Rooted in Nature Yoga retreat
This is my second time visiting Ratna Ling. The location is absolutely beautiful! Being surrounded by Oaks and majestic redwood trees while hearing sounds of nature truly soothed my soul.
The Retreat Center compliments the surrounding natural beauty. Not only is the retreat center beautifully appointed with windows opening out onto nature; it is impeccably clean, the staff is lovely and the calm energy is infectious to all who are lucky enough to visit.
I stayed in one of the wooden cottages and not only was it beautifully clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable. The cottages are paneled with wood and the natural beauty of the interior harmonizes with the views out the windows. The deck is perfect for stargazing. Everything was there for me to be able to reset myself. I remain grateful for my time at Ratna Ling. 🙏 Namaste

There is something truly special about Ratna Ling. The peaceful natural setting, thoughtful accommodations, nourishing food, and wonderful people make it feel like a place where your mind, body, and spirit can genuinely reset.
As someone on a yoga and spiritual journey, I found the retreat to be deeply inspiring. It gave me the space to reflect, learn, breathe, and connect on a deeper level. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, grateful, and carrying a renewed sense of peace with me.
Ratna Ling is more than just a retreat center—it feels like a sanctuary for the soul.

Amazing Respite near the Bay Area!
I had such a wonderful experience at Ratna Ling for my yoga teacher training. The staff are amazing, warm, and genuinely supportive. The food, gorgeous drive and sacred land alone is worth a few days or week away! It's a true respite from the Bay Area and an ideal place to slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in what matters. I’m very grateful for my time there!
