frequently asked questions
Q: What is the format of a Jivamukti Open class?
A: A Jivamukti Yoga class includes a dharma talk (a talk on yoga philosophy), yoga sequences (yoga poses that move the spine in all directions), guided relaxation, and meditation. The order of the elements may change but they are always present in a Jivamukti Open class. Though the yoga sequence includes inversions like headstand and backbends like upward facing bow, these are always optional. Furthermore, there are ways to prepare for these poses so it's not all-or-nothing. Taking a Jivamukti Yoga class with a beginner's mind is the best approach to this yoga practice!
Q: Doesn't the set sequence of a Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class get boring?
A: Repetitive does not mean boring. The set sequence allows you to become more aware of your progress in each pose, and being familiar with this sequence means you can practice it in the studio with the energy of other students uplifting you, or on your own when your schedule becomes unpredictable. The playlist also changes on a regular basis, so it is never the exact same experience.
Q: Who are Beginner Vinyasa classes for?
A: Beginner Vinyasa classes are best-suited for beginners as these classes are slower in pace. More time is dedicated to explaining alignment cues to aid students in understanding the "feel" of the poses. Students are reminded that options are available to either add or decrease the intensity of the practice.
Q: Do you have to be vegan to take a Jivamukti Yoga class?
A: You don't have to be vegan to take a Jivamukti Yoga class in the same way that you don't have to be able to do an arm balance to take a Jivamukti Yoga class. You are welcome as you are. That said, Jivamukti Yoga promotes veganism as a way to practice non-harming. Yoga, after all, means oneness, and that includes oneness with all beings we share this Earth with. Many Jivamukti Yoga students find that as their yoga practice deepens, they become naturally pulled into living in a way that is intentional and conscious. In Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training, part of the curriculum is understanding how the ethical precepts of yoga (non-harming, non-stealing, truth, non-sexual exploitation, and non-greediness) support veganism. It is this foundation that makes a Jivamukti Yoga class inherently vegan in its values.
