Due to a family emergency, Gabriela Bozic will not be able to co-teach Jivamukti Yoga Immersion.
Jivamukti Yoga Immersion takes you deeper into the study of Jivamukti Yoga and its five tenets: ahimsa (nonviolence and compassion), scripture, meditation, nada (deep listening), and bhakti (devotion to God). Perfect for Jivamukti Yoga teachers who are looking for a refresher course, yoga students from other disciplines who are curious about what goes on in a Jivamukti Yoga training, and those brand new to yoga, this immersion provides a terrific opportunity to inspire your yoga practice, meet old and new friends, network, and build a yoga community. Anyone at any level of experience is welcome.
Jivamukti’s passionate focus on the original meaning of the Sanskrit word “asana”—as seat, connection, relationship to the Earth—is as practical as it is radical during this time of global consciousness shift. Taught by the creators of the Jivamukti method, Sharon Gannon and David Life, along with Jules Febre, and Shyamdas, the week promises to be a mystical adventure into the transcendental. The immersion includes:
Meditation instruction and practice
Daily asana practice, including sessions focued on inversions and vinyasa
Study of the Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra
Practical exploration of the link between yoga and vegetarianism
Question-and-answer sessions with faculty
This workshop includes a bhakti yoga immersion—the Special Labor Day Session of Ecstatic Chant on Monday from 2:00 p.m. to midnight with Krishna Das, Carioca, Deva Premal & Miten, and Jai Uttal.
Jivamukti Yoga Immersion begins Monday at 1:00 p.m. and concludes Friday at noon. Certified Jivamukti Yoga teachers receive credit hours toward their 800-hour certificate in Jivamukti Yoga.
