Details of this retreat

Quiet Mind • Radiant Body • Open Heart

Welcome the season of renewal with a weekend dedicated to yoga, meditation, and gentle self-reflection. Together, we will attune to the rhythms of nature and the generous unfolding of spring - quieting our minds, awakening our bodies, and opening our hearts.

Our days will include an early morning Mindfulness Meditation to invite ease, a mid-morning All-Levels Vinyasa Flow practice to cultivate vitality and presence, and a late afternoon Deep Stretching session to create inner space. We will bring each day to a peaceful close with offerings of Yoga Nidra or a Sound Bath, encouraging rest and restoration. There will be plenty of free time for relaxation and renewal - walks in the woods, reading, or sharing wonderful plant-based meals and warm friendship.

Throughout the retreat, our practices will encourage a return to the present moment, a compassionate relationship with the body, and a spirit of gratitude for the support of one another and for the gift of this miraculous life.

You may choose to stay for either two or three nights. We look forward to this special time of discovery as we seek to embody the peace, wisdom, love, and light that is our deepest essence.

The Best

Menla is the best; Reminds me of what Kirpalu was like decades ago - It was like being at home in nature. Peaceful. The food was the best too. Just wonderful. I know I will be back. Thank you for a singular experience : )

Great positive journey toward wholeness

My experience with the workshop, “ The Myth and Mystery of Sacred Geometry and the Healing Nature of Mandalas: A Holotropic Breathwork Workshop” was far beyond any expectations I brought to Menla. The 3 presenters were exemplary in clarity, humanity, warmth, and knowledge. There was a lot of healing in evidence, personal growth stories shared by other participants also cited insight, change, support, and shifts toward higher degrees of health and understanding. It was a big deal for me.

The Menla center was a great beautiful place to stay during this adventure, nourished by delicious meals and the glorious first blush of Springtime in the Catskill Mountains.

Invigorating experience

Equinox Embodied was an amazing retreat. The yoga and Pilates classes were well executed and the yoga nidra and sound baths were so relaxing . The retreat was filled with thoughtful surprises and close attention to details. The magic of Menla enhanced the experience. I went home feeling rejuvenated and invigorated. Thank you Kim and Whitney!

Beautiful Retreat

Menla’s grounds are truly special, tucked into the gorgeous Catskill mountains, you truly cannot beat the location. There is a pond, a creek, hiking trails and multiple places to explore. I felt such peace joining this retreat between the beautiful itinerary and the space it was held. Highly recommend a retreat at Menla.

Equinox embodied retreat

I loved my time at menla while attending my retreat. The space is so beautiful and all of the staff is so kind. I also really enjoyed the spa where I was able to get a massage. My room was beautiful as well. I would love to come and stay here again.
