Kripalu Yoga is a gentle approach that is an accessible practice designed to adapt to all body types, ages, and fitness levels. Kripalu means 'compassion', and the practice cultivates non-judgmental awareness, linking breath with mindful movement. Students are encouraged to trust and meet the inner needs and wisdoms of their bodies through gentle exploration and attunement to their inner experience and practice at a pace that feels true & authentic in the present moment.
