Kripalu Yoga class at Yoga Haven in Knoxville, TN off to a great start!

We had a great showing for the moderate Kripalu Yoga class at Yoga Haven in Knoxville, TN last night. I’ll add more classes there over the coming weeks.

The class started with an introduction to Kripalu Yoga, followed by a centering, then pratapana or warmups, and a slow vinyasa punctuated by holding poses modeled around the surya namaskar (sun salutation).

After a few backbends (bridge and fish) was a meditation-in-motion period of free movement, then a nice long deep relaxation, integration through nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), a sitting meditation, and a few nices big OMs to finish it off right.

Thanks to everyone who came, and if you missed it, please come next week. We’ll work on the moon salutation, or chandra namaskar. And in following weeks we’ll target specific energy centers in the body.

Important: We’re changing the time to 7:15 to coordinate with the class downstairs. That way we won’t be talking and making noise while they’re still in relaxation.
