Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health

Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health

(160 reviews)

I enjoyed the program I attended at Kripalu. The grounds are lovely. Nights are dark enough to…read moreenjoy star gazing. The bedrooms are minimalist: smaller than my dorm room in college and you have to make your own bed. There is the tiniest sink in bedroom, just big enough to brush your teeth, I never did get hot water from it. (Shared bathrooms.) All the instructors were welcoming and knowledgeable. A particular shoutout to the employee who helped me get back to Kripalu when I unknowingly wandered onto adjacent conservation land and lost my landmarks. The food had good flavor, local cider was nice, but the change in diet had a negative effect on my system. I would return, but I doubt that the other folks in my party would.

Ahhhh...just like heaven! This place just has the absolute best wellness center vibe. I've been…read morehere several times in the past 15 years and have enjoyed the various Yoga classes, sound therapy, healthy food and dining areas, water sports, hiking, and so many unique classes packed throughout the day, not to mention the sauna and sun room, private mediation and yoga rooms, and the accommodations. It was however unfortunate to find the removal of the whirlpool that I used many years ago in conjunction with the sauna... I hope they get this back! I spent most of my time in the Sun Room on the third floor, lounging on the extra large double couch chair in front of the wall sized windows. The silence, the occasional breeze and glorious light shining through filled the space and my being with enormous peace. As to value, it's unbeatable if you visit from open to close which includes access to everything (3 meals, all daily classes and events, grounds access, etc) for the entire day. The awesome thing about the cost is the special pricing for local residents! Can't wait to get back soon!

You may have donated a few cans of soup to Foodshare over the years, but did you know they have…read moreCommunity Service volunteer opportunities for you and your team, either in Windsor or Hartford? Our offices sent a team of 14 over to Windsor this morning and we spent three hours sorting meats and poultry donated by local supermarket chains. There were many job functions and stations necessary for us to sort through 5,950 pounds of food. When the food is donated by supermarkets, all of the different meats are stored in a Foodshare walk-in freezer in big plastic bins- so the bins were full of every sort of meat found in your supermarket's meat and poultry cases. Here is what we did: Station # 1 - Big pallets full of the bins that the frozen meats were packed were delivered to us via forklift. We opened up the bins and sorted the meat by type- beef, ground beef, poultry, pork, lamb, veal, specialty, sausage, bacon, etc. Stations # 2, 3, 4, 5, -The sorted meats went to a dedicated line where teams packaged cartons for the specific types of meats. We put a sticker on the outside of the carton (beef or poultry, etc.), inspected each package for damaged packaging, marked over the UPC with a Sharpie, put a Foodshare sticker on each package, and weighed the cartons we were creating so they clocked in between 28 and 32 pounds. When a box was completed, it was stacked on a rolling cart. Station # 6 -The rolling carts were brought over to a ten degree walk in freezer where the finished cartons were stacked by category onto pallets - 24 boxes to a pallet. Station # 7 -The bins we emptied out had to be wiped down, sanitized and restacked. It was a lot of fun to see how everyone worked together doing all of these different tasks. After a while, we were efficiently working as though we were a team that had been doing this work for 5 years. It was quite a rewarding experience. Go grab your work buddies and give it a go.

In lieu of favors at our wedding last month, Jason M. and I made a donation to Foodshare. It was a…read moreno-brainer to select this charity because they have served many families in-need in the Hartford area. Making a donation was very easy to do online. Not only did I get a thank you card, I also got a thank phone call from a representative! I felt good that my donation was very appreciated. Thus, I will continue to support Foodshare whenever I am in the financial situation to give.
