The studio itself is beautiful. Gorgeous wood floors, and high ceilings make it feel spacious and cozy. The classes there are terrific, and there really is something for everyone. Carla Olla, who owns the studio, has a wide variety of teachers and classes, and every teacher is kind, knowledgeable, and makes Yoga accessible. Every class I have taken there has been beneficial for mind and body. Lots of props and yoga mats to use if you don't have your own. The teacher's instructions are clear and easy to follow.

DDRC is a rare meditation center that offers profound, authentic teachings of Buddhism in a setting…read moreand fashion that is accessible to those who may be unfamiliar. Thank you very much to all of the teachers and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to give us a space for relaxation and training. The teachers at DDRC are monastics from Asia or trained lay practitioners who are experienced in using English to instruct western students. The design of their retreats are comfortable and forgiving while still providing adequate intensity to challenge and inspire growth. (Note for those familiar with meditation: the Chan school from which DDRC issues relentlessly focuses on meditative methods and the usage of the mind, and less on formal strictures and conventions. If you are familiar with retreats in the Zen style, you will probably adjust to the Chan approach quite quickly.) The facilities, especially the meditation hall, are beautiful and modern. The retreat center is located in the tranquil embrace of nature where one normally hears nothing but birdsong and the sound of flowing water, though it is still easily accessible by car. Highly recommended for both those new to meditation and advanced practitioners looking to go deeper.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I recently attended a 3-day beginner's meditation retreat and…read moreall I can say is that is was clear that they wanted nothing from me; they only wanted to see me grow. The purpose of the retreat was to create an environment that would support everyone in their practice and would encourage mindfulness at all times. The retreat was held in silence, which took some getting used to, but was ultimately very effective in creating the ultimate peaceful environment. Because it was a beginner's retreat, there were some conversations held discussion style with the entire group. The retreat was very affordable, especially for students. I wish I could afford to give them more than I did! The food is PHENOMENAL! With an all vegetarian menu, I overate at every meal because of how delicious and healthy everything was. In fact, when I first arrived, I had a cold. After eating such healthy food all weekend, I left feeling refreshed and cold-free. The retreat was led by Rikki Asher and Nancy Bonardi. They were both warm, happy, and wonderful teachers. They shared their wisdom openly, but also respected and learned from anything that those attending were willing to share. There are many details about what type of programs are available on the website. I am looking forward to trying to find another opportunity to spend time on the beautiful campus. I left feeling loved, peaceful, and inspired. I found a direction to take my practice in and I have felt more patient and compassionate toward the people in my life ever since.

I was one of his first students and an early trustee, when the building you see now was just a two space garage waiting to be developed. The buildings were developed mostly by Lama Norhla, his students and practitioners. This monastery was the first in the US, back in 1980 or so, to carry through the authentic three year retreat of Tibetan Buddhism by which a person can become a Lama. A number of Lamas now well known went through the first three year retreat here. You will find the authentic holders of Tibetan Buddhism here. You can not find a more complete monastery, anywhere. This is well worth all efforts to visit and to do a retreat. You will discover the roots of what is now called mindfulness, began here in this tradition. And there is as well so much more...... Mindfulness and Compassion.
