A Yin Yoga and Meditation Retreat: Coming Home to Love

Join us for a transformative weekend as we return to the heart of love through yin yoga and meditation. A Yin Yoga and Meditation Retreat: Coming Home to Love invites you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself in the serene Berkshire Mountains. Taking place Friday, October 16, 2026, at the renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, MA, this intimate retreat blends restorative yin practices with guided meditation and the ancient wisdom of qigong to awaken inner peace and cultivate compassion.

Led by renowned qigong teacher and practitioner Daisy Lee, this yin event in Stockbridge creates a sanctuary where you can release what no longer serves you and embrace a deeper sense of belonging—to yourself, to others, and to love itself. Whether you're seeking stress relief, spiritual growth, or simply permission to pause, this retreat offers the perfect container for healing and self-discovery. The gentle, nourishing pace of yin allows your body and mind to settle into the restorative practices that modern life rarely provides.

What to Expect

Your journey begins the moment you arrive at Kripalu's peaceful campus. You'll settle into comfortable, intentional spaces designed for deep relaxation as you meet fellow seekers and prepare to let go of the outside world. The retreat flows like a gentle river—moving from grounding opening circles into long-held yin yoga poses that target connective tissues, fascia, and energy meridians, followed by guided meditation and breathwork that quiet the mind and open the heart.

Each day unfolds with a rhythm of practice, reflection, and restoration. Morning sessions invite you to move slowly through supported poses, staying in each posture for several minutes to allow deep release and introspection. Afternoons feature teachings from Daisy Lee on qigong principles and how to carry mindfulness into daily life. Evenings wind down with restorative meditation, journaling circles, and community connection. You'll leave with both tangible tools and an embodied understanding of what "coming home to love" means for you.
