The name Jivamukti means “liberation while living.” It is taken
from the Sanskrit term "Jivanmukta" which is used to describe
the state of enlightenment.
Jivamukti Yoga offers vigorously physical and intellectually
stimulating classes. Classes include Vinyasa (flowing asana
sequences), hands-on adjustments, Pranayama (breathing
exercises), meditation, Sanskrit chanting, Yogic philosophical
teachings and deep relaxation with music playing an integral
role in the class.
The main tenets of the Jivamukti style are:
* Scripture – teachings drawn from the ancient
Sanskrit texts
* Bhakti – recognition that God realisation is the
goal of all yoga practices
* Ahimsa – providing education information
about food & environment
* Nada – promoting the study of Nada Yoga
(yoga of sound)
* Meditation – encouraging meditation as an
essential part of the yoga practice.
