Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health

Wellness Retreat · Stockbridge, Massachusetts

The largest yoga-based retreat centre in North America, in a former Jesuit novitiate on a hillside above the Stockbridge Bowl, immediately next door to Tanglewood. It is a non-profit rather than a resort, and the difference is the point: some rooms have shared bathrooms, breakfast is taken in silence, there is no alcohol and no television, and the programme runs from before dawn. People come for a weekend R and R retreat or a week-long training, and day passes exist for anyone who wants to try it.

57 Interlaken Road, Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 01262, United States

Open year round. Programmes run from day passes through two-night R and R retreats to week-long trainings, with accommodation, all meals and the entire daily class schedule included. Accommodation tiers range from dormitory and shared-bathroom rooms to private en-suite. NO ALCOHOL is served or permitted; breakfast is taken in silence. Not suitable for young children. FREE parking; a car is realistically necessary. Book well ahead in the Tanglewood season.
