Only an hour north of New York, this is where manyof the city’s popular yoga teachers, such as Jivamukti’s Sharon Gannon and David Life, hold court. Dharma Mittra (the yogi known best for taking photos of himself doing every yoga pose) will host a chanting-yoga-meditation retreat with kirtan-celebrity Krishna Das in April. Retreat registrants can also sign up for music, dance, and Sanskrit classes when they are there or book an Ayurvedic facial and massage. Even though there’s a strict no-alcohol policy (sorry, no Sancerre after that shavasana), the vibe at Ananda is fairly mellow. Morning meditation doesn’t begin until nine, and coffee is served.
