Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge is a premier nonprofit retreat destination on a historic 125-acre campus once home to the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans and featuring the grand Shadowbrook, a former Jesuit seminary built atop Andrew Carnegie’s Gilded Age estate that opened in 1983 after evolving from an ashram founded in 1970 by Amrit Desai to honor Swami Kripalu’s teachings of compassion and self-inquiry. Renowned for its transformative yoga, Ayurveda, mindfulness, and holistic wellness programs, Kripalu welcomes nearly 40,000 guests annually through immersive retreats, teacher trainings, RISE stress-resilience workshops, scholarship-supported experiences, and eco-conscious facilities like the energy-efficient Annex. Kripalu fosters self-discovery, renewal, and community in the serene Berkshires.
