| I went to the section on the web site that defined Kripalu, but am still not clear. Can someone explain the difference between Kripalu and other yoga styles like Hatha?
thanks!

| Hi Kristen,
Kripalu yoga is a three-stage system of hatha yoga. In the first stage the physical body is focused on using a great "press point" terminology to clearly describe the alignment in the poses. In the second stage the eyes close and the awareness draws deeply inwards using the yogic technique of Pratyahara to feel the richness of sensation inside the poses. In the last stage the poses are held to cultivate and connect to the prana energy in the body. When the pose is released you maintain the inner awareness of the prana and follow it as it guides you into a flow of poses. This last stage is often called "meditation-in-motion" as it invokes a profound spiritual state.
Compared to the other styles or schools of yoga, Kripalu tends to be a gentle practice that focuses on the therapeutic and spiritual aspects of yoga. |
