No Sanskrit Names, No New-Age Music, No Foot Behind Your Head: How Yoga Works

Purposefully designed for people who have never tried yoga as well as those who are already practitioners, How Yoga Works offers substantive information about connections among yoga, science, and health, and positive support for practicing yoga within an established lifestyle.

Join Kripalu Center for Yoga’s Healthy Living advisor Susan Maier-Moul and discover yoga as a life changing experience for “the rest of us” – everyday people with responsibilities, careers, families, and lives committed to well being and success.

Participants praise the work:

“Outstanding, clear, compassionate.”

“Spectacular melding of whole class. Well thought out.”

“Positive joyful spirit.”

“Typically spirituality and something like neuroscience have existed in discrete worlds, decidedly threatened and fearful of each other – in your work they meet in the body, holding hands.”

“I have incorporated a lot of what you taught me and I have to say, my energy is great. I have made a yoga practice a part of my day everyday.”

“Absolutely super. I gave up after one attempt at yoga before. You convinced me to enjoy it.”

“Susan is my new favorite yoga teacher. I want to take her home with me.”

“Enjoyed it tremendously!!!!”

“A boost of pure energy.”

“Amazing teaching and great group dynamic. Couldn’t be better.”
