CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

BASIC
If you are a beginner struggling with downward facing dog or a more advanced student perfecting your shoulder stand, give the Basic course a try. Take advantage of a more intimate environment and focus on the fundamentals. Each week of the month features a concentration: standing poses, forward bends, back bends, and finally, combinations and inversons.

OPEN
Whether you're a beginner, deciphering the difference between halasana (plough pose) and sirshasana (headstand) or an advanced yogi, the Open class encompasses all levels at Jivamukti. You work at your own pace, following the teacher's constant guidance. A typical Open class consists of flowing vinyasa sequences partnered with Sanskrit chanting, traditional Vedic and contemporary teachings and commentary, breath awareness, meditation, hands-on alignment, and relaxation. We do sitting, standing, and inverted postures, and suggest challenging variations for more advanced students. Exuberant, eclectic music plays an integral role; in a typical Open class you might practice to a shifting soundtrack of ragas, global trance, Bob Dylan, the chanting of Krishna Das, Miles Davis, Gregorian chants, and Dido.

MEDIUM
This class is amazing! Perfect if you want to progress from Basic to Open and if you are already going to Open but want to work more detailed on specific asanas or sequences to further refine your practice! A detailed exploration into the sequences you’ll find in an OPEN class. A strong emphasis on balancing, inversions and unlocking the secrets to more "advance” postures. With the use of wall and prop work, this is a great class to empower, connect, and challenge you. You’ll always leave feeling elevated and you did more than you thought you could. Similar to the Basic classes, each week of the month features a concentration. And there is always the opportunity to ask questions during medium classes.

SPIRITUAL WARRIOR (our newly deveolped 60min Class format)
This is a brisk, guided, led vinyasa class in which the teacher calls out the asanas and provides the breath count, but gives less instruction as to how to do the various asanas. The class offers a well-rounded practice as a set sequence that includes a warm-up, the setting of an elevated intention, chanting, surya namaskar, standing asanas, twists, balances, forward bending, backward bending and inversions, as well as relaxation and meditation, and is designed to be completed in one hour. Thus, it is suitable for those who have limited time to devote to a yoga practice, for those who are looking for a workout to "shape up" physically, and for those who are looking to include a robust asana practice in a manageable daily routine. Because it is a fixed sequence, the student has the opportunity to progress to the level of mastery by committing to a consistent, steady, regular sadhana. The first few classes may seem overwhelming, but with time and steady practice, progress will inevitably come. The Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior 1-hour sequence is a comprehensive yoga class that transforms, invigorates and energizes, while at the same time grounding and leading the student inward on an exploration of the deeper spiritual aspects of the self. Ideal for lunch or after lunch breaks. Transform youself through a fun and fulfilling daily affordable yoga practice no matter what hours you work.

BASIC/OPEN/MEDIUM/SPIRITUAL WARRIOR ENGLISH
In response to multiple inquiries from the English speaking community in Berlin, we are now offering one regular Basic, Open & Spiritual Warrior class each week that is held in English. For class description please refer to the preceding paragraphs.

everyone who is looking for relaxation in a more sestoravie way. The
focus of the class is on slower sequences, soft
stretching, deep breathing, special relaxation exercises, restorative asanas

IN CLASS PRIVATES (ICPs)
Jivamukti Yoga Berlin is the first yoga center in Berlin to offer this state of the art experience in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual tuning: The Jivamukti In-Class Private.

In the comfort of the hands of a certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, you are guided in each and every movement during the experience of a Jivamukti Yoga class. The teacher's hands almost never seem to leave your body as they skillfully make minor or major adjustments to the physical form. Whether sitting, standing or in a vinyasa flow you are led with ease. However it is not only the physical form which benefits from this superb treatment.

First, your personl ICP teacher is able to give you individual insturctions and translations during a German class. And second, many times psychological blockages prevent us from truly experiencing the bliss of each asana. Sometimes no matter how long we practice or how hard we try, we feel that no progress is made and perhaps even feel a sense of frustration. When we feel comfortable and trust our surroundings, anxiety, fear, lack of self confidence, all disappear and major breakthroughs can occur. Through this special technique defenses and barriers are relaxed. It is as therapeutic as a full body massage, releasing stored and blocked energy which can inhibit full freedom of movement.

The result:
The best yoga class you have ever taken
Alignment corrections
Individual English instructions, hints and translations
Reduction of stress
Extreme sense of well-being
Feeling of peace
Breakthroughs in your yoga practice
