live in So. California and need some time away someplace lovely. Either flying or a short drive. Well, more into flying maybe.
I'm looking for a lovely retreat, maybe with Spa facilitities, into Yoga.

Anybody know of a good place? Or have you ever been to a Hawaiian Retreat?
Thanks.

You might want to consider a few days in Ojai if you're looking for a peaceful retreat close to home.

If you prefer getting a little away from home, I'd highly recommend Red Mountain Resort and Spa in Southern Utah.

Thanks. The thing is I have a little Miata and I'm terrified of driving on freeways. SUVs and Big Trucks don't see my car at all.

Thi Ojai Valley Inn and Spa is one of THE top spa's in the country. I highly recommend it.

This is not at all spa-like, but it is magnificent--Mount Madonna Yoga Retreat Center (or ashram, or something), near Watsonville, CA. It's a real yoga community in a wonderful location. I've been there.

Me again: I looked at Mount Madonna's site (find it on Google): there is a hot tub and wellness center offering body work, and there's a women's retreat week in April that sounds nice to me. (I went to a yoga-related conference there, so I was involved in a program rather than just visiting the center for its own sake.)

Thank you! I will check it out!
