Reset and recharge before the evening. Our Afternoon Express Open60 is the signature Open class of our Jivamukti Yoga lineage, taught in a compact 60-minute format that fits easily into the later part of the day. Shorter and more time-efficient than our Afternoon Flow Open75 and the classic 95-minute Open class, this streamlined version delivers the full Jivamukti experience in an energetic, focused practice.

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 Afternoon Express Open60 special is its compact power: practiced in the late afternoon, it offers the full intensity of Jivamukti Yoga in a shorter, sharper flow, refreshing body and mind and giving you the energy to carry into your evening.

Über den Trainer/Lehrer

Mariekje was initially searching for a tool to increase her resilience when she discovered yoga. What began as a short bedtime routine soon turned into a life style, a gateway to presence, patience, compassion and so much more. She completed her first 200 hour teacher training in 2018 and feels very lucky to share this beautiful practice ever since (- it’s the best job in the world!). Her aim is to create a supportive environment for students to explore their own bodies & minds and to discover a sense of liberation and creativity. She wants her students to leave the class feeling empowered yet serene, refreshed and inspired. Mariekje completed her 300hr Jivamukti Yoga Training in 2022 and is currently undergoing the 630+ hour mentorship program under the guidance of Anja Kühnel. She is eternally grateful to all the teachers who crossed her path and continue to inspire her everyday. Besides being a yoga teacher she studies psychology in Berlin.
