Autumn Iyengar Yoga Retreat

November 16 - November 19, 2023

Rebecca Hooper

Turning inwards, Autumn is a time for processing the events of the year and indeed, one's life, thus far; reflection and introspection.Through asana, pranayama, pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (holding of one's attention) and dhyana (meditation), we will support and honor the qualities of the season, making space through inner expansion.We will build the reserves of prana and fortify emotional and mental stability to move forwards through the flow of life with openness, gratitude and wonder.

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”

I just returned from an over-night stay at the Menia Retreat Center.  During that time, I was very fortunate to have had four services at the beautiful Dewa Spa.All of them were amazing, but I really have to take a few minutes to write about Sarite Sanders who did Craniosacral Therapy and Nicole Bernhardt who provided Extended KuNye Massage.

Both of these women are gifted practitioners who clearly are dedicated to their healing modalities.  Sarite is not just a healer but a teacher–a very powerful combination for a true wellness practitioner. She even suggested movement exercises that I could do at home to help with an old injury–one I had not told her about, but that she “felt” as she worked on my body. Both of these women took time to explain what and why they were doing certain things and thus were able to create a very safe environment for healing. Thank you for a truly lovely experience.

“The genius is in the details of this place. Simple . elegant and chic. The food is always creative, delicious and healthy. The staff is right on. There is nothing they won’t do to make you comfortable. And then there’s the Spa. It’s the big embrace when you walk through the door. The whole place is a huge container of LOVE.”
