Asana, pranayama, micro movements and meditation-in-motion are all basic parts of a Kripalu yoga class. The asanas are practiced at three levels: gentle, moderate and vigorous vinyasa. But, no matter the level, the attention is always first on feeling.

Inspiration

Below are a few You Tube videos that I find highly inspirational. Practice, practice, practice... Also check some of my Favorite Songs.

Rodney Yee: There is no perfect posture

From You Tube: "Move it or lose it! Rodney Yee explains why the only perfect posture is a moving posture. In this segment, he shows you a simple stretch of the arms that will get you out of your bound position in a chair and reaching towards perfection."

Rodney Yee has always been one of my favorite yoga teachers for his down-to-earth personality and vast knowledge. -X

Krisnamacharya Yoga Film 1938 (silent)

From You Tube: "This is a video made in 1938 showing the Great yoga teacher demonstrating asana and pranyama. He was the teacher of BKS Iyengar and Sri K. Pattahbi Jois, founder the Astanga style of yoga".

About Krishnamacharya

B.K.S. Iyengar 1938 newsreel Part 1 (SILENT)

From You Tube: "This is from the same 1938 newsreel that shows Krishnamacharya demonstrating yoga. Here we see a young Iyengar (still alive, well, and doing yoga, BTW) doing advanced poses that constitute the advanced A & B astanga series. This is obviously well before Iyengar dropped the vinyasa aspect from his practice and rebranded it as "Iyengar Yoga", putting greater emphasis on allignment."
