Kripalu
Kripalu puts great emphasis on coordination of breath and movement, and "honoring the wisdom of the body" — you work according to the limits of your individual flexibility and strength. Students learn to focus on the physical and psychological reactions that arise in various postures, tuning in to awareness of mind, body, emotion and spirit. The stages of development of a Kripalu practice involve learning the postures, the breathing, exploring your body, and developing concentration and awareness. Then, moving from one posture to another while in that place of awareness, the practice becomes a meditation in motion.
