Kripalu

I’ve been home for a week now from a 3 day yoga retreat.
It’s been difficult to integrate back into the routine of blogging every day.
I’m going to give it a start with trying to describe my experience.
Every day, I’ll share a story, until all of it is out of me.
There’s also a change to the categories. Body, is now Body/Mind/Spirit.

The yoga retreat was facilitated by Kripalu, Center for Yoga and Health, located in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

“Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to empowering people and communities to realize their full potential through the transformative wisdom and practice of yoga.
