Iyengar Yoga Autumn Retreat
With Rebecca Hooper
October 20 - 25, 2026
Retreat from the worldly gravities and let yourself settle in the halcyon environment of Menla, a spiritual hermitage and spa in the middle of the Catskills Forest Preserve.
We will soak in the sacred practices of Asana, Pranayama and seated meditation, take refuge in the philosophy and practice of Yoga, and immerse ourselves in the golden light of wisdom that is the trees, rivers and mountains of Menla in the Autumn.
