What is an Immersion?
A yoga immersion typically refers to an intensive and focused period of yoga practice and study, often conducted over several days, weeks, or even months. During a yoga immersion, participants delve deeply into the various aspects of yoga, including its physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation, philosophy, and lifestyle.
What is the purpose of Jivamukti Immersion?
A Jivamukti Immersion takes the student deeper into the study of Jivamukti Yoga and its five tenets: Ahimsa, Scripture, Meditation, Nada and Bhakti, as well as Asana.
The Immersion is perfect for those wishing to delve into the practical and mystical practices of Jivamukti Yoga. A Jivamukti Immersion provides great opportunities to make breakthroughs in asana practice, detox your body/heart/mind, and more deeply integrate your individual self with the greater reality.
Immersions serve as a refresher course for Jivamukti certified teachers, as well as a preparation course for those who would like to take the Jivamukti Teacher Training, and students, who would simply like to have a deeper experience and understanding of the different components that constitute Jivamukti Yoga.
“Jivamukti Yoga is a practice that transforms the individual by means of spiritual activation”.
Sharon Gannon
