RETREAT. RESET. RETURN.
Retreat to the beautiful Catskills for a long weekend of practice, connection and reflection with Taryn Burns. Known for her accessible and progressive programming, practices are thoughtfully designed to pacify kapha, offsetting the heaviness and darkness of winter by inviting more space and circulation to your practice.
In addition to experiencing this physical, mental and energetic reset while on retreat - students will be given the tools to sustain these practices when they return home.
Morning meditation / myofascial release: release physical tension through efficient myofascial release practices.
Alignment / Technique Labs: deepen your understanding of the function of a posture or technique and to personalize your practice with props / variations to meet your unique alignment and experience level.
Rest Hour: enjoy a beautiful winter hike on one of the on-property trails, experience state of the art spa treatments or simply rest.
Practice: apply what you’ve learned in the lab to move through your practice more efficiently and effectively.
Yoga Nidra: create a sankalpa (intention) and identify the best set-up for this deeply restorative guided meditation practice.
Return to your day-to-day life feeling reset and with a practice plan in place to sustain you through the remaining winter months.

Invaluable retreat

In the beautiful valley of Menla, Dr James supports learning such profound inner yogas that are honestly priceless. His depth of experience and ability to speak to it is profound and impactful. Every time I’ve learned and trained with James I come off feeling continued inner conviction and confidence. Especially in approaching and navigating the space of difficult emotions. I will continue to train and attend retreats when I can.

The Reconnection Retreat; Nuturing the soul through the 5 elements of nature

As the retreat leader of this particular retreat I want to express how Divine the setting was. There is a natural levity on the property that can’t be explained , only felt.

All of the thoughtful spaces were just so amazing to hold presence for those magical “ Menla moments” that seem to organically occur there.

The staff is beyond accommodating. The food delighted the senses and nourished our bodies. The housing accommodations felt warm and welcoming like a sweet embrace that lingers in the memories.

I still find my face with a random smile through the days after as my thoughts drift back again and agin to the place called Menla.

Reconnection Retreat

Menla is such a magical place. This retreat weekend was pure magic. Everything from the mountains, the air, the food, the people, the energy felt so grounding and healing. You can literally feel the peace the moment you arrive.

I reconnected with myself in a way I really needed. The sound of the river, the trails, the beautiful spaces… it’s like time slows down there. The rooms were cozy, the food was delicious (and made with so much love), and the whole vibe was just nourishing for the soul.

If you ever get the chance to visit Menla or join a retreat there do it. It’s one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. The spirit of Naga the Dragon was with me even before arriving there.

Weekend retreat stay

The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.

Lovely

I had a fascinating and enlightening experience during an “Energy squared Reiki,” class at Menlo this past week. The grounds, rooms, facilities amenities and spa at Menla were all beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was delicious and nourishing. I can say only good things about both Menla and the program I attended, and would wholeheartedly recommend both.
