Jivamukti Yoga
Jivamukti Yoga is a modern yoga style that incorporates physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), meditation, chanting, and philosophical teachings. It was founded in 1984 by Sharon Gannon and David Life, with the intention of creating a holistic approach to yoga that integrates spiritual teachings with physical practice. Jivamukti Yoga classes typically follow a themed structure, which may include a warm-up, dynamic asana practice, breath work, meditation, chanting, and relaxation. The practice is often accompanied by music and incorporates elements of Bhakti (devotional) and Karma (selfless service) yoga.
