This rigorous, monthlong teacher training program is a rare opportunity to study with the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, Sharon Gannon and David Life, and prepares you to become certified as a Jivamukti Yoga teacher.
Jivamukti Yoga is one of nine internationally recognized styles of hatha yoga. Developed by Gannon and Life in 1986, its distinct style integrates the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of yoga practices into a modern lifestyle without losing sight of the ancient and universal goal of the practice—liberation. (Jivamukti means "living liberated" in Sanskrit.) The Jivamukti Yoga practice provides a pragmatic and experientially oriented life philosophy, grounded in ethical precepts to guide inner and outer work, and an original, creative approach to living and being.
A Jivamukti Yoga class is a vigorous physical and spiritual practice that pushes beyond the limitations often imposed by the mind and incorporates chanting, asanas, music, meditation, and devotional practices. The five elements that form the foundation of each class are: scripture, bhakti (devotion to God), ahimsa (nonviolence and compassion), nada yoga (deep listening), and meditation (connection with the unchanging reality within).
The 215-hour training includes:
- study of Sanskrit and ancient yogic and Hindu scriptures;
- asana focus on standing poses, forward bends, twists, backbends, inversions, and balances, including assists and adjustments;
- Jivamukti methodology and class sequences;
- physical and energetic anatomy;
- philosophy, ethics, and lifestyle;
- practice teaching and observation; and
- spiritual practices.
