Regular practice of Kripalu calms the mind and increases mental clarity and confidence. The physical postures improve circulation, relieve tension and increase energy. Kripalu encourages connection to your inner self and promotes self-acceptance. This practice is self-paced and teaches you to honor the needs of your body through 3 stages comprised of body and breath awareness, inner focus while holding physical postures, and meditation in motion. Kripalu Yoga can effectively benefit the physically fit as well as the novice exerciser.
Proper attire includes loose clothing that allows complete freedom of movement.
Nearly all Kripalu classes through the Wellness Program are appropriate for beginners or experienced yoga practitioners. This page copyright 2000 by the Cornell University Athletic Association. All Rights Reserved.
