Kripalu
Welcome! This yoga is designed for anyone who wants to strengthen and open their body, mind and spirit. Kripalu will enhance your health and wellness and help you develop skills to be relaxed and grounded both on and off your mat. With a focus on alignment and breath, you will explore movement and stillness within the yoga poses. You will raise consciousness by honoring your body’s wisdom, linking each movement with the breath.
Kripalu includes:
- Opening discussion: yogic philosophy and meditation
- Pranayama practice/ breath techniques to master the breath
- Pratapana, warming the sacred fire, yogic movement to energize muscles and lubricate joints
- Stage 1 Kripalu- Focus on postural form and physical alignment
- Stage 2 Kripalu- Hold the pose, explore being still and focus on all types of sensation. Explore movements within each pose as well.
- We explore bits of Stage 3 Kripalu- Moving beyond thought into the freedom of true nature- a free flow of postures organically unfolds- the witness consciousness observes such.
- Guided relaxation/ savasana
- Closing meditation
In Kripalu Yoga we move through postures based on body wisdom rather than ego. This practice helps us to become more self-accepting, loving and trusting individuals. Simply show up on your mat, as you are, however you are feeling, without need to change a thing- this is where the journey begins. Kripalu yoga can become a part of any moment.
DJ Yoga Flow aka Yoga Trance Dance or Groove Yoga
“What is Yoga Trance Dance? Yoga and dance are two great rivers that lead us back into our bodies and rejuvenate us with prana, the vital energy of life. Yoga awakens the breath, fluidity of the spine, and inner power. Free-form trance dance cultivates natural movement, intuition, and creativity. Now, with Yoga Trance Dance you can experience the benefits of both these traditions in one energized workout. You begin with creative flow yoga, move into the depths of ecstatic dance, and complete your session with moving meditation. If you’ve been looking for a dynamic new way to enhance your range of motion, break through physical and energetic blockages, boost cardiovascular strength, and create a more positive relationship with your body, here’s the perfect class for you, Yoga Trance Dance!” -soundstrue.com
