Art of Living Retreat Center

The food was nourishing and tasty, and I never expected vegetarian meals to be this delicious. Set high in the mountains, this is a serene place to relax. There are several courses, including Happiness programs and Yoga retreats, and the Ayurvedic spa offers special programs such as Panchakarma. One of the best wellbeing resorts I've visited.

The hospitality and the view were lovely, and I was surprised by how good the vegan and vegetarian food tasted. I'd like to see more activities and classes available outside of retreats. The hiking paths could use better safety attention, perhaps with walking sticks people can borrow and return at either end. The busy stretches of trail could also use more lighting.

Poornima made the retreat life changing for me. She conveyed the knowledge and principles so well and guided our group through the course in a way that made the experience possible. The curriculum, instructor, campus, and amenities were all top notch. There are daily classes open to everyone, good food, transportation, trails, an amazing spa, and comfortable sleeping quarters. Definitely recommend scheduling a retreat.

The staff were courteous, attentive, and professional, and the vegetarian meals were nutritious and thoughtfully made. I visited The Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina two days ago. In the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains, it combines natural beauty, tranquility, and thoughtful design. Its programs bring together yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in a well-structured way, supporting relaxation and self-awareness. Whether you're there for a retreat or wellness program, or just want time to rejuvenate, it's an outstanding destination for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
