Maya’s Tassajara Retreat

When: June 9 - 13, 2026
Where: Zen Mountain Retreat Center of Tassajara, Carmel Valley

This retreat will offer five days of yoga Tues - Sun. Two classes of two hours each day (one class on day of arrival and departure) in the heart of Carmel Valley at the deeply peaceful Zen Mountain Retreat Center of Tassajara. Students are welcome to join daily mediation sessions, soak in the mineralized hot springs or sweat it out in the sauna, enjoy walks along the creek, or take a short hike to The Narrows for a fun slide and swim experience to invigorate body and soul.

Maya will be managing the administration of this retreat (not Tassajara) so proceeds go to her for the entire retreat. The cost of the retreat includes room and board (three meals daily), use of all facilities, and the yoga. Transportation to Tassajara will be arranged, students may drive themselves (with appropriate vehicles for bumpy dirt road) or the “stagecoach” can be reserved. Space is limited in this retreat. To reserve your spot, please send $100 deposit (Venmo Maya-lev-2, check or cash also accepted).

Creekside Cabins: $1975/ person double occupancy
