Jivamukti Yoga® Brooklyn Sharanam

This is not just a yoga studio. This is a community refuge.

Our Vision

Free and low-cost yoga and meditation
Scholarship-supported teacher training and development
Trauma-informed yoga and healing arts
Outreach in schools, senior centers, and re-entry programs
Cultural, musical, and spiritual gatherings

Why This Matters Now

New York City doesn't need another "wellness" space. It needs a sanctuary — somewhere practice is serious, community is real, and the door is open to anyone willing to do the work.

For over four decades, Jivamukti Yoga® has changed lives in this city — one breath, one class, one teacher at a time. Brooklyn Sharanam is the next step: a permanent home where that work deepens, expands, and reaches further than ever before.

This is where resilience is cultivated. This is where community is restored.
