Welcome to The Ashram!
Since 1974, The Ashram has been a place of transformation—an oasis of health and tranquility, offering a welcome respite from the pace of daily life. Rooted in movement and mindful nourishment, our approach has guided guests through deeply rewarding, weeklong experiences for over five decades.
What began in California as the first “boot camp”-style retreat of its kind has held its essence while expanding into a global experience. Today, that legacy continues in extraordinary destinations around the world, with our signature program unfolding across breathtaking landscapes—from coastal paths to mountain trails—while staying true to the spirit and care that define The Ashram.
Wherever you meet us, the experience remains the same—invigorating, restorative, and deeply renewing.
