What Others Are Saying
I highly recommend Ananda Meditation Retreat to anyone that is looking to gain a deeper understanding and working knowledge of yoga and meditation. The staff are all extremely well versed in these areas and share all of what they know with students. Every meal served during the retreat was delicious... Enjoy the peace and tranquility that Ananda so willingly gives to all. J. M., Red Bluff, CA
