This is a meditative yoga practice that focuses on acceptance and learning from your body. Kripalu yoga was founded by Amrit Desai in the 1980’s, who named it after his teacher in India, Sri Kripalvananda. Kripalu focuses on awareness of your body in different forms, and changing those poses while being aware of how your body changes as you move into a new pose. This change is followed by a period of meditation to heighten awareness.
