Rooted, Relaxed, and Radiant: A Yoga, Meditation, and Nature Retreat

For all levels.

Yogis believe the seat of wisdom is in the heart center, not the head. Through the practices of yoga and meditation, and by synchronizing your body and mind with nature, you grow more grounded and relaxed. The body revitalizes and the mind quiets, becoming more receptive. As you move into this relaxed state, compassion, intuition, and creativity flow more easily, and the heart blooms wide open. When you practice in this way, you grow rooted and radiant, just like the summer flowers.

Offered in the beauty of Kripalu’s natural environment, this weekend retreat provides the perfect combination of yoga, meditation, and time in nature to leave you centered in your heart. Jillian Pransky weaves slow flow vinyasa, restorative poses, mindfulness, and walking meditations under the wide-open sky to leave you grounded, expansive, and with a deeper connection to yourself and the world.

Recommended listening Jillian Pransky, Relaxmore (CD).

Note Come prepared for outdoor time each day. Bring good walking shoes or boots, a journal, and a small altar item such as a photo, nature item, or religious or spiritual relic, to create a personal practice space that is inspiring and uplifting.
