Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior in Saltdean, Brighton

What is Spiritual Warrior at the first place?

The Spiritual Warrior Yoga Class was created by Sharon Gannon and David Life, founders of the world-renowned Jivamukti Yoga method, which has been inspiring practitioners around the world since 1984.

The Jivamukti Yoga method is rooted in five tenets that guide both the physical practice and everyday life:

• Ahimsa (Non-violence) – Living with kindness and compassion towards ourselves, others, animals and the planet.

  
  

• Bhakti (Devotion) – Remembering that yoga is a path of connection and self-realisation, cultivated through intention, chanting and practices of gratitude and devotion.

  
  

• Dhyana (Meditation) – Turning inwards and connecting with the steady, unchanging awareness that exists within each of us.

  
  

• Nada (Sound) – Deep listening and using sound, music, silence and vibration to nourish the body, calm the mind and deepen our experience.

  
  

• Shastra (Study) – Exploring the ancient teachings of yoga and allowing their wisdom to inspire and guide our practice on and off the mat.

The Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior

The Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior ™ is a 60-minute well rounded comprehensive dynamic, full-body sequence designed to energise, strengthen and open the body while helping to release physical and energetic blocks, leading the student inward on an exploration of the deeper spiritual aspects of the self.

The class includes:

• Magic Ten warm-up

• Ashtanga Surya Namaskar

• Jivamukti Surya Namaskar

• Standing postures

• Balancing postures

• Backbends and forward folds

• Shoulder stand sequence and inversions

• Meditation and shavasana

• Short Sanskrit chants

As a vinyasa practice, movement is linked to breath, creating a moving meditation that calms the mind while building strength, flexibility and balance.

The sequence is practised to uplifting music. There is no demonstration during class, encouraging you to turn your awareness inwards and develop a deeper connection with your own practice. Hands-on assists are also offered to help you find alignment that works for your body.

I completed the 75-hour Fundamental Jivamukti Teacher Training in German with Jivamukti School Düsseldorf in January 2026, where I also received my Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior certification.

I'm very passionate about the Spiritual Warrior sequence. It's a perfect class for those looking for a well-rounded, full-body practice and who enjoy being physically and mentally challenged while exploring the deeper, spiritual aspects of yoga. I also absolutely love creating the playlists for these classes. (Listen to the the current playlist HERE)
