Moderate Kripalu Yoga | Kripalu Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, and Nia classes and private lessons in Knoxville, TN
Prepare to move and sweat!
Kripalu literally means “compassion,” so this Hatha style is often called the “yoga of compassion.” Through a conscious, inward journey, you may experience yourself in a way you never have, opening up to compassion for yourself and others.
In Kripalu Yoga, we focus not only on the alignment and movement of the physical body and the breath, but also on the movement of energy in thoughts, emotions and witness consciousness.
What is the moderate class like? We warm up the body, sometimes through repetition of pratapana (warm-ups) and sometimes through a slow flow of poses. Next we practice holding postures (asana), exploring the postures with small movements or releasing the external form of the posture altogether to experience the body’s natural creative energy.
Asana is followed by relaxation, pranayama (techniques for breathing), and meditation.
Come prepared to move, chant, meditate and enjoy the present moment in the company of fellow seekers.
