Sara Beck

Sara Beck is a yoga teacher, writer, mama, and owner of Catskills Yoga House. She became devoted to yoga over twenty years ago when after years as a competitive athlete she realized her body needed to be given a new kind of attention and care. Her subsequent formal and informal studies of yoga including Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Kundalini yoga as well as her practices of meditation and reiki energy work have brought a level of spaciousness and ease to her life that she never thought possible. A yoga instructor for over ten years, Sara teaches with warmth and humor in a vinyasa style that is rooted in conscious breath and choreographed with alignment in mind. It is her desire to help students tune in to and honor the unique dialogue within their own bodies and minds - that whispering communication between breath, movement, and stillness – and to discover the lightness and balance by which she herself was so transformed.

“I have traveled personally and professionally to Spas around the world. Menla is unique and world class in its substantial healing modalities, exquisite hiking, and breathtaking temple-like environment. This is a “ jewel “ of a spa retreat nestled in the mountains … a real find!”

Terre Blair Hamlisch

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

“Menla is indeed magical, a place out of time that is rich in presence. The vibrational quality of this sanctuary is palpable as well as the magnificent natural beauty. Healing, peaceful and luminous with Light, a pilgrimage to Menla evokes the proverbial Medicine Mountain, and yet it is so close to NYC. Our Ayurvedic massage and experience at Dewa Spa was transporting, regenerative and deeply nourishing. Looking forward to our next retreat here and sharing this treasure with friends.”
