Welcome to Song of the Morning
A Yoga and Meditation Retreat of Excellence
-
Spiritual Foundation
Spiritual living is our core and our inspiration. Our daily meditation, yoga practice and study are established in the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Through our discipleship and dedication to this path, we find joy in serving those who come here seeking spiritual nourishment.
-
Fellowship & Community
For over 50 years we’ve been a spiritual home for thousands who come from near and far. Inspired by a vision of “world brotherhood”, our bonds of friendship and Community are based on how we can support one another spiritually, for a day or for a lifetime.

Beautiful & Pristine Land
Nature is sacred to us and our forest sanctuary has a healing, rejuvenating presence. As caretakers of 800 acres graced by the Pigeon River, we invite guests to enjoy our Shrine Trails and enjoy God in Nature.
"The excellence of Yoga is that it points out both the goal and the way."
— Paramahansa Yogananda

Plans for the Future
We recently launched a legacy campaign at Song of the Morning. We plan to restore all existing buildings and then build a new structure that will increase our capacity for our growing future.
Prayer Requests
We invite you to offer a loved one’s name for our daily Healing Prayer. As part of Self-Realization Fellowship’s “Worldwide Prayer Council”, we practice the Healing Prayer for all requests we’ve received. Your request is kept confidential and is printed and placed on our altar where it will remain for 30 days.

“The beauty of the moon, the expanse of the blue sky, the splendor of the starry heavens, are but expressions of the beauty and omnipresence of God. The songbird and the brook lispingly warble the divine notes that are fragments of the Music hidden within all creation.”
— Paramahansa Yogananda
