Autumn Iyengar Yoga Retreat
With Rebecca Hooper
November 5 - 9, 2025
The Refuge of Practice:
Take refuge in your practice, in the halcyon grounds and environs of Menla, a nature preserve in the heart of the Catskill Mountains.
While soaking in the practices of asana and pranayama, and exploring the inherent bandhas, mudras, kriyas and dharanas, we will delve into the heart of the practice of yoga. Yoga is the cessation of movements in consciousness. Practice is the steadfast effort to still these fluctuations.
An immersive 5 days of inspiration and restoration to revitalize and clarify the way of our lives.
