CHAPTER ELEVEN

DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE

Kripalu Yoga does more than scratch the surface of your life. It has the power to transform the whole of your life.

— YOGI AMRIT DESAI

Deepening your Kripalu Yoga practice does not require you to perform ever-more-difficult postures, although some students choose to do so. Practice deepens as you closely attune to the inner flow of energy and awareness. Guided from within, you move and stretch in ways that nurture the body, rebalance the emotions, and fine-tune the mind. On some days you may challenge yourself physically to work the kinks out. On others you may move gently to soothe body and mind. While the outer expression of a depth practice is likely to change from day to day, the inner practice of being present and focusing inward remains the same.

With regular practice, you discover that sensations grow distinct and the inner world of emotion becomes more vivid. Mental awareness is refined, helping you discriminate between surface thinking and deeper, creative streams of thought. An attitude of compassionate self-observation emerges that expands self-awareness and leads to periodic insights and occasional breakthroughs. In Kripalu Yoga, it is this steady deepening of presence, both on the yoga mat and in your life, that is the true measure of practice.
