A Harmonious Blend

Immerse yourself in the transformative power of yoga and classical music during a weekend of deep nourishment and inspiration in the cultural heart of the Berkshires. This unique Kripalu-Tanglewood collaboration, led by renowned mindfulness and yoga educator Larissa Hall Carlson, offers a harmonious blend of contemplative practices and exquisite music.

With nearly two decades of experience teaching elite musicians—including faculty and fellows from Juilliard, Boston Conservatory, Tanglewood Music Center, Nashville Ballet, Cleveland Institute of Music, Western Illinois School of Music, and more—Larissa expertly guides participants in exploring the profound parallels between the disciplines of yoga and classical music.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy:

• Gentle and mindful yoga sessions with classical music in the background
• Pranayama and meditation practices to boost inner rhythm and harmony
• Guided deep listening to selections from the weekend’s BSO concerts
• Insightful reflections on rhythm, breath, and embodiment

On Saturday evening, we’ll attend the Boston Symphony Orchestra concert at Tanglewood (located just across the road from Kripalu), with optional attendance at the Sunday afternoon concert. You’ll gain tools to listen more mindfully, with greater presence and appreciation for the nuances of live orchestral performance.

This program is open to all. No prior musical or yoga experience required—just a love for classical music and mindful movement.

Come for a musical weekend of artistic awakening and embodied presence, and leave with a renewed sense of joy, clarity, and connection.

NOTE: Composer details will be announced in early 2026.

NOTE: Please purchase your Tanglewood concert tickets in advance. Tanglewood tickets are not included in Kripalu program price. You may choose Shed seating or bring a blanket for the lawn. We’ll walk to the performance together as a group (approximately 20 minutes), though you’re welcome to drive if preferred.
