"I came to Ananda Ashram with uncertain aims but felt drawn to a calm, yoga filled weekend. I walked away wholly transformed and plan to return again. It is a very "vibey" place. You can make your own experience and stay as busy as you like. there is a general weekend schedule + special workshops that cost extra. I'm not a vegetarian but enjoyed going veg for the weekend.

Tips:

I'd highly suggest taking a walk around the lake - it's beautiful! I brought an additional pillow after reading the ones they had were bad. They were fine but I appreciated having an extra.

Accommodations were clean and simple. I did not come here for a "luxury" yoga retreat. The simplicity of it all paired well with the general mind clearing the weekend provided.

I came alone and would recommend that for other first timers. Great way to get out of your comfort zone and detach. People were friendly and I left with new friends."

If you are just looking for a place to get some peace and quiet, this is the spot for you! The living quarters are a little cramped (no single rooms), but the property is beautiful, and the staff is very nice and accommodating.

"I really enjoyed my stay at Ananda Ashram and I am happy to give feedback and writer a review. I arrived at Ananda in the evening after the reception had closed and was extremely grateful to have a pack left out with instructions although I feel instructions on times of meditation would have also helped as I hadnt realised that I arrived during a meditation time and therefore was not conscientious of this.

The Ashram is beautiful and amazing and I would highly recommend all of the yoga classes, I made sure I went to everything to make my experience worth while but you are welcome and encouraged to follow your own journey, if you do not want to participate you are more than welcome to do your own thing. I fell in love with the food, it was healthy and nutritious.

Plenty of vegetables, you could add Maca and seeds to your food and I slightly over ate because of this, make sure you dont before a yoga class. All in all I would love to re-visit the Ashram, this time in the spring or summer, it was beautiful under snow and calming but I can only imagine the rejuvenation of the spring.

"I spent Labor Day weekend here for their regular retreat. Excellent yoga classes, lovely grounds around a pretty lake and delicious vegetarian food were the highlights. Meditation was good but I am not a fan of the fire ceremony due to the fumes.

We stayed in a semiprivate room, which was quiet the first night but the next day, two toddlers arrived with their mothers, who did not respect the quiet rules and let their kids run down the halls and make noise early in the morning. Now that summer is over, it should be quieter but I do recommend that you ask if young children will be there if you book a semiprivate room as your stay may not be altogether peaceful. "

"I've been practicing yoga and meditation for 25 years and have had the good fortune to travel to ashrams around the world. This ashram is the real thing. Yoga in all of its limbs and levels is taught and practiced by seasoned practitioners. Outstanding asanas, Sanskrit classes, Truly transformative."

"Spiritual seekers can find India's true, tried depth only an hour outside of New York. Those who are looking for a cheap hotel or a spa should look elsewhere. Ananda is an Ashram - which means a spiritual retreat center. If anyone is on any sort of spiritual path, this means looking deep into your self - including low tolerance of amenities that are not at all spa-like, but heavenly as in one with nature. yes, you will share dorm space, yes, you might have to camp and yes, there will be lots of people there with you whom you may or may not like. Spiritual centers are about seeing one's own judgments, criticisms and constantly wavering mind stuff in the light of a Guru's wisdom. If you want the Guru's light, you've got to sit next to the fire. And the fire is at Ananda Ashram."
