Come As You Are

Experience the Kripalu Gentle Yoga approach during this immersive weekend retreat. The Kripalu Gentle Yoga practice is an invitation to discover skillful, compassionate ways to meet yourself where you are each day. Together, we’ll explore what is available in your body right now, cultivating curiosity, kindness, and trust in your lived experience.

You’ll learn how to find the sweet spot in your practice: where effort is balanced with ease, where poses are not too much and not too little, and where the pace is neither too fast nor too slow. Through gentle exploration, you’ll discover that your practice is rich with options—offering a variety of opportunities to move with care, listen deeply, and create greater ease and resilience in your body.

Kripalu Gentle Yoga is a meditation-deepening practice. Swami Kripalu taught, “Meditation is integral to yoga . . . If there is no meditation, it cannot be called yoga.” In this immersion, yoga becomes a living meditation—one that invites you to witness your inner experience while moving, breathing, and resting with awareness. This approach supports practitioners in all seasons of life and across all levels of flexibility and strength, offering compassion, encouragement, and respect for individual needs.

In this retreat, you will:

• Experience pathways to renewed vitality and sparkling aliveness.
• Return to daily life with a clearer sense of what is possible in your yoga practice.
• Connect with the rich lineage of Kripalu Yoga as a practice of compassion, encouragement, and being fully yourself.
