I recently returned for another wonderful stay at Kripalu, in an R&R stay. My room as expected was…read moreclean and comfortable. I booked two services in the healing arts a Therapeutic Massage and a Chinese Astrology reading. My masseuse was wonderful at helping my begin the process of releasing all the tense muscles in my lower back and neck after a recent flare up of my chronic pain condition due to an existing spinal injury. They were careful and checked in with my along the way about pressure and comfort in the process. I felt very comfortable throughout and though I left sore (which I expect when working out the tense muscles after a flare) I felt more functional and saw a decrease in movement pain shortly after. I have had encounters with the astrologer on staff in my past visits to Kripalu once in leading a workshop on Chinese Astrology and another on a shamanic full moon ceremony. I felt that the reading and insight Beth provided was very accurate to what has framed me in my life where I've been and a bit of where I'm going. I would definitely recommend adding on a few things if time and budget allows. They truly made the experience better. As always, the food was exceptional and I found plenty of options in the schedule for movement practices, new learning opportunities as well as plenty of cozy corners and spaces to relax and do what feels best for you. They have plenty of options for books, games and puzzles to entertain you. I am also a huge fan of walking through their onsite store and left with a few new goodies to commemorate the trip. I am forever grateful for to Kripalu and their staff after every visit for always leaving feeling like I've been taken care of for a few days. I cannot wait for my next trip out.

I just returned from a stay at Kripalu (early) because I believe I got food poisoning from their…read morefood. I had been there several times before and never felt this way but I immediately got sick after eating dinner there last night. I was so sick that I had to go home today and I was not able to participate in any activities because I felt so sick. On top of this, the woman at the front desk had absolutely zero empathy when I told her my story and advised me to just fill out the post-evaluation survey when I got it. Kripalu has a lot of great qualities about it BUT they have to acknowledge their insufficiencies. They seem to have the mindset that people should feel grateful to just be able to go there. That attitude doesn't fly anymore.

Had a visit with Karden a few weeks ago for persistent knee and foot pain…read more I did not get help with either, instead the visit went in an unusual way. Karden explained that in his opinion many chronic aches and pains were tied to unresolved past trauma. Here's the thing: I'm sure there something to what he's saying and Karden and he feels very strongly about this because he has experienced it for himself. Perhaps a deep dive in past trauma gains relief for some folks with chronic pain. After feeling my knee and foot he declared that there was nothing wrong with either. After leaving his office the pain continued. Thankfully was able to visit my former PT at Berkshire Physical Therapy and Wellness where I would have gone first had I been able to get an earlier appointment. My knee healed on its but was aggravated and as for my foot, it is a mechanical issue based on the way of walk plus recent weight gain that exacerbated it. The PT offered me clear cut ways to help resolve the issues and they are working! I think Karden means well but now that he's a "believer" in past trauma he seems to view other people's problems through the same lense, and in my case completely missed the mark. It's too bad because it was an extremely expensive visit and I feel it was money wasted. I would strongly hesitate to recommend this place.
