Jivamukti Yoga

Founded in New York in the 1980’s by Sharon Gannon and David Life , it has become an extremely popular Vinyasa style of Yoga.

There are five types of classes, Open, Basic, Beginner, Spiritual Warrior, and Meditation. Jivamukti Yoga is a physical, ethical and spiritual practice, combining a vigorous Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa-based physical style with adherence to five central tenets: Shasta (scripture), bhakti (devotion), ahimsa (non harming), nada (music) and dhyana (meditation).

Animal rights, veganism, environmentalism and social activism are also emphasized. Jivamukti Yoga has the reputation of being the chosen Yoga style of many celebrities.
