A Katonah Yoga®Retreat
SPRING
April 29-May 2, 2027
Katonah Yoga Spring Retreat
Join Cari on Thursday April 29th - Sunday, May 2, 2027 at Groundworks retreat space, nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of the Shawangunk Mountain ridge, just two hours outside of the city.
Groundworks has become our refuge — the place we return to each spring. With its expansive land and stunning airy shala, delicious and abundant local food lovingly prepared on site, and peaceful time to relax in the sauna or jacuzzi, I look forward to welcoming you to this nourishing and fulfilling environment. In community with others we will move through embodiment practices using Katonah Yoga’s material — offering tools and techniques as we begin to steep in the energy of spring.
We begin each morning with creative practices and meditation, followed by yoga in the morning and afternoon. Share meals in the company of fabulous humans — and everything in between is your choice! Hiking, wine tasting, driving into local towns and even exploring the famous ‘Insook.’ Leave with a well fed spirit and a heart full of joy.
Groundworks: Lodging & Accommodations
Groundworks offers a serene retreat nestled on 35 acres, boasting breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Ridge. This haven is designed for relaxation, focus, and creativity, providing a medley of activities to engage with the natural beauty of the surroundings. Guests can meander along walking trails, indulge in a peaceful meditation walk, unwind in gazebos, or luxuriate in hammocks with a book. The property features several spots to savor the sunset, including a deck, and multiple fire pits for nocturnal relaxation and stargazing.
The centerpiece is a renovated net-zero studio, formerly a garage, now a radiant 1200 sq. ft hall with a responsive sprung wood dance floor. It includes a fully equipped kitchen and one and a half bathrooms. The main residence, where hosts Kristen and Frank live, is a welcoming farmhouse with five bedrooms. It's a space shared with guests, offering home-cooked meals in a large kitchen, dining room, and a living room with a large fireplace. The comforts extend outdoors with a spacious deck, a fire pit, a hot tub and sauna!
An apartment perched above the stables provides stunning ridge views, accommodating 4-6 people with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchenette. Dining at Groundworks is a culinary delight with health-conscious, vegetable-centric dishes prepared from the freshest local produce, including organic garden offerings and eggs from the property's free-range chickens.
Please note:
Room & board portions for the cost of this retreat will go towards Groundworks primary goal: to provide free-of-cost residencies supporting people such as artists and activists who are working on projects that they value. It is of great purpose to know that we can partner in providing this support for their mission.
