On Campus Program

The Essential Kripalu Retreat

COMPASSION IS WHERE WE BEGIN

There is something special that happens at Kripalu—a positive energy, a nurturing feeling, a sense of connection and exploration. That special something is no accident, it is rooted in the wisdom tradition of yoga, as taught by Swami Kripalu, whose very name means compassion. Offering kindness to ourselves and to others sets the stage for compassionate self-care.

Explore what's essential in life and immerse yourself in a caring environment that supports your personal transformation. In a supportive community and beautiful space, join others as you explore

  • Kripalu Yoga, both on and off the mat
  • Meditation and mindfulness practices
  • Nature connection
  • Simple, everyday self-care routines

Come join the Kripalu community in our signature programTake a break from your day-to-day routine and find compassion through simple and empowering practices.

NOTE The content of this program is inspired by the changing seasons. Yoga, Ayurveda, and breathwork practices will be adjusted to support more balance during the warmer weather.


"Kripalu is a more than a place. It’s a feeling that stays with you long after you’ve returned home." —Program participant
