Kripalu

     This past weekend I went with five other women to Kripalu which is a yoga retreat center in the Berkshires. I have not practiced yoga, but an opportunity presented itself and since I try to be open to life's possibilities off I went. The weekend for our little group was sponsored by the Cancer Community Renewal Project. We took part in the Women's Radiant Health program led by Sudha Lundeen  (pictured 2nd from the right).

     I was amazed at how large the facility was and just how many people from all over come to the center. There was a woman in our program who had come from Spain to visit Kripalu.
     Shortly after arriving on Friday afternoon, I attended a yoga class for beginners which easily had over 125 participants. Mind you, this was only one of of a number of yoga classes and programs going on at that time.
     At first I must confess I felt totally out of place and wondered just what the heck I was doing there,  but I gradually warmed to the experience. The food was very good and healthy and the people friendly and calm. All in all, it proved to be a very interesting experience.
