What does the $350 tuition cover, and what else do I have to pay for?

Tuition is $350 per person and does not include accommodations, which are required. The minimum accommodation rate is $109 per night on weekdays and $129 on weekends. Your stay includes three meals a day, 10+ daily yoga classes, and access to the Kripalu grounds. Healing Arts sessions and items from the Kripalu Shop and Cafe cost extra.

What does the daily schedule look like, and are there any silent parts?

Days typically start with a Kripalu Yoga class, followed by a silent breakfast and program sessions in the morning and afternoon. Evenings bring another yoga class, dinner, and a final session, and one evening session is listed as a dance party. Kripalu notes that times and room locations can vary, so check the Guest Boards or the schedule you receive at check-in.

How do I book Moving Through Stillness, and what if it's full?

Use the Book Now (1 Adult) or Book Now (2 Adults) button on the Kripalu program page, since online booking covers one or two guests. If the program is full, you can join the waitlist or email registration@kripalu.org. Kripalu contacts waitlisted people in the order received if space opens up.

説明

Moving Through Stillness is a restorative weekend yoga retreat at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, led by Sandrine Harris. It brings together somatic meditation, guided movement and quiet writing to help you ease stress and close out the year with a settled body and a peaceful heart. It is open to all adults who want a gentler way to cross into the new year.

What to Expect

The turning of the year invites a look inward, and this retreat gives that looking time and space. Over the weekend you move between several meditative and contemplative practices, guided movement and body-centered work, and periods of writing and reflection. A guided somatic awareness process lets the language of the body speak, so you can find meaning in the year that is ending and meet yourself with tenderness. There is also a compassionate community in which to share what you are learning.

The days follow the usual Kripalu rhythm. The weekend begins on a Friday with check-in from 2:00 pm, a Kripalu Yoga class, dinner, and an evening program session from 7:30 to 9:00 pm. On the full days, Kripalu Yoga starts at 6:30 am, followed by a silent breakfast. Program sessions run from 9:00 to 11:30 am and again from 1:30 to 4:00 pm, with lunch between them. After an afternoon yoga class and dinner, a short evening session from 7:15 to 8:15 pm includes a dance party. On Monday morning there is yoga, silent breakfast and a final session from 9:00 to 11:00 am, then lunch and departure. Actual times may vary, and the schedule you receive at check-in has the details and room locations.

About Sandrine Harris

The Setting

Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health sits in Stockbridge, in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, and is known for yoga, spirituality and ancient wisdom programs. Accommodations are intentionally simple, designed to help you unplug and feel grounded. You can choose a private room or a community-style dorm if you would like more connection with other participants. Rooms are ready by 4:00 pm, and a luggage room is available if you arrive earlier. Check-out on the last day is at 10:00 am, though you may stay on campus and take part in workshops until 2:00 pm.

Three nutritious meals a day, more than ten yoga and movement classes over the stay, and access to the Kripalu grounds are part of the experience. Healing Arts sessions and purchases from the Kripalu Shop and Cafe are extra.

Before You Go
