Tools of the Kripalu Approach Benefit from Kripalu's 30 years of experience:
-
Guide students in developing witness consciousness and self-compassion

Learn how to connect to source for creative asana sequences
Breathe connected to movement
* Use the "press point" assisting methodology and other assists to guide students into the fullest expression of each posture for their bodies
* Offer the best in experiential teaching.
The Curriculum includes:
* Skills for transformational teaching: Help students develop a heightened sense of body awareness to deepen their practice on the mat and show them how to take that awareness into their lives off the mat.
* How to create inspirational, creative, experiential yoga classes: Develop skills for teaching an inspirational 1-hour or 1 �-hour yoga class: how to pay proper attention to pratapana, how to motivate students and pace your class according to students skill levels and experience, and how to create lesson plans for a complete series of classes with progressive levels of difficulty.
* Principles of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology Focus on safety, joint movement, range of motion, and the skeletal and muscular systems.
* Pranayama techniques Enable students to experience body-mind integration through yogic breathing and teach them how to connect consciously with prana, or life forcethe inherent wisdom of the body.
