Description

Enjoy a Two Night Retreat & Renewal Stay for one person at Kripalu Center for Yoga &  Health, located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. 


Take a personal retreat. With Kripalu Retreat and Renewal, you decide how to spend your days so that you can create exactly the right experience for you. Choose from a variety of experiential and educational workshops, outdoor activities, and yoga and movement classes. Come for self-care and enjoy gentle yoga classes, introspective workshops, and solo time—including an inspirational labyrinth walk at dusk. Or jump-start your fitness routine and go hiking, learn nutrition tips, take vigorous yoga classes, and try tai chi for the first time! You can visit the whirlpool or enjoy a soothing massage.


Many people come alone, while others bring a friend or loved one. Everyone’s experience of Kripalu Retreat and Renewal is as unique as they are.  We offer a rich daily schedule that allows you to do just what you want, whether it’s soul-searching, celebrating, or simply remembering who you are when you’re not absorbed by the flurry of family, work, and life. Whatever it is, you'll return home renewed from the inside out.

This was a life-changing experience for me. For the first time, I did something for myself. I learned about how I really am, what I am capable of, and most importantly, how special life is. We all need to live each day like it was our last.
—Gina Lazzaro, real estate agent, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


Kripalu is what I imagine heaven to be like: full of life, love, and wonderful energy and people. Kripalu gave me my life back—to enjoy, to grow and to reach beyond myself.
