Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health

"Kripalu is a magical place if you just let yourself immerse in all that’s around you! I was fortunate enough to be apart of the mindful masculinity programs and was it life changing. The staff, the teachers and the people who might have been on another journey than ours were so welcoming."

"This place honestly feels like summer camp for adults. I meditated, did yoga, danced, and made a lot of friends in the process. The food and accommodation are suitable, but nothing special. The staff (Michelle and Chris = goats), the dance classes, and the views were all spectacular. I definitely hope to come back soon."

"I went for some R&R for my birthday in late May and had such a rejuvenating experience. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and ayurvedic options. There were plenty of class options for mind, body and spirit. I really enjoyed the digital detox and that most others were respectful and did the same. The yoga classes were wonderful and the teachers were great at making sure that everyone felt comfortable doing only what felt good. All in all, it was exactly what I needed and look forward to going again."

"I treated myself to an R & R Retreat for Mother's Day weekend. I arrived on Friday at 2p and my room was not ready. The gentleman that checked me in was very nice and did his best to assure me that my room was being prepared. Him and another representative encouraged me to walk around and directed me to explore. After a 4 hour drive, i just wanted to settle in and lay down. An hour and a half later my room was ready. To say the least i was irritated. In my opinion, the food was subpar. So Friday i went to bed hungry. Saturday, breakfast was good. You really can't mess breakfast up. Lunch on Saturday was just , eh... and Saturday for dinner, i didn't even bother to go to the dining hall. I was supposed to stay for four days and leave on Tues. I woke up Sunday morning, packed my things and left before 7:30a. I stayed in the Annex. My private room was perfect for one person. Just know there is no AC or TV. I paid for Introduction to Ayurveda. I went Friday night and i enjoyed the class. I did not attend Saturday's classes and i left early Sunday morning and didn't attend that class. Because i left 2 days early, i have over $1000.00 credit. So i will absolutely use it and hope for a better experience."

"The stars: The location, the hikes, and all yoga teachers I had were amazing! The food was good (most items needed added salt), plenty, and clean dining halls. Plenty of classes to choose from and to keep busy. The minuses: The front staff (at least the ones I encountered) were not knowledgeable on the programs and correct info. Also not helpful when I told them about my hot water wasn’t working and other issues I had. The website booking confirmation lacked the info about my room not having a private bathroom and therefore I was charged an additional $480 for 3 nights upon arrival! I did bring it up and was told to write it on a comment letter which I did. Bottom line I think If you are alone and looking for an intimate and more personal experience with your R and R this is not for you since this is a huge school like complex (as someone else mentioned on the reviews) However, if you are with a friend or a group and want to take some time off and do some yoga and hikes this would be a great time. If I go again I would not stay there, I would just take a day pass to enjoy the classes."
