Jivamukti yoga is a modern style founded by Sharon Gannon and David Life in 1984. It combines an energetic Vinyasa yoga practice with five pillars: sacred texts (shastra), devotion (bhakti), Ahimsa (non-violence), Nada yoga (music), and Dhyana (meditation). Classes include readings, mantra chanting, philosophical themes, and dynamic asana sequences. It is suitable for practitioners who seek not only physical challenge but also spiritual development.
