Jivamukti Yoga

Jivamukti Yoga® is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. There are Jivamukti Yoga and affiliated centers around the world.

An internationally-recognized form of hatha yoga, Jivamukti Yoga is founded on five tenets—ahimsa (non-violence), bhakti (devotion), nada (music), shastra (scripture) and dhyana (meditation). The method emphasizes enlightenment or Self-realization as the goal of the practice, hence the name Jivamukti, which is a derivation of the Sanskrit word jivanmuktih, meaning “liberation while living.” It ce

nters on the importance of establishing an elevated—i.e., selfless—intention as the motivation for one's practice. Jivamukti is an integrated method, incorporating elements of raja yoga (ethical, physical, breathing and meditative practices), bhakti yoga (devotional practices), karma yoga (practices of selfless service) and jñana yoga (intellectual and meditative practices). In the state of enlightenment, one realizes the oneness or interconnectedness of all being; hence, Jivamukti emphasizes the importance of veganism, environmentalism and political activism as key practices toward the goal. Jivamukti Yoga teachers are trained in a demanding program that covers these practices, as well as the traditional subjects such as asana practice and yoga philosophy. Jivamukti Yoga classes are rigorous, and the goal of the practice—enlightenment—is remembered throughout by the teacher and student alike. Jivamukti Yoga was created by Sharon Gannon and David Life in the mid-1980s with the blessings of their teachers. The Jivamukti method represents many innovations introduced by Sharon and David to uncover the deeper meanings of yoga philosophy and to make the ancient practices of yoga relevant to the contemporary practitioner.

There are many ways to talk about the problems of our world, but one way or another, all of them have to do with polarization. We have a tendency to create narratives that divide, carrying within concepts of “us” and “them”; “good” and bad”; “right” and “wrong”; “worthy” and unworthy”. And within this set up there is not much space for tolerance, inclusion, for “holding hands”. Some of these narratives are hugely magnified into collective ones against nations and/or certain political, racial, religious, ethnic groups all having the same ending: violence (hiṃsā). The teachings of Yoga assure us on the following matter: wether individually or collectively, dividedness with others can only exist if we are divided from our own being. Only when there is a sense of disconnection from our own wholeness, there is separateness. Remember we are given the definition of Yoga in chapter one of the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali (Samādhi-pāda): “yogaś citta-vṛtti- nirodhaḥ”, PYS I:2 / “When you stop identifying with your thoughts, fluctuations of the mind, then there is Yoga, identity with Self, which is Samadhi, happiness, bliss, and ecstasy (commentary by Sharon Gannon).

How can we heal the division in our world without working on the inherent division we are cultivating in our lives? how to address and heal this inner separateness? Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj has put it in a beautiful way: “The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it”. One must move from thoughts to feelings, from the mind to the heart, creating a larger internal space for loving, caring and connection.

Gopala, is the child form of Krishna – “go” means “cow” and “pala” means “protector”. He is the son of Devaki, friend of the cows. Krishna means the all attractive one, he is unconditional love and in the words of Sharon Gannon, “when we recite or sing the name of God as Gopal, our hearts open and we are led by a charming young boy into the realms of heavenly delight.”. The children of this world may effectively inspire us on reconnecting to our own wise hearts, as well as our spiritual practice.
Our world is asking us to wake up to collective belonging and luckily Yoga is a pathway that can help us transforming suffering, surpassing differences and crossing the abyss.

Being born and raised in a country where Catholicism is the main religion, it is no surprise that that was the environment in which I grew in. It was by attending the traditional Sunday ceremony with my family that a sense of “faith” was cultivated within, as well as a connection to some source of divinity. However, at some moment in my adult life, questions and doubts led me to step aside from its own rituals and traditions. Curiously, over the past months, my 3,5yo child has been fiercely asking me to take her to church. Despite not knowing the root cause of her willingness, as a mother I could not ignore her call, so I committed to finding the most suitable ceremony for families and kids and attending it by myself first — to decide whether it would be appropriate for my child.

There I was taking an opened bittersweet seat, balancing between discomfort and a sense of familiarity. The spiritual scripture presented, though, conveyed a very well-known valuable teaching. It described a moment when Jesus and some of his apostles climb up a high mountain. Reaching up to its peak, they experience feelings of true happiness, unconditional love and joy. To soak into that blissful state of being, naturally they do want to remain there, at the mountain pinnacle, but to their disappointment Jesus requests something different. He is clear about what to do next: without loosing touch of that happiness, love and joy, they would have to climb down the mountain, taking all that goodness to others. Moreover, to remember that innate beauty within the ordinary of daily life and in moments of hardship.
