Retreats
YOGA AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS returns to Kripalu in 2010!
December 26-31, $325 plus room, book online at www.kripalu.org
After a packed New Year's retreat in 2009, Kripalu has invited Sam to return to the Berkshires at the end of 2010 to delve again into the essential question of our happiness and how we can draw inspiration for our exploration from the traditions of yoga and mindfulness. If you always find yourself looking for a chance to step away from the city, or step into the new year with intention, this is the retreat for you!
For millennia, philosophers and poets from every culture have been fascinated by the pursuit of happiness. Both Aristotle and the Dalai Lama have called happiness our most fundamental human desire, and its pursuit is written into the Declaration of Independence. Every day, millions of people step onto yoga mats or sit on meditation cushions hoping their practice will make them happier.
What exactly is happiness? How do we find it and why do we so often miss out? Can yoga help us discover a personal path that will guide us there? Delve into these essential questions in a yoga retreat that explores the pursuit of happiness, utilizing the Buddha’s wisdom, contemporary scientific research, and everything in between.
Through daily yoga, meditation, and mindfulness exercises, you will discover insights that lead to powerful and surprising implications for your life, and learn to use these discoveries to create a personalized practice dedicated to your unique pursuit of happiness. With a special focus on tools for turning resolutions into actions, this holiday retreat will send you home recharged and ready for the New Year.
"Happy doesn't even come close to summing up my experience... the practices felt great, the teachings were fantastic, and at the end of each day I genuinely felt like a better person." --Nick, after winter retreat at Kripalu

EXHALE STUDIOS: INSIDE/OUT TEACHER TRAINING
September 25, 2010 - February 11, 2011
"The first day of teacher training, my biggest fear was that I would love yoga so much that it would change everything. I was warned that it might just happen, and of course, it did... Thank you for shaking the ground I walk on. I have learned so much about myself through this training, and I can't thank you enough for it. I have grown to love yoga and to understand where I want to go in life. I will never forget this time!"
