Why Kripalu?
Our Past
As a student in our schools, you are connected to a living lineage and evolving tradition. Kripalu is founded upon the teachings of Swami Kripalu (1913– 1981), an Indian yoga master and spiritual teacher whose name means “compassion.” His warm, heartcentered spirit infuses everything we do.
Our Present
And while we honor our past, we also look to the future, embracing the knowledge and insights made available by science on the effects and efficacy of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. We are proud to present a contemporary approach to this ancient quest for truth.

Upon your graduation, you immediately join a community full of thousands of graduates, professionals, yoga teachers, Ayurvedic health counselors, mindful outdoor leadership guides, yoga therapy consultants, and others dedicated to living their yoga
