Kripalu Retreat & Renewal
A Healing Self-Guided Experience
The Kripalu R&R experience—our signature retreat—allows you the freedom to choose what you need while you’re here. Maybe it’s a full schedule of yoga classes, healing arts, and outdoor activities like hiking and snowshoeing. Maybe you’re craving a lot of free time for reflection and rest. Whatever path you take, you’ll enjoy delicious healthy meals from the Kripalu Kitchen and the support and care of our beloved faculty. Let the transformative healing begin!
Note The R&R experience begins at 2:00 pm on your arrival day and ends at 2:00 pm on your departure day (room check-out ends at 10:00 am). There are no Saturday arrivals or departures for overnight stays.
