Experience the Jivamukti tradition in its original form. Our Classic Open95 is the signature Open class of our Jivamukti Yoga lineage, taught in the full 95-minute format that has been at the heart of Jivamukti practice since its beginnings in New York in the 1980s. This is the original Jivamukti Open class length: long enough to comfortably include all 14 points of practice in depth and to immerse fully in the innovative combinations of asana, meditation, and spiritual teachings of our method.

Whether you’re a beginner, deciphering the difference between vṛkṣāsana (tree) and śīrṣāsana (headstand), or an advanced yogi who can put both feet behind their head, the class welcomes you, as it is open to practitioners of all levels. You practice at your own pace, following the teacher’s verbal and hands-on guidance. Āsana options will be provided for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students.

A typical Open class incorporates the five tenets of our Jivamukti Yoga lineage: śāstra (scripture), bhakti (devotion), ahiṁsā (nonviolence), nāda (sound), and dhyāna (meditation), presenting classical yogic teachings as relevant to life on and off the mat. This is supported by chanting, breath awareness, flowing vinyāsa sequences, alignment exploration, hands-on assistance, relaxation, and meditation.

All Open classes in our Jivamukti Yoga lineage include 14 points: āsanas, meditation, and spiritual teachings, in a sequence creatively designed by the teacher. Exuberant, eclectic music plays an integral role: you might practice to a shifting soundtrack of rāgas, global trance, hip-hop, spoken word, George Harrison, Sting, Krishna Das, Donna de Lory, Michael Franti, Bill Laswell, Alice Coltrane, and Mozart.

Open classes are called “Open” because they are open and suitable for all levels of practitioners. However, beginning students should note that there will not be detailed “how to” instructions; for that, students are advised to attend our Foundations, Basic, or Open(M) classes.

What makes the Classic Open95 special is its authenticity and depth: It is the full-length Jivamukti Yoga experience as it was originally developed, powerful, immersive, and transformative, offering enough time to move through a complete practice with presence and awareness.

Über den Trainer/Lehrer

Vanessa discovered yoga during her first trip to India in 2018 and was immediately drawn to its meditative practices and philosophy. Since then, she has been fascinated by questions about consciousness, the illusion of the self, and non-dualistic teachings. After her first Jivamukti class at Three Boons, she was hooked. She found her favourite studio, started a regular asana practice, and embraced the holistic approach of the method. Vanessa completed her first 200h Vinyasa TTC in 2020, followed by another 200h TTC with Three Boons in autumn 2022. She is currently under the mentorship of Tara, continuously learning from her teachers and life itself. Her strong interest in science and the human body led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in biology. After graduating, she decided to combine her love of movement, scientific curiosity, and altruism by starting a training as a physiotherapist. The yogic practices inspire Vanessa to treat all beings with compassion, a daily practice both on and off the mat. She is grateful for the opportunities, inspirations, and teachers she encounters every day.
