The long-awaited, complete guide to the popular, vigorous American method of yoga

that is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and scriptures

""In this day and age of health

and fitness trends, it is assuring to know that Sharon and David encourage their

students to draw inspiration from the classical texts of Yoga and timeless scriptural

sources. ""-Sri Swami Satchidananda

Creators of the extremely

popular Jivamukti Yoga method and cofounders of the New York City studios where it

is taught, Sharon Gannon and David Life present their unique style of yoga for the

first time in book form. As they explain their intensely physical and spiritual system

of flowing postures, they provide inspiring expert instruction to guide you in your

practice.

Unlike many books about yoga, Jivamukti Yoga focuses not only on the physical

postures but also on how they evolved-the origins of the practices in yoga's ancient

sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions-the psychotherapeutic benefits

that accrue with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when

energy flows throughout the mind and body. Jivamukti Yoga, which means ""soul liberation,""

guides your body and soul into spiritual freedom, physical strength, peace of mind,

better health, and Self-realization-the ultimate goal of any practice. Gannon and

Life help you understand each of the practices that comprise the yoga path to enlightenment-

AHIMSA-The Way of Compassion- choosing nonviolence, respecting all life, practicing

vegetarianism, living free of prejudice

ASANA-The Way of Connection to the Earth-

postures and sequences, breathing, transforming energy, understanding the bandhas

KARMA-The Way of Action- creating good karma, giving thanks

NADAM-The Way of Sacred

Music- appreciating the sacred sounds of yoga

MEDITATION-The Way of the Witness-

how to sit still and move inward

BHAKTI-The Way of Devotion to God- living with love,

grace, and peace

Whatever yoga you practice, Jivamukti Yoga will help you to strengthen

and deepen that practice and lead you onto a path of spiritual clarity and self-discovery.

""If there is only one book you read about the practice of Yoga, this should be the

one. . . . This book

is for anyone who wishes to find transformation through Yoga. I'm grateful for their

work and teaching.""-Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, Co-founder & CEO, Omega Institute

Reviews for Jivamukti Yoga: Practices for Liberating Body and Soul

Jivamukti has been a big influence in my life. I've read this book twice and expect to read it many more times. It's the bible of my spiritual practice. -RUSSELL SIMMONS David and Sharon are great teachers in the fullest sense of the word-as guides and mentors they challenge and inspire. Their book gives readers a glimpse of the power of yoga to transform lives. -TRUDIE STYLER Cofounder of the Rainforest Foundation Sharon and David sing the essence of yoga in their new book Jivamukti Yoga. Their book is amazingly accessible without being compromising to the tradition of yoga. In the same breath I applaud them for their courage to be creative and daring in expressing their unique and gifted voices. -RODNEY YEE
