KRIPALU YOGA

Birthright

"Despite illness of body or mind, in spite of blinding despair orhabitual belief, who you are is whole.

Let nothing keep you separate from the truth. The soul, illumined from within, longs to be known for what it is.

Undying, untouched by fire or the storms of life, there is a place inside where stillness and abiding peace reside.

You can ride the breath to go there.

Despite doubt or hopeless turns of mind, you are not broken.

Spirit surrounds, embraces, fills you from the inside out.  Release everything that isn't your true nature.  What's

left, the fullness, light and shadow, claim all that as your birthright."

                                                                                             Dana Faulds, direct quote from Kripalu Yoga: A Guide to Practice On and Off the Mat by Richard Faulds, p. 203.

ABOUT YOGA

The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit meaning "union", to merge, join or unite. All yoga techniques work toward balancing body, mind, emotions and spirit. The practice of yoga strengthens and stretches muscles, stimulates and regulates the hormonal and immune systems and improves digestion, circulation and respiration.  Yoga practice increases vitality and helps to develop a calm, focused mind. All classes include warm-ups, postures, breathing techniques, meditation and relaxation. Pris sees every student as a wonderfully unique individual, each with different approaches to their yoga practice and to their lives.  She encourages all her students to listen to their own bodies and honor what their bodies tell them.  Pris works with her students to meet their own needs, taking postures to their own individual body's heights, encouraging them to "meet themselves where they are" rather than as others may see them.
