Jivamukti Yoga Explained with YuMee Chung

Join YuMee Chung in this video exploration and demonstration of Jivamukti Yoga. Born of the Manhattan yoga scene in the 1980s, Jivamukti Yoga has enjoyed explosive growth and popularity within it's relatively short lifespan. So much so, in fact, that it is considered one of the nine internationally-recognized forms of Hatha yoga, the other eight being Ashtanga, Bikram, Integral, Iyengar, Kripalu, Kundalini, Sivananda and Viniyoga.

With the vast landscape of yoga studios in Toronto, local practitioners have an almost intimidating array of styles and traditions from which to choose. For the beginner, finding a style that's right for you can be a daunting task. Which style best suits your individual tastes? What are the similarities and differences between them? Why do we need so many different styles of yoga anyway? While many physical postures, or asana, are common to the various styles of yoga, each style brings its own flavour, tone and emphasis.

This article is the first in the Yoga Explained series, which showcases the major styles of yoga, as explained by experts in the Toronto yoga community. Join some of Toronto's finest yogis as we navigate together through the previously uncharted waters of Toronto's rich and diverse yoga community.
