This signature self-discovery program with Aruni Nan Futuronsky is a journey into living yoga. Experiment with Kripalu’s core teaching—the mindful practice of being present. This on campus program asks, "How do I block myself from being fully alive? How can I live in the now rather than in the story of yesterday?"
