One With Intention Yoga: The Jivamukti Lineage

The goal of this practice is to help you attain your fullest potential, in every sense -- physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional.

Jivamukti is a challenging form of Hatha Yoga taught in a vinyasa style, which incorporates chanting of Sanskrit mantra and weaves spiritual teachings from source texts into the physical instruction of the asana. Classes are based on five key tenets which include:

• Scripture ~ teachings from ancient Sanskrit scriptures.
• Bhakti ~ devotion; finding a greater purpose for our lives.
• Ahimsa ~ a non-harming, compassionate lifestyle.
• Music ~ use of chanting/uplifting music to elevate the spirit.
• Meditation ~ reconnecting to our true inner selves.

Each month, Jivamukti yoga teachers around the world teach spiritual lessons based on a "Focus of the Month." Spiritual talks draw from ancient scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Buddhist Dhammapada as well as drawing in modern commentary from leaders such as Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Jack Kornfield and others. The Jivamukti method is one of nine internationally recognized styles of Hatha Yoga. The Jivamukti "mothership" is based in New York City, with affiliated centers in London, Munich, Berlin, Toronto and Detroit. You will find passionate and dedicated Jivamukti teachers around the world, as well as thousands of students who love this method for the way it brings together the philosophical, intellectual, spiritual and physical aspects of yoga.
