About Kripalu Yoga  

Kripalu Yoga is a unique discipline that facilitates opening to the wisdom of your own body, re-discovering who you are and re-learning to be at ease within yourself, both on the mat and in your daily life. Rooted in the ancient discipline, Kripalu Yoga focuses on developing prana, sometimes thought of as intelligent life force. 

The classes are designed to teach the techniques of Kripalu Yoga to anyone, regardless of age, ability or physical condition. Dani’s style is  eclectic in nature. Each  class begins with a centering meditation, breath work [pranayama] and appropriate warm ups [sometimes mixed with a good deal of laughter]. The warm-ups draw on supportive mind/body techniques such as Feldenkrais, Alexander, Bioenergetics and Ideokinesis to make movement freer and more satisfying to do.

This foundation prepares the body for practicing the postures [asanas] safely and efficiently. The asanas are chosen based on the particular needs of the class. They open channels of energy and build strength, flexibility, groundedness, deeper breathing, a sense of personal power and a connection to spirit. Stiff bodies enjoy the practice as much as more flexible ones. Learning to “listen” to one’s own body, accepting and honoring your body’s needs in each moment as you are guided to move at your own pace, keeps the practice safe, satisfying and deeply nourishing from the inside out. The final relaxation [shavasana] is guided with creative healing imagery and is followed by a heart-centered meditation.

Why do yoga?
Yoga will help you look better, feel better and be more relaxed. Your posture will improve, your joints will feel looser and your spine freer. Your energy will increase and you’re likely to sleep better as you let go of unconsciously held physical tensions and stress.

You will stretch and strengthen your muscles and bones, stimulate and help bring into balance your digestive, respiratory, circulatory, hormonal and immune systems.

Practicing yoga regularly has been found to be helpful for many physical/medical problems or disorders such as: allergies, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, diabetes, headaches, high blood pressure, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, lethargy, menopause, menstrual problems and recovery from injury, to name a few.
