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
    •
  • Roll and release using therapy balls to uncover your body's blind spots and tension in your neck, shoulders, hips, and back

MENLA RETREATS

“The Menla Cleanse Getaway was the most peaceful, knowledgeable and supportive environment I have ever experienced for my annual detox. The juices and raw food were creatively prepared and delicious, and the staff was caring and unobtrusive. Being supported by the gorgeous sacred land, a stunning new spa and many wise healers facilitated profound renewal for me on all levels. I am filled with gratitude for Chisti and her team, and I will definitely return!”

Kara S

“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!”
