Jivamukti yoga isn’t just popular in Munich at the Jivamukti studio, but is well-known amongst yogis in Germany.

Kundalini yoga draws its inspiration from the Tantra schools of Hinduism, focusing on accessing and releasing your spiritual energy through awareness. You’ll have to get up early to jump on this trendy yoga bandwagon at the Kundalini Centre – classes start at 5.30am! As well as classes at more reasonable times of day, the centre also runs workshops on philosophical topics such as ‘the wisdom of letting go’ to complement physical practice. A single class costs €17, and annual and monthly passes are also available for the committed yogi.
