JIVAMUKTI YOGA

It all started when ….

New york city, 1984

Jivamukti represents a modern style of yoga that aims at liberation while living. The origins of this yoga style appeared in 1984 in New York. The founders, David Life and Sharon Gannon, were interested in applying yoga philosophy to daily life so that more people could start enjoying the benefits. Jivamukti yoga spread pretty quickly around the United States, and presently, there are numerous studios and gyms that offer classes. If you embark on a Jivamukti journey, you’ll discover an immense reservoir of new experiences lying right within your reach.

Jivamukti Yoga is considered a very intense yoga style. There are several aspects to follow in each class, particularly as there is a unique theme established per session. You’ll get familiar with yoga scriptures, learn chanting and meditation, perform body postures and breathing techniques, as well as listen to music. Jivamukti techniques have won over many Hollywood stars, eager to give a true meaning to an existence accomplished from a materialistic point of view.

You will want to know whether Jivamukti is the right choice for you. The only way to decide is to do a bit of reading, view some videos and go to a class or two before you decide whether it matches your individuality or not. The part that many people enjoy is the combination of intense physical workout with chanting and philosophizing. These make yoga more appealing to the spirit above anything else. You should also know that Jivamukti pleads for veganism, environmentalism and animal rights.
