Lead Kripalu Faculty
Our faculty bring care, insight, and passion developed from decades of experience to every Kripalu program. From Kripalu Yoga teachers to Mindful Outdoor Leadership guides, our work is grounded in the Kripalu distinctive methodology, the wisdom tradition of yoga, as taught by Swami Kripalu, whose very name means compassion.
