Pranayama & Yoga - Marie Laferrière

Tuesday – 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM

Class in French only

Teacher: Marie Laferrière

At the beginning and end of the session, we explore and discover different breathing techniques (pranayama). Kripalu means “compassion.” It is a form of hatha yoga whose aim is to cultivate a meditative inner experience. Its practice invites a meditative awareness of the present moment, based on the principles of “BREATHE, RELAX, FEEL, OBSERVE, AND ALLOW” in order to integrate body, mind, and spirit, and to connect with the body’s wisdom and the power of the True Self. The physical postures (asanas) are considered the external vehicle for the “inner posture” we aim to develop on the yoga mat (and especially in daily life): inner calm, harmony, and peace, by “RIDING THE WAVE OF SENSATIONS.”
Kripalu: a yoga of self-acceptance, practiced at one’s own pace and without judgment.
