Jivamukti
Yoga Center is one of the most popular yoga centers in
New York City. In 1994 its owners, Sharon Gannon and David
Life, set forth a mission aiming "to reintegrate
the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of
yoga for Western practitioners." They teach yoga
as a spiritual practice, and remind students/clients that
the practice of yoga is a demanding mystical journey whose
destination is enlightenment. The Jivamukti method is
notable for the way in which it combines classical yoga
techniques with what many would call American pop culture.
The major texts that Jivamukti highlights are Patanjali's
Yoga Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika,
and the Upanishads. They also esteem the teachings of
Sri Brahmananda, Sri Pattabhi Jois, and Sri Nirmalananda.
