Yokoji Retreat Center is the picture of tranquility, set in a remote mountain valley, far away from all the stresses and strains of urban living. Yoga, Tai Chi, leadership, relaxation and spiritual retreats have all been successfully held on our grounds in the past years. The rugged beauty of our environment is perfect for those seeking peace, to reconnect with nature; for those seeking solitude and also those looking to bond over a shared experience.

The Center is set up on ecological principals. Our power is harnessed from the sun and the wind and our water is drawn from an on-site well. The food we serve is 100% vegetarian, and largely organic.

Accomodations:

• Variety of accommodation providing living space for up to 45 people.
