Located on a 3-acre hilltop in the outskirts of Santa Rosa, California, Ananda Kamalalaya offers beautiful views over the Santa Rosa Valley. Nestled among California oaks are several small cabins, a small cottage and large French garden. Our 500 square foot deck is perfect for outdoor yoga or meditation, and also boasts a small hot tub overlooking the Mayacamas Mountains in the distance. Our gardens provide fresh fruit and vegetables which we use in cooking wholesome vegetarian meals throughout the spring, summer and fall.

The main house is home to our meditation hall, where we host most of our programs. Meals are served in the kitchen, and students can choose to eat in the dining room, living room or outside on the deck.

The city of Santa Rosa is just minutes away by car, offering a wide variety of amenities, including several health food stores, vegetarian restaurants, and a large State Park with miles of hiking trails and several small lakes. For those coming from out of town, the San Francisco and Oakland airports are a 2-hour shuttle ride away, and the small Santa Rosa aiport offers regular flights from nearby cities, such as Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
