Jiva what?
Jivamukti yoga is hard to pronounce and even harder to do. My friend brought me to a Jivamutki yoga class this past weekend and boy was it tough. I was clueless about this form of yoga, and i consider myself a Yoga expert, but my friend clued me in and I have since done a lot of research on the topic.
If you are not familiar, here is what I learned. Jivamukti means “liberation while living.” It is a new type of vinyasa style yoga first developed in the US in 1984. It incorporates an intense physical work out, and a big dose of yoga spirituality, chanting, meditation, music. I was told that each class has a unique theme. I am not exactly sure what the theme of my class was, but I can tell you it was one of the most physically demanding sessions I have ever been through. It was also one of the most enjoyable, I absolutely love the spiritual side of yoga, and this class really focused on that much more than any other class I have ever attended. I am hooked, I absolutely love this style, the problem is there are not many classes if any near where I live. My friend lives in New York City, and there are tons of classes available. She is asking one of her instructors for referrals for me down here in the Philly suburbs.
Side note, I liked Jivamuki so much that I actually registed the domain name: Jivamukti.info, I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but I am the proud owner of it none the less…
Until next time….
ps. I am still waiting for my order of Colonix to come in.
