Whether you are looking to improve your overall health, manage stress, gain strength, increase balance and flexibility, or create harmony of body, mind, and spirit – the practice of yoga offers all of these benefits and more.

Focusing on the sensations that arise as you breathe and move your body in gentle and supported ways bridges the chasm separating body and mind, allowing you to become fully present to the peace available in the here and now.

With guidance from an experienced teacher, a balanced sequence of yoga postures stretches and strengthens the entire body, releasing chronic tension that dulls vitality. As you conclude your yoga session with deep relaxation, energy naturally flows to the areas of your body most in need of rejuvenation and healing.

Through effort, the body is strengthened. Through relaxation, the body is revitalized.
Swami Kripalu

Regular practice takes you to deeper levels of inner peace, initiating a gradual process of growth and transformation. Concentration deepens, enabling you to observe the inner flow of emotion and thought with heightened awareness. Witnessing the activity of the mind, you learn to recognize unproductive thought patterns and let them go. As these obstacles fall away, a joyous clarity emerges. Moments arise where you touch into the core energy underlying body and mind, expanding your sense of self.

Kripalu (Krih-PAH-loo) means “being compassionate”. Kripalu yoga teaches self-observation without judgement. All are welcome, just as you are in this moment.

All of this is available to you, no matter your current situation or perceived limitations, through the practice of yoga on and off the mat. And now, personalized and customizable instruction in the practices of yoga breath, movement, and meditation is available to you at Freshlife.
