Ojas is truly a magical place. We hosted our Adapting Together Yoga Retreat here and couldn’t have imagined a more supportive, nourishing and beautifully held environment. From the moment we arrived, everything felt intentional, grounded and full of care. The land itself is stunning and peaceful, the accommodations are thoughtful and comfortable, and the team at Ojas is incredibly warm, responsive and aligned. The quality of the space truly stands out, from the abundance of beautiful, well-maintained props to the overall cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the property. Everything felt cared for, which allowed our guests to fully relax and drop in. Our guests felt deeply supported and safe to rest, connect and open up, which made the entire experience even more meaningful. We are beyond grateful for our time here and would absolutely love to host another retreat at Ojas in the future. This place holds something very special and we feel honored to have been a part of it :)

I brought a group of women here for my "Diving Deep with the Goddess" retreat and I could not have asked for a better experience. The location over looking the valley was beautiful, the yoga shala was spectacular with beautiful acoustics, being in nature felt rejuvenating, and the way Gabrielle took care of us, was perfect. I loved that it was close enough to Los Angeles to bring all the things we needed to make the experience what I envisioned, but also remote enough to feel as if we stepped out of the world. We also booked the private chef option and Matthew's food was so nourishing and gorgeous. Every person had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Ojas and would come back again.

I absolutely love Ojas Retreat Center!!! It’s a clean, peaceful place that offers a perfect escape from the chaos of everyday life. Gabrielle, the owner, is incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to answer any concerns. The vegan food prepared by their chef is outstanding—every meal was a delight. The rooms are comfortable and spotless, and the scenic trails for walking or running offer beautiful views, especially at sunset and sunrise. They also provide a great selection of coffee and herbal teas, which was a nice touch. If you’re looking for a serene retreat, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!!!!

The retreat was in a magnificent place, with such a marvelous sunrise view from our home for the week! Easy access to various walking trail. Ojas have also created their own peace trail which is a great escape for a short and meditative hike. Meditation and yoga were fabulous! Try any of their retreats and definitely the DHARMA one. Thank you Ojas team for looking after all of us so well (including their chef, who prepares amazing vegan meals!).

I lead a retreat at Ojas over Halloween weekend for a group pf women. From the moment we arrived, Gabrielle and Chad (owners) greeted us with warmth and care. The land feels sacred — with spectacular mountain views, walking trails, and breathtaking sunrises. The pavilion was perfect for yin yoga, yoga nidra, intuitive dancing (some of our activities at our retreat). We enjoyed the options to eat outdoors under the open sky or gather cozily indoors. We brought our own chef, and the space was ideal for creating nourishing meals. Every detail supports rest, reflection, and reconnection — Ojas is truly a place where peace lives.

Staying at Ojas was the perfect recharge and reset that I needed mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Thanks to the quiet location, peaceful atmosphere, and comfortable bed, I had some of the best sleep ever and woke up feeling refreshed - which is a big deal considering how often I have trouble sleeping. The property is beautiful with great views of the sunrise over the mountains. There’s a trail on the property that provided a nice quiet walk away from the house and had even more views along the trail. The house itself was up-to-date with everything I needed - a kitchen with modern amenities, a hot tub that was very relaxing, some books to peruse, TV, and even some musical instruments to play - or in my case, try to play. The yoga studio had an open and welcoming feel to it with windows all around filling it with natural light. It’s very apparent that the owners of the property put a lot of thought, attention and effort into this place, which helped make it a truly memorable experience for me. I highly recommend. Thank you Ojas!

@OjasRetreatCenter is a truly special place. I came for the DharmaYoga retreat and left feeling more grounded, connected, and at peace than I’ve felt in a long time. The energy of the space is incredibly supportive—it feels like sacred ground the moment you arrive. Everything about the retreat was thoughtful and intentional—from the practices to the people to the nourishing food. You can feel the love and devotion that went into creating this space. It’s a place for deep rest, real healing, and reconnecting with your purpose. So grateful for the experience. I’ll definitely be back.

I held a 4 day Yoga Retreat in January and can't wait for the next one. Ojas Retreat Center is truly a wonderful Venue for a gathering. The Pavilion where we held our daily classes was absolutley stunning and it was always warm and clean, plenty of space and the perfectly located on the property. The rooms are clean, lots of natural light and very comfortable. The food was incredible. Gabrielle, hired an amazing vegan cook for us. The meals were always on time and absolutley delicious. I can't wait to hold another retreat in the summer so we can open up all the glass doors in the Pavilion and use the pool too! Gabrielle was amazing and always nearby if I needed anything. She is kind, generous and so happy to serve and accommodate. I absolutely recommend Ojas Retreat Center for your next retreat. I cant wait to return myself! Hari Om..
