Teaching the Jivamukti Yoga Focus of the Month

The Jivamukti Yoga Focus of the Month is a monthly essay written by an Advanced Jivamukti Yoga teacher. This tradition was started by co-founders Sharon Gannon and David Life as a way to give some inspiration and direction to the practice itself. Each month focuses on some aspect of practice or yoga philosophy and gives teachers and students an opporunity to investigate some aspect of yoga more deeply.

I’ve created a series of videos of my initial thoughts and reactions to the themes of the focus of the month. Of course over the course of a month I will come up with many ideas to shape my classes around, these videos are just a glimpse into my process and hopefully could serve as a starting point for other teachers to find their own little inspirations for teaching!
