What is Jivamukti Yoga?

The Jivamukti Yoga method is recognized by TIME magazine as one of the nine methods of Hatha Yoga taught in the world today and is featured in the acclaimed video: What is Yoga?

A Jivamukti Yoga class involves an ever changing flow of postures (vinyasa) that is intended to challenge you on many levels. Each class revolves around a theme based on ancient wisdom and emphasizes the importance of practicing with an elevated intention. Chanting, meditation, and inspiring music are a part of every class. 

This particular session will focus on the five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga:

2. Bhakti ~ devotion; finding a greater purpose for our lives.

3. Ahimsa ~ non-harming; understanding how our actions affect other beings.

4. Music ~ Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), chanting and listening to good music.

5. Meditation ~ turning inwards and reconnecting to our true selves.
