U.S. Yoga Retreats and Workshops

You don't need to leave the United States to rejuvenate

There are many yoga magazines which list an index of yoga retreats, ashrams and yogic vacations in the US. Most listings have website addresses and brief descriptions.

One of the more well known center's, in my large circle of yoga teacher friends, is the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, based in Lenox, Massachusetts. The Center sits on a 300 acre rural property, in the Berkshire Mountains and has proven to be the grandmother of centers, with over 25 years of year-round programming tucked in it's tights. The food is great. The programs are high quality. And relaxation is a given. Everyone returns blissed out and yoga stimulated.

California is another yoga hot spot, as is Hawaii. I have friends that frequent both states. All you seasonally frozen yogi's may want to double dip your pleasure by adding climatic warmth with your yoga retreat destination. Ask your classmates for their retreat suggestions.

No matter where you live or where you want to go in the U.S., you should be able to find a retreat that suits your pocket book and geographic location. Besides buying a copy of Yoga Journal and visiting our bookstore, check your local health food store bulletin board, the yellow pages or the world wide web.
