A Destination Like No Other
I first learned of Rancho la Puerta through my yoga studies. Indra Devi, “the first lady of yoga,” attended the same yoga school in India as my teacher, BKS Iyengar. After graduating from the Krishnamacharya yoga school, Indra Devi lived for a short time in Tecate, Mexico. There, she conducted training courses for yoga practitioners at what has now become the world’s #1 fitness spa destination by Travel + Leisure, 14 years in a row!
Spend a few days at Rancho La Puerta, and you’ll easily understand why! The Ranch, as it’s known by its devotees, is a magical place of peace. It has 4000 acres of lush paths that lovingly guide you through your stay, hiking trails, a sense of spirituality, spacious art and fitness studios, an incredible spa, and several pools (I love the water workouts). And the food! Rancho la Puerta was plant-based before it was a thing. Communal meals are incredibly delicious and nutritious. Along with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, the Ranch serves dairy, eggs, seafood, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Kind, sincere, creative, strong-hearted – it’s a network of souls all together for the greater good. That’s how I feel at the Ranch, with all the staff, in their sweet gentle ways, working to bring each of us the best experience of our lives. Every moment is carefully crafted with a sense of peaceful pleasure within a feeling of aliveness.
Rancho la Puerta and Me
While I knew about Rancho la Puerta, I had never visited until two of my yoga school students told me that I had to go and that the Ranch needed me. Seeking the connection, I was quickly hooked! Rancho la Puerta has authenticity you can feel – the same as my Really Real Yoga®. Now, I too am a Ranch regular.
My five-day series “Your Way To Wellness” is based on my 30+ years as a teacher of India yoga and Ayurveda. It is fun and informative wellness of mind, body, and spirit. I introduce practical life skills that are personalized just for you, designed to bring inner balance based on who you are and what you desire in this life. My series accelerates awakening, reconnecting you with a greater sense of purpose and inspiration in your life. This is my passion and my whole life’s work.

Testimonials
I’ve been taking yoga for eight years now, never have I felt the love as with Marianne’s teachings.
Tracy (Canada)
“I arrived to this training already 200RYT by Core Power Yoga. I can’t believe how much more I learned from Marianne and Ron!!! At CP we were taught to memorize scripts, at Marianne Wells Yoga School we were taught anatomy and how it applies to the individual, mental fluctuations and dosha imbalances and how those apply to the individual. I always struggled because I knew there was more to yoga, Marianne and Ron are the source for so much more than simple knowledge, they are the source of wisdom from yogas origins and from decades of experience in teaching yoga. Thank you for this beautiful journey.”
Lucy (Spain)
“I’ve learned the value of Really Real Yoga! Marianne teaches you what yoga is all about. My heart has grown so much. I am forever grateful for Marianne, Ron and the teaching assistants who took care of us.”
Anna (Sweden)
“Marianne’s morning classes were magical. I am a first responder, however, this training gave me a deeper physical understanding of my own body. I really enjoyed the sutras. The activities we did helped to raise our vibrations and awareness. Marianne has the power to not only facilitate an amazing experience, she can also read and channel energy in a nurturing environment. Really Real Yoga® approach gave me the confidence and foundation to become the yoga teacher I want to be and know I can be. This whole experience was really “life skills” in a yoga package. This experience made me think deeply on my own health and life. I am returning home empowered to make changes that I have needed to in my life for some time now. Marianne and Ron, you are changing lives with your work and I feel privileged to have had this opportunity.”
