Food & Dining at Kripalu

Nourishment, the Kripalu way.

At Kripalu, food is more than fuel—it’s part of your transformation. Our meals are rooted in balance, simplicity, and joy, drawing from Ayurvedic principles and whole-food traditions. Whether you're filling your plate with vibrant veggies or cozying up to a warm grain bowl, the Kripalu Kitchen invites you to slow down and savor every bite.

Dining

For Every-Body

We know food sensitivities are real—and feeling nourished should be both supportive and easeful. To help guests make informed choices, we offer clearly labeled dishes with full ingredient lists and a variety of mindful options within our buffet-style dining experience, including:

  • A dedicated gluten-free area with gluten-free cereals, bread, miso, herbs, and wheat-free tamari
  • Vegetarian options available at every meal
  • Thoughtful preparation and transparent ingredient labeling

While we offer dedicated options and clear ingredient labeling, Kripalu is not a gluten-free facility, and guests are encouraged to review ingredients and connect with our Dining team to ensure their individual needs are supported.

Silent Starts

Sometimes nourishment looks like stillness.
