Earth Medicine : A Katonah And Kundalini Hot Springs Retreat
With Ara Lyman, Anna Cutler and Katie Cooley
December 10 - 14, 2025
Nestled in the old-growth forests and natural hot springs of Breitenbush, Earth Medicine is an immersive retreat that brings together the wisdom of Katonah Yoga and Kundalini practice through the shared language of Ayurveda and elemental balance.
This retreat is an invitation to root into your body, awaken your inner architecture, and harmonize the subtle systems that connect breath, mind, and spirit.
Through the geometry and metaphor of Katonah Yoga®, you’ll learn to align form and function—mapping your inner landscape to find stability, perspective, and renewed potential. Each class offers a poetic framework for inhabiting your body as a home that is both personal and universal.
Through the rhythmic pulse of Kundalini kriya, meditation, and sound healing, you’ll be guided to clear stagnation, amplify prana, and reawaken your creative energy. The Ayurvedic perspective woven throughout the weekend will help you understand how elemental forces—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—shape your physical and emotional experience, and how to cultivate balance within them.
Between practices, soak in the sacred mineral waters, rest in the forest silence, and reconnect with the cyclical intelligence of nature.
This retreat is for:
- Katonah practitioners curious about the energetic and subtle body practices of Kundalini.
- Kundalini yogis ready to deepen their understanding of alignment, metaphor, and embodied structure.
- Anyone seeking renewal through the medicine of earth, ritual, and practice.
Come to root, release, and remember.
