About Kripalu

It's Transforming Yourself, and Then the World



For five decades, the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health has been a leader in yoga- and mindfulness-based education. We offer an extensive variety of programs and workshops both online and on our campus, which is located on 100 breathtaking acres in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. We’re also renowned for our healing arts experiences, our beloved staff, and our delicious all-natural meals.

It’s all yoga. More than just poses on a mat, we believe yoga is an accessible practice that inspires connection, compassion, and joy. Like yoga itself, Kripalu is something much more than its physical manifestation. It is a way of life—a powerful source of transformative wisdom and practice for communities.
