I have doing Kripalu yoga for 3 years. However, I have not had access to a teacher nor could I travel to the headquarters. Therefore, I only had the videos. I have been waiting for a book on Kripalu yoga for some time. This book more than adequately met my need for additional understanding.

This book captures the full essence of Kripalu Yoga. I am a Kripalu Yoga Teacher and Meditation Teacher (feelbetternowyoga.com), and I think Richard Faulds has done an amazing job of explaining what Kripalu yoga is and what makes Kripalu yoga unique. I highly recommend this book to anyone who teaches or practices Kripalu yoga.
