USA Today 10BEST Awards Winners
2nd Place: Best Yoga Retreat Center
4th Place: Best Meditation Center
We are honored to share that Mount Madonna, a yoga retreat and meditation center in Northern California, placed in the top ten in two categories for the USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards: 2nd Best Yoga Retreat Center and 4th Best Meditation Center.
Set on 380 acres of redwood forest and open meadows in Watsonville, California, Mount Madonna has offered a sanctuary for peace seekers — a place to rest, reflect, and return to source. The campus sits on the unceded homeland of the Ohlone Peoples, and the Esselen People before them, who stewarded this land across generations. Today, visitors come to reconnect with themselves, with others, and with nature.
Guided by the timeless teachings of master yogi Baba Hari Dass, and sustained by generations of dedicated practitioners, teachers, volunteers, staff, and guests, Mount Madonna continues to thrive as a living community devoted to Yoga, service, and the cultivation of peace.
This award reflects the contributions of everyone who has ever taught, studied, volunteered, or simply walked this land. We’re honored by this recognition and by the community whose dedication and care have made it possible.
Thank you for being a part of Mount Madonna’s unfolding story.
