The Summer Slowdown: A Weekend Yoga Retreat

July 21 - July 23, 2023

Denise Hopkins

Leslie Pearlman

Picture this: You wake up to the sounds of nature and take your time meandering to a beautiful breakfast prepared just for you. No need to rush. Instead, you get to savor. You spend the morning on your yoga mat, feeling the delight of coming home to your body. The world slows down, and everything on your to-do list disappears. You have all the time in the world for pleasure, play and actually having a heartfelt conversation. By the end of the weekend, your spirit has caught up with you.Our theme for the weekend is the Summer Slowdown.What to expect:
  • Deep dive yoga classes. Expect to work hard
    •
  • Build the strength, emotional intelligence, and life skills necessary to meet life’s challenges with ease, serenity, and assuredness

MENLA RETREATS

“Deep in the Catskill Mountains exists a very special place—the Dewa Spa at Menla. On a snowy, late winter afternoon there is nothing better than a long deep soak in one of their tubs infused with the 5 Nectars bath blend. The tranquil sounds of this hidden valley can be heard through a cracked window—the Pantherkill Stream and the sweet symphony of our bird friends chattering about the upcoming spring. This is the perfect place to leave the world behind for as long as possible!”

Lisa Tucker

“I have been all over the world and this spa is by far my most favorite. The service, the facilities and the kindness is beyond my past experience. I recommend going to Menla and making the Spa your first stop every day.”

Janice L. Rous

“Homerun. One of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. Was an incredible treat especially to have so much access to Krishna Das, and I will never forget the Robert Thurman’s hysterical and insightful words. Incredibly inspiring and powerful weekend!”
