Vinyasa Yoga (Jivamukti)
Sharon Gannon and Kat Young
Jivamukti Yoga is a method of yoga that was created by David Life and Sharon Gannon in 1984 in New York City. They were blessed by their Guru Shri K Pattabhi Jois, founder of Ashtanga Yoga, to create this new style which reintegrates the physical, philosophical and spiritual aspects of Yoga. The emphasis in the West has been on the physical, but many have a direct experience in their hearts and minds of something more. David and Sharon became teachers because they were passionate about communicating Yoga as more than just a system of exercises- it is a spiritual practice and ultimately a path to enlightenment. Jivamukti Yoga is a living translation of the Indian system of yoga taught in a way that modern minds can comprehend. Jivamukti Yoga emphasizes vigorous asana (postures) as its primary technique, but other practices such as meditation, mantra, and philosophical texts are infused into each class.
The Jivamukti method of Yoga is one of the nine internationally recognized styles of Hatha Yoga. The other eight are: Ashtanga, Iyengar, Viniyoga, Sivananda, Integral, Bikram, Kripalu, and Kundalini.
WHAT DOES THE NAME JIVAMUKTI MEAN?
“We chose the name Jivamukti (pronounced Jee-va-mook-tee) Yoga to reflect the true aim of yoga, which is liberation. Jiva means individual soul and mukti means liberation. The exact transliteration of the Sanskrit word from which Jivamukti is derived is jivanmuktah, which means liberation while living. The name Jivamukti Yoga reflects the fact that it is possible to have a beneficial and fulfilling life in the world, and also progress spiritually-perhaps even attaining liberation (Samadhi) while living.”
