Jivamukti Yoga
Jivamukti Yoga is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. The ancient spiritual traditions of Yoga have been shared by our teachers and founders of the method, Sharon Gannon and David Life, with our modern world in hopes of awakening our own body.mind.heart. All integrated practices allow for a contemplation and transformation of the relationship with both, our inner & outer worlds ―cultivating awareness and appreciation of Life (and all lives).
We will begin everyday with Pranayama, Meditation and Kriyas, followed by an extended Jivamukti Yoga practice of Asanas, where you will receive individual assists and guidance from the teachers.
