Practice with Aki at Kripalu!

Starting this June, Kripalu will be launching teacher residencies. Teacher residencies in our R&R program are designed to bolster both the Kripalu lineage and new partners who carry other lineages, especially those offering diverse and historically underrepresented perspectives in healing spaces.

We’re excited to launch our new teacher residency in the R&R program with Aki Hirata Quetzalyolotzin, the founder of MINKA Brooklyn and a deeply rooted healing practitioner. During her residency, Aki will guide us through workshops exploring themes of energetic healing, ancestral connection, voice and expression, feminine reclamation, and spiritual guidance. We’re honored to begin this new chapter with Aki and look forward to the healing and transformation it will inspire. Book your R&R Experience today.
