The Inner Light Center symbol is an eight pointed crystalline star. It announces the New Age of Spirit, raises energy into the next Octave of Light, and holds the pure light frequency of Love, Light, Harmony and Peace that it radiates out to all.
The upright cross represents the Tree with roots firmly planted in the earth, upper branches reaching to the Divine Source, and side branches reaching out with the power of loving kindness.
The X cross represents the Divine Marriage of Love and Wisdom, and celebrates unity.
The heart of the star represents the birth of the Divine Inner Light in every heart. The three circles represent the radiant power, and protective field of Light.

When the word yoga is mentioned, most people immediately think of some physical postures for relaxing and limbering up the body. This is one aspect of the Yogic science, but actually only a very small part and relatively recent in development. The physical Yoga, or Hatha Yoga, was primarily designed to facilitate the real practice of Yoga—namely, the understanding and complete mastery over the mind. So the actual meaning of Yoga is the science of mind. Traditionally, the word Yoga refers to Raja Yoga, the mental science.
Kripalu Yoga meditation in motion is a synthesis of Hatha and Raja Yogas in which both movement and meditation can happen simultaneously and be a complement to each other rather than a distraction from each other. The purpose of the practice of yoga is to experience integration, the unity of body, mind and spirit. According to yoga, prana (the universal life force or energy) is the crucial link that unites body and mind. Learning to manage and direct the flow of prana in our bodies, we can restore balance to our mind and emotions, thus achieving integration and wholeness. Prana not only sustains all the physical and mental processes of life but is the energy of spiritual consciousness as well.
Energy (Prana or the universal life force) manifests physically in movement and activity, emotionally as feelings, mentally as thought and insight. In essence, life involves one energy that serves us in an infinite variety of forms. In order to manage life effectively, we need to recognize how energy functions in our bodies and minds, and master the art of directing it.
Body, mind and energy are so interrelated that they cannot function without one another. When there is dis-ease in any one of them they are all effected. The positive side of this interdependence and synchrony of body, mind, and energy is that whenever we strengthen any one of them, the others are strengthened too.
Kripalu Yoga is a
holistic approach to the practice of yoga postures. Through physical practice of
Hatha Yoga (postures and breathing exercises) and Raja Yoga (meditation) an
integration can occur which can bring us into balance by strengthening the body,
calming the mind and bringing us to a greater understanding of ourselves.
Kripalu Yoga emphasizes that the physical postures are to be considered as the external vehicle of the more significant “inner posture”, which is the experience of complete inner stillness, harmony, peace, inner integration, balance, and union—
which is yoga.

The year
2008
Awakening - A Birth of Unity This is a year of unified joyous vision and owning the knowledge that we are all instruments for Spirit, this year of Twenty – Eight – Ten – One vibration endows us with great personal and collective power. It is imperative that we stand as one birthing our highest ideals and manifesting them in the world. It is a time of strength and compassion toward oneself and all others embracing the courage of our convictions, and the courage to be true to Self. Through unified alignment we invite balance and integration, a coming together with all that is, and being in the flow through harmonic resonance. Click
