BIO
Jivamukti Yoga offers vigorously physical and intellectually stimulating yoga classes. Classes include Vinyasa (flowing asana sequences), hands-on adjustments, Pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, Sanskrit chanting, Yogic philosophical teachings and deep relaxation. To keep the practice inspiring, asana sequences are ever-changing with music playing an integral role in the class.
Jivamukti yoga is a method of yoga that was created by David Life and Sharon Gannon in 1984, which reintegrates the physical, philosophical and spiritual aspects of yoga. David and Sharon became teachers because they were passionate about communicating yoga as more than just a system of exercises but a also a spiritual practice; a path to enlightenment. From the beginning they have taught a living translation of the Indian system of yoga in a way that western minds can comprehend.
Durga Devi is one of the original teachers of the London Jivamukti Yoga Centre. She is advanced certified in the method and taught at the Lafayette Street New York centre for over 3 years before moving to London to assist in opening Jivamukti London in early 2005.
