This immersive weekend is designed for dedicated practitioners ready to dive deeply into the practices and philosophy of Jivamukti Yoga. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll explore the relationship between flow and philosophy—how scripture, devotion, asana, chanting, and meditation inform one another and shape us both on and off the mat.
Flow and Philosophy: A Jivamukti Immersive Weekend
Yoga is more than movement — it’s a way of seeing, feeling, and living. In this immersive weekend, we’ll explore how the five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga — ahimsa (compassion), bhakti (devotion), nada (sound), shastra (scripture), and dhyana (meditation) — come alive through practice.
Each workshop blends flowing asana with chanting, meditation, and study, offering both a vigorous physical challenge and a space for inner reflection. Together, we’ll explore how philosophical teachings take shape in the body, how sound shifts the heart, and how yoga can guide us toward deeper awareness in our daily lives.
This weekend is open to practitioners of all levels — whether you are newer to the practice or have been on the path for years, you will find accessible entry points and inspiring challenges. What matters most is your curiosity, willingness, and devotion to learning.
Come prepared to sweat, chant, reflect, and connect — both to yourself and to community.
1. Embodied Ahimsa: The Practice of Compassion
Focus: Ahimsa (Non-harming) + Asana
This workshop explores how compassion is lived in the body. Through standing poses, balances, and hip openers, we’ll investigate how to honor our edges without aggression while still engaging fully with effort and flow. Each sequence becomes a meditation on kindness — toward ourselves, toward others, and toward the earth that supports us. We’ll reflect on how the principle of non-harming extends beyond the mat, influencing diet, speech, and activism.
Asana, chanting, scripture, meditation.
2. The Heart of Devotion: Bhakti in Motion
Focus: Bhakti (Devotion) + Nada (Sound)
Bhakti is devotion expressed through action, sound, and surrender. In this workshop, we’ll move through a flowing vinyasa practice interwoven with live chanting and mantra repetition. Twists and backbends will serve as physical metaphors for opening the heart, while sound becomes the bridge that links movement to meaning. Together we’ll embody the vibrational essence of devotion, discovering how yoga can be a love song to the world itself.
Asana, chanting, mantra, meditation.
3. Scripture in the Body: Moving with Shastra
Focus: Shastra (Scripture) + Dhyana (Meditation)
This workshop delves into the Yoga Sutra and Bhagavad Gita, exploring select verses through movement and stillness. Each passage will be paired with an asana sequence — forward bends for introspection, inversions for altered perspective, restorative postures for surrender — giving philosophical teachings a felt experience in the body. The session concludes with extended meditation, inviting practitioners to integrate scripture not as abstract ideas but as living truths.
Asana, chanting, mantra, meditation.
