What is Kripalu Yoga?

Kripalu Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that emphasizes meditation, physical healing, and spiritual transformation. The practice focuses on looking inward and listening to your body. This allows you to work at your own pace in a nonjudgmental and compassionate setting. Unlike more rigorous styles, Kripalu Yoga is characterized by its gentle and meditative approach. This makes it accessible to practitioners of all ages and fitness levels.

He believed it is a gateway to deepening self-awareness and developing a harmonious relationship with oneself and the world. His teachings form the bedrock of Kripalu Yoga, encouraging personal growth and mindful living.
