Did you know there is a vegetarian yoga retreat center in Conroe, Texas? Me neither!

Indus Valley Yoga and Retreat Center has a focus on the environment, with a composting toilet, reclaimed materials, gray water sprinkler system, and passive solar heating. Along with yoga workshops, Indus Valley also has vegetarian and vegan cooking classes. They even cook some of their food in a solar oven! Even better, the profits from their workshops pay for medical care for the dogs at the special needs dog sanctuary located on the property. Guests who are interested can interact with the dogs!

Retreats include three vegetarian/vegan meals and two snacks with vegetables grown right on the property or from nearby farms. Check out their calendar for upcoming retreats and workshops. And if you hurry, you can buy a groupon for a $27 vegetarian and vegan cooking class.
