The Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts is closing for six weeks due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

In a statement on its website, the center says it will cancel all events starting Friday and close its campus until April 24th.

Kripalu, originally built as a Jesuit seminary in 1957, sits on a hillside overlooking the Stockbridge Bowl. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the Berkshires annually.
