The Ancient Yoga Center sits on the private grounds of Radha Madhav Dham, an ashram that keeps a smoke-free, alcohol-free and drug-free environment. If your GPS takes you to the closed security gate, open 9am to 10pm, continue 500 yards to the main entry gate, or arrange a side-gate code with your retreat organizer if you're arriving later. Meals, tea, fruit and snacks are available throughout your stay, reverse osmosis water is in the common areas, and the property has a strict no-pets policy that includes service animals.
