How does Kripalu Yoga work

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Regular Classes: Classes begin with centering, releasing the neck and spine.

Most back pain is caused by poor posture, faulty body mechanics and weak back musculature, which are the result of a lifetime of habits formed as we go about our daily routine. Most of what we do is in front of us; therefore we develop tightness in areas that pull us backward.

Correcting posture, following good body mechanics and strengthening your back with Yoga can eliminate back pain.

All classes include “ warm ups “ followed by Asanas (yoga postures). Time is also given to Pranayama (breathing) before savasana (relaxation) and meditation.
