Purnima Maria Langen is an 800 hours Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. At the NYC Jivamukti Yoga School, she is coordinator of Jivamukti Yoga Retreats, Immersions and the Costa Rica Teacher Training. The practice of Jivamukti Yoga has literally transformed, healed and energized Purnima on every level. Jivamukti Yoga has turned Purnima’s world upside down – in the best way possible – after two surgeries in which her cervical spine was fused and a cable inserted to hold her neck together, while living with scoliosis and herniated disks; through the blessings of her guru she practices and teaches inversions to her students. She bows deeply, humbly and with joyous Aloha at the feet of her teachers Sharon Gannon, David Life and all the Jivamukti teachers and gurus – thanking them for their satsang in supporting her in her journey as a vegan and spiritual activist for all beings – animal, plant, mineral, elemental and human.
