Yoga Getaway for Memorial Day

3-day weekend

There are no dates currently scheduled.

Take a weekend getaway that will leave you feeling physically rejuvenated and mentally “awake and ready” for the coming of summer. There’s no better vacation than one that helps you change your pace and refresh your inner resources.

At your Yoga Getaway weekend you will use yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, as well as principles of Ayurveda, to find the balance, harmony, and strength you need to meet the challenges of life with joy and a sense of empowerment.

Ayurveda is an ancient science that teaches us how to work with different energies within ourselves, as well as within the seasons of the year. Understanding your Ayurvedic constitution can help you consistently maintain your physical health and mental well-being.

Guest responses to the weekend:

"I loved all of Melody’s classes. Mangala’s Ayurveda class was a perfect intro to a field that I will definitely learn more about, thanks to her insightful presentation and jovial personality. Melody’s classes were all so beautiful, therapeutic, informative (yet informal), fun, energizing, yet calming. She is extremely talented at what she does and makes everyone feel at home at Ananda. Thank you so much to the Kitchen for all of the Vegan options. I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate how incredibly accommodating everyone was in every way. Thank you times infinity!"

"Excited to return. The grounds are beautiful. Staff very helpful. Instructors knowledgeable. So nice to meet people from all over the U.S. with like views." Laurie, Sacramento CA

Yoga Getaway for Memorial Day starts the afternoon of the first date listed. It’s ideal to arrive before 4 pm, if you are able to. That way, you can join in the afternoon session of yoga and meditation, which begins at 4:45 pm. Dinner is at 6:30. The first real gathering of your group is at 7:30 pm. If you need to arrive here after 5 pm, that’s fine, but it helps us if you let us know at 800-346-5350. We can also put aside a dinner for you if you need to arrive after 7 pm. The program ends with lunch on the last date. Please see our Daily Schedule.
