One of the best parts of the Crib is the Food. Organic and locally grown by Steve Sprinkle, John Fonteyn (pictured) and team, then deliciously prepared, you will feel nourished and loved with each bite. Breakfast and Lunch will be served and sold at Crib Headquarters. You will find chai, fresh squeezed orange juice, organic homemade muffins, fruit and other treats in the mornings. Delicious soups and salads are offered at lunch. Food is not included in the price of the ticket.






One of the most wonderful comments we hear every year is: "I finally found the teacher within." When choosing the Crib Teachers, we seek to align with souls who possess humor, wisdom, passion, spirit and vision. We like teachers who are able to share themselves completely and fully without imposing their path on you. This year we are thrilled to welcome Sarah Powers, Sean Johnson, Jill Miller and Chandra Easton. And we are totally delighted that Uma Goswami is coming back. Thank you Saul David Raye, Patricia Sullivan, Jason Crandell, Katchie Ananda, Laura Tyree and of course, Papa Bear Erich Schiffmann for returning to share your magic. We're gathering to play, grow and practice. We are delighted to help you pick the right playlist for you.

Ojai is a magical mystical place that has long been understood as a spirtual pilgrimage destination. Nestled in the arms of the South Padre National Forrest, the name Ojai (pronounced O-HIGH) is derived from the Chumash word “Awhai”. The word is thought to mean “The Nest” or “The Moon” and Ojai is often called “The Valley of the Moon”. Read More about Ojai.

The Crib is a yoga pilgrimage. Built on the rich Spiritual Tradition of the Ojai Valley, the yoga sessions, meditations, and evening events take place in some of the most historically significant and sacred spots in the Valley.

You pick 5 teachers with whom you would like to practice and then we handweave your schedule accordingly.

If you stay within town, you will not need a car over the weekend. Many of the yoga venues are right in town and we provide transportation to the ones that are up in the hills. Past guests have said that the school bus rides are one of their favorite parts of the Crib.

The Crib is an "in-town-retreat" and Crib Guests make their own housing arrangements. There is a variety of places to stay throughout the Valley. From quaint bed and breakfasts in the heart of town, to luxurious inns, to retreat centers to lakeside camping and couches in local homes. Read more about Accommodations.
