Jivamukti Yoga is one of nine internationally recognized styles of Hatha Yoga. Developed in 1986 by Sharon Gannon and David Life, its distinct style integrates chanting, asanas, music, meditation and practices of devotion into a vigorous physical practice with a foundation in the ancient mystic philosophies of the East. Jivamukti incorporates these yoga practices into the modern lifestyle, without losing sight of the universal goal of the practices - liberation. It is a blueprint for incorporating the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga into our modern lives and awakens in the practitioner a need to protect the earth, the environment and all the animals and plants that share the planet with us.
Jivamukti Yoga features five tenets that are incorporated into every class:
Scripture: study of the ancient yogic teachings, including Sanskrit chanting.
Bhakti: acknowledgement that God realization is the goal of all yoga practices.
Ahimsa: a non-violent, compassionate lifestyle which emphasizes ethical vegetarianism and animal rights.
Nada Yoga: the development of a sound body and mind through deep listening.
Meditation: connecting to that eternal unchanging reality within.
The Center has two locations in New York City which feature weekly Kirtan, Satsang and Meditation gatherings. It has become, as New York magazine put it, "the spiritual, social ...nexus of downtown New York," and hosts a wide range of workshops, lectures, concerts and performances by internationally renowned spiritual teachers and artists.
