About Kripalu Yoga

Kripalu was formed in 1966 to promote yoga and uplift the physical, mental, and spiritual well being of individuals. For more that 40 years, Kripalu has remained a place where people come together to inquire deeply into the core issues of life, explore new and healthier ways of being, and put inspiration into practice.

Kripalu’s mission remains teaching the art and science of yoga, an approach consistently proven to uplift individuals and benefit society. The techniques of yoga integrate body, mind and spirit, helping both individuals and groups flourish and perform at peak levels.

While grounded in yoga, it is important to understand that Kripalu does not espouse a narrow or sectarian mindset. According to the Kripalu tradition, yoga is an honest and unfettered inquiry into all practices, philosophies, techniques, and approaches that produce thriving for individuals, families, communities, societies, and the planet.

This non-denominational yoga includes perennial wisdom gleaned from all the world’s religions and spiritual traditions, together with the amazing knowledge gained from science, psychology, and contemporary researchers. It also includes healing techniques drawn from traditional, allopathic, and complementary/alternative medicine that help individuals heal and return to high levels of functioning.

Kripalu is dedicated to yoga as a rigorous, non-dogmatic and non-sectarian inquiry into the core issues of life. This kind of truth-based inquiry inevitably frees us from fears, fantasies, and distortions ad produces positive ways of being that generate beneficial results. To support rigorous inquiry and dialogue, Kripalu operates in accord with a set of core values: a commitment to authenticity, radical self-trust, the courage to fully express one’s self, and unconditional positive regard for others, Embracing these and other values is proven way to move toward the state of integrated functioning where what you think, feel, say and do are aligned and in synch.
