Like most yoga styles and traditions, Kripalu Yoga uses classic asanas (though not a particular set or routine), pranayama (breathwork), development of a quiet mind, and the practice of relaxation. What defines Kripalu Yoga is its emphasis on following the flow of prana (life-force energy), practicing compassionate self-acceptance, developing witness consciousness (observing the activity of the mind without judgment), and taking what is learned “off the mat” and into daily life.
Kripalu Gentle Yoga
This practice provides all of the benefits of Kripalu Yoga but is slower-paced and gentler on the joints, so that people of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels can comfortably participate.
