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.

The Best

Menla is the best; Reminds me of what Kirpalu was like decades ago - It was like being at home in nature. Peaceful. The food was the best too. Just wonderful. I know I will be back. Thank you for a singular experience : )

Great positive journey toward wholeness

My experience with the workshop, “ The Myth and Mystery of Sacred Geometry and the Healing Nature of Mandalas: A Holotropic Breathwork Workshop” was far beyond any expectations I brought to Menla. The 3 presenters were exemplary in clarity, humanity, warmth, and knowledge. There was a lot of healing in evidence, personal growth stories shared by other participants also cited insight, change, support, and shifts toward higher degrees of health and understanding. It was a big deal for me.

The Menla center was a great beautiful place to stay during this adventure, nourished by delicious meals and the glorious first blush of Springtime in the Catskill Mountains.

Invigorating experience

Equinox Embodied was an amazing retreat. The yoga and Pilates classes were well executed and the yoga nidra and sound baths were so relaxing . The retreat was filled with thoughtful surprises and close attention to details. The magic of Menla enhanced the experience. I went home feeling rejuvenated and invigorated. Thank you Kim and Whitney!

Beautiful Retreat

Menla’s grounds are truly special, tucked into the gorgeous Catskill mountains, you truly cannot beat the location. There is a pond, a creek, hiking trails and multiple places to explore. I felt such peace joining this retreat between the beautiful itinerary and the space it was held. Highly recommend a retreat at Menla.

Equinox embodied retreat

I loved my time at menla while attending my retreat. The space is so beautiful and all of the staff is so kind. I also really enjoyed the spa where I was able to get a massage. My room was beautiful as well. I would love to come and stay here again.
