Navigate the Creative Path of the Self with Iyengar Yoga

April 08 - April 10, 2022

Jessica Becker

Spring is the season of creativity. Spring inspires growth - something new and different. The path of yoga is a deeply generous and creative gift to yourself for it gives you a place to know, accept, and grow with the constancy of change.This weekend retreat with Jess offers a space for this. Iyengar Yoga is a tool that draws out your creative self to heal and deal with what comes up physically, emotionally, and psychologically with awareness, compassion and an ever deepening understanding of yourself. The workshop includes asana practice, discussion of yoga texts, pranayama practice, and time to recognize your own creative self and simply be.

MENLA RETREATS

“This was hands down the best spiritual retreat experience I’ve had since I left my teacher’s ashram. Omega, Kripalu, Esalen don’t compare to the lovely energy happening at Menla. The small, intimate facilities allow them to make delicious food, very sattvic & each meal feels restoring to vitality. The staff is very kind and helpful. Everyone we met seemed to have a fullness of heart and a strong dedication to be of service to the place & the guests. The environs are gorgeous! The hiking trails are well marked. I could spend 100 days here & never wish for the outside world. I cannot recommend this place more.”

“Menla is one of my favorite retreat centers in the world. The natural beauty, the wonderful staff and great accommodations always make the experience of leading a retreat effortless and graceful. The blessings of HH Dalai Lama and many other Great Beings who have been there usher us into our own True Nature with joy and ease.”

Krishna Das

“Going to Menla is like dropping out of time. The physical beauty and stillness of the place is unique. The accommodations are just right – comfortable but not ostentatious. The food is amazing and clearly made with attention and love. Thank you!”
