Kripalu Yoga
I am proud to be a Kripalu Yoga Teacher, continuing a tradition known as the "yoga of compassion and consciousness."

Yoga has many physical benefits including strengthening, better circulation and breathing, improved balance, lower blood pressure, fewer cravings, etc. Kripalu yoga is also about transforming and healing through the practice of yoga. Potential benefits to the individual and to our world are as unique and important as each of you. |
My job is to lead students safely
and comfortably into the experience of breath and postures.
My reward is watching students become more aware of their body energy and the connection of body to emotions. True healing and insight can occur as each person learns to control the distractions of the mind, and applies the traditional restraints and observances both on and off the yoga mat.
The Kripalu Yoga Methodology
Throughout Kripalu’s three-stage approach, you are guided to move at your own pace, honoring your body’s needs in each moment. Kripalu Yoga develops the body, mind and spirit in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. You leave the class feeling uplifted and centered. Stage 1
Willful Practice (Body and Breath Awareness)
Stage 1 begins with an experiential approach to understanding the details of alignment and the coordination of breath while moving into and out of postures.
Stage 2
Holding the Posture (Inner Focus and Concentration)
Stage 2 guides you to focus your attention on inner sensations, thoughts and emotions. You learn to hold postures for longer periods of time while cultivating compassion and awareness.
Stage 3
Meditation in Motion (Absorption)
Stage 3 is a unique and personal expression of Kripalu Yoga. You practice the art of moving in response to your body’s wisdom, with postures flowing from one into the next. This experience is often described as a state of prayer expressed in movement.
