Yoga classes at Dream mostly feature Hatha Yoga taught mainly in the Kripalu Yoga style—a yoga practice that teaches the basic mechanics of yoga postures and breath…while encouraging inner focus, feeling, and mind-body awareness.  (Please see description below.)  Classes include centering, warm-up movements, postures, and deep relaxation. Meditation classes are based in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Because Yoga Therapy is a key focus at Dream--in all classes, instructors stress the Therapeutic Benefits of the practices.

 

Dream offers you a supportive, non-competitive environment.  Students are invited to listen to and honor the “wisdom of their body” and work at their own pace according to the limits of their individual flexibility and strength.

 

Students often say they leave our classes feeling less stressed, centered, uplifted and inspired!

Classes are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. So registration is encouraged, though Drop-Ins are welcome.

About Kripalu Yoga

Dream Yoga Studio & Wellness Center is an independently owned and operated Kripalu Affiliate Studio.  Kriplau Center for Yoga & Health is the largest yoga center in the nation. Kripalu Yoga--the yoga taught primarily at Dream Yoga Studio--brings you fully present to the moment-by-moment experience of being alive. The student performs yoga postures with breath, relaxation and feeling, which expedites the release of chronic tension and toxins from the body.   Self-observation without judgment allows a state of flowing awareness to arise in the mind. This activates prana, the life force, initiating a natural process of physical healing, psychological growth and spiritual awakening. Kripalu offers a gentle to moderate+ intensity of yoga practice. Postures are built from the "ground up"—beginning from the proper placement of feet and working up to the head. You learn proper alignment—how to move and stretch to keep your body safe from injury. And you’re encouraged to "listen to the wisdom of your own body," and modify postures to suit your body. (There are no static "perfect" poses.)

As one becomes more advanced, the focus is on longer holdings of the postures. In Stage 2 Kripalu Yoga, students hold the individual poses for extended periods of time, to "move beyond the physical" and connect with one’s inner strength and source. In Stage 3 Kripalu Yoga, so much Kundalini (life energy) is channeled and released in the body that one begins to let the energy move the body. Adepts move into a spontaneous posture flow, letting the body guide them. Stage 3 Kripalu Yoga is called, "Meditation in Motion" or "a state of prayer, expressed in movement." Kripalu has roots in Tantric Yoga, so the body/mind/spirit are linked. The body is considered a spiritual vessel as much as the mind.
