Jivamukti yoga is a path of Self-realization through compassion of all beings. It is a physical, ethical, and spiritual practice, which combines a vigorous yoga exercise based on the vinyasa style along with 5 principles: shastra (scriptures), bhakti (devotion and love), ahimsa (non-violence), nada (music), and dhyana (meditation).
