Kripalu yoga is about stretching, strengthening, balancing and releasing chronic
tension, all of which helps to restore vitality. This is accomplished through standard
yoga poses (called asanas), as well as breathing exercises (called pranayama.)
What makes Kripalu yoga different is its emphasis on developing awareness of body
sensations. With this awareness and sense of curiosity and self-compassion,
students learn to customize their practice to meet the individual needs of their own
body.
It’s not about whipping the body into shape or getting it to conform to some
standard. It’s about really listening to what your body needs and responding in a
kind and nurturing way.
There’s so much to discover when you start listening deeply to your body.
I love teaching people how to do this!
