Ilana Beigel, M.A., Kripalu Faculty member, is a passionate and inspiring facilitator who has been devoted to practicing and sharing Kripalu Yoga since 1997. Known for her ability to make ancient wisdom accessible and applicable to modern living, she teaches with equal parts reverence and delight. Combining a lifelong fascination with the ‘meaning of life’, a 25+ year yoga and meditation practice, an educational background in Psychology, and 20+ years of experience supporting patients through life upheavals as a Medical Speech Therapist, she offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to the physical, emotional and spiritual practices of Yoga with easy to implement tools and guidance that support living with more ease, strength, grace, and purpose.
A lifelong learner, she has dedicated years to the study of varied aspects of Yoga including the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Ayurveda, and dharma. Inspired by the Instinctive Meditation approach, she is a Kripalu Vinyasa yoga teacher, a Reiki practitioner, mentor in the Kripalu School of Yoga, life coach, aspiring author, and perhaps her most treasured and important role - mom of three teenagers.
