Join us for 3 days, 2 nights in Temecula, CA
The Ananda Temecula Retreat Center was created out of a desire to share yoga and meditation in a quiet place outside of the city that’s still only a 90-minute drive from the greater Los Angeles area and 60 minutes from San Diego. The house sits on a beautiful 80 acres of lemon trees, avocado trees, and grape vineyards. The vibration of the land and all of the creatures create a nurturing environment for a serene and peaceful getaway, making it optimal for healing the mind, body, and spirit.
