5BBC is pleased to work with the New York Center for Kripalu Yoga & Health to present the March members program. The evening will feature certified Kripalu Yoga teacher Timothy Lamb leading a yoga class geared toward cyclists, incorporating stretching and meditation to improve flexibility and focus. Kripalu Yoga encourages self-compassion, a flowing breath, and being present in the body as you choose your level of physical intensity. The key concepts are: Breathe, Relax, Feel, Watch, & Allow. Both beginners & experienced students are welcome to an evening of movement and inspiration.

Timothy Lamb has been studying and practicing yoga daily since 2004 and became a Kripalu yoga instructor in the summer of 2009. His classes have a strong emphasis on finding an evenness of breath, body, and mind while incorporating Anusara inspired alignment principles taught by his teacher Paulo Hudson. His class offers clear instruction in pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation (breath awareness), asana (physical posture), and guided relaxation; not necessarily in that order.

Lee Vibhusha Ilan is a veteran 5BBC Member and has been practicing Kripalu Yoga for many years. Since 1994 she has served as the volunteer director of New York Kripalu, the local community that practices & teaches Kripalu Yoga & the teachings of Swami Kripalu.
