Annual New Year's Yoga and Meditation Retreat

Following the age-old tradition of taking time at the end of the year to reflect and set intentions for the upcoming cycle, we are offering this unique opportunity to come together at Tibet House's breathtaking Menla Mountain Retreat in the heart of the Catskills for a quiet, inspiring, and reinvigorating New Year's weekend.

Join Carolyn Christie, Brooke Myers and John Lundin at Menla Mountain for our third annual New Year’s Retreat!

The weekend’s programs will include Iyengar yoga, pranayama, meditation, and dharma talks.
