Details of this retreat

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.

Amazing experience!

I had the opportunity to spend last weekend at Menla, and it was truly an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff and facilitators were kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to creating a peaceful and supportive environment.

The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to disconnect from everyday stress and reconnect with yourself. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was EXCELLENT , and every detail seemed thoughtfully planned.

Everyone I met,from the staff to the other guests,helped create a warm and uplifting atmosphere. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful for the experience.

I highly recommend Menla to anyone looking for a place to relax, reflect, heal, and reconnect. Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so memorable. I can’t wait to come back!

Living magic

The land, people and community, nature, food, dance, breath work, spa , and so much more! I can’t believe I get to be alive and experience magic and peace like this in these chaotic moments in the world.

Impeccable kitchen...beautiful surroundings

The lovely girl who cleaned my room, Amy, literally MADE my entire trip. She was so kind.
The scenery is magnificent, the landscape supreme, the food was AMAZING, cleanliness was top notch.
Everybody at Menla was extremely helpful and nice, with the exception of one person who shall remain nameless.
