What is Kripalu YogaDance – formerly Kripalu Danskinetics?
Kripalu YogaDance ® is a yoga and dance based fitness experience that uses music and movement to bring you to life, elevate your heart rate, lower your inhibitions, and connect you to your body with joy and acceptance. Let your soul soar to an electric mix of music from around the world that simply begs your body to move from pulsating primal rhythms and funky, rocking beats to soothing, meditative flows.
Move with the joy of a child, freed from worrying about “getting it right”, by tapping the body’s natural rhythms and responsiveness to music. There are no complicated steps to master, just movement to explore with the guidance of a certified instructor in a safe and supportive environment. In no time at all, you’ll find yourself moving with more freedom and less self-consciousness. So much fun, you’ll forget you’re getting a workout. Each class ends with a deep and refreshing period of relaxation. Fun, fitness, and stress relief- all rolled into one.
The regular practice of YogaDance strengthens and tones the body, increasing vitality, stamina, and flexibility. It promotes self-revelation, deep relaxation, and the opportunity to consciously reconnect body, mind and spirit.
Movement of the chakras can open energy flows, create positive thought patterns and heal the inner self.

The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not anger
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart
and chant these words with your mouth.
~~~~~~ Usui Mikao ~~~~~~
What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork. The word shiatsu means “finger pressure”, and shiatsu is sometimes described as a finger pressure massage.
How does shiatsu work?
Like acupuncture, shiatsu is based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine, where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy, or qi (pronounced “chee”) through the body.
Shiatsu therapists use finger and palm pressure to energetic pathways, called meridians to improve the flow of qi.
A scientific explanation is that shiatsu calms an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which improves circulation, relieves stiff muscles, and alleviates stresss.
What does shiatsu feel like?
The shiatsu therapist applies pressure using his or her fingers, thumbs, and/or palms in a continuous rhythmic sequence.
The pressure feels more localized, because unlike other types of massage, the finger pads are used to apply pressure for most of the treatment instead of the entire palm.
Certain pressure points may feel tender, which some people describe it as “good pain.”
If you feel any discomfort or pain during the treatment, tell your therapist and he or she will adjust the pressure so that it is comfortable to you.
Most people say shiatsu is as relaxing as a classic forms of massage therapy.
What should I expect during my visit?
The treatment is done on a low massage table or on the floor.
Unlike other forms of massage, with shiatsu no massage oil is applied, so you remain fully clothed during the treatment. You may be asked to bring comfortable clothing to wear.

What are Chakra’s?
- Chakra Photographs by Robert A Getz
Chakra is the most common term for the energy centers that occur along the midline of the body, within the auric field. Sometimes visualized as spinning wheels or vortices of light and colour, chakras are centers of energy that relate to each of our body’s systems and organs. According to ancient vedic tradition, there are seven primary chakras, although modern healers and new age systems may discuss more or less than seven. Each chakra corresponds to a different area of the body and an aspect of the psyche. Physical and psychological problems are thought to show up in a person’s chakras and energy field long before symptoms are noticeable.
Chakras have no physical structure. They are part of the body’s subtle energy system and do not have a physical representation or a fixed location – they can shift around within the body. A chakra may relocate by several inches or more as a result of surgery, trauma, or mental or emotional abuse. It might simply be a difference in their “energy anatomy” that places the chakras in slightly different locations in different people. The usual locations are within the body, in a straight line which runs from the “root chakra,” at the base of the spine/between the legs, to the “crown chakra” at the top of your head.
