Anusara, Catskills
Strike a pose at one of our five picks for Spring 2003 yoga retreats.

From the March 24, 2003 Issue of New York

Some of New York's most popular instructors also run their own upstate retreats. Anusara teachers Jackie Prete and Joe Palese offer yoga weekends at Dai Bosatsu Zendo, in Livingston Manor, New York (upcoming weekends are scheduled in May, July, and October). The mountaintop programs include two yoga classes daily, evening activities that often incorporate meditation and partner-massage instruction, and lots of free time to swim or hike.
