Ashram hosting Swami Veda Bharati and his highly acclaimed international
faculty.
A comprehensive education in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition (HYT)
will be presented to those registering as HYT guests and a subset
of the program will be presented to Rancho La Puerta's Spa gu ests.
Rancho La Puerta has offered HYT guests a very special price
when registering in one of our programs: Teacher Training, Yoga
Teacher Continuing Education, or Spiritual Retreat. Attend any
or all weeks. The minimum stay is one week. Guests arrive on
a Saturday in August and depart on either the following Saturday
or on a subsequent Saturday depending on the length of the stay.
Please book your reservation as early as possible as there is
limited space for HYT guests. A priority will be given to those
enrolled in our Teacher Training program until 5/1/2008.
During the month the program emphasis will vary as described
below. For a day-by-day schedule click here.

As one of HYT's Ashram guests at Rancho La Puerta, you will
be sharing a comfortable and cozy room. Either in a Rancheras,
roomy studio bedrooms with two double beds or a Haciendas, little
houses with one bedroom each with two double beds.
In the tradition of retreat-style housing, many of the rooms
do not have telephones, and none have a television. If your
room has no phone, one is located nearby in a central location.
If you are arriving by car, the guest parking lot is located
inside the gated entrance. Your luggage will be delivered and
picked up by hand-cart. If you are arriving by plane, Rancho
La Puerta provides scheduled, complimentary ground transportation

Rancho La Puerta is renowned for freshly picked produce and
nutritious natural foods. Over sixty years of culinary creativity,
experimentation and dietary research have culminated in a superb
all-natural diet. It is low in fat, sodium, and refined flour
and sugar - while high in energy, fiber, and complex carbohydrates.
Following "Slow Food" precepts as much as possible and as attuned
to the seasons as they can reasonably be, they procure organic
fruits and vegetables from their own extensive organic farm,
or from region's purveyors who practice sustainable, organic
farming.
The Ranch's diet, which is lacto-ovo vegetarian, includes a
seafood "catch of the day" five to six times a week
for dinner, and several times for lunch. A vegetarian alternative
entrée is always offered for those who don't eat fish or shellfish.
