Gilli Axel was introduced to Jivamukti Yoga in 1997 and in
2007completed her teacher training with her teachers Sharon
Gannon and David Life. Gilli has since committed her practice of
teaching Yoga as a path to enlightenment. Gilli believes that the first
step to the ascension of consciousness begins with non-harming
(ahimsa), which is the first step of Patanjali’s System of Ashtanga
Yoga. Gilli believes that the path of Yoga is not an hour
commitment twice a week in class, it is a conviction of self-
discipline to purify the mind and develop awareness of Self. Once
we purify our minds and bodies, spiritual development can be
accelerated.
Gilli’s mission is to teach Yoga so that each person would
experience the joy, vitality and freedom of Self that Yoga brings.
She teaches a rigorous yet fun class, designed for students of
various levels. She encourages everyone to challenge their own
mental and physical state in a manner appropriate to where they are
right now.
Gilli is ever grateful to her family for their unwavering support and
blessed to be in the company of so many inspiring teachers who
continue to bless her life so that she may uplift the lives of all whom
she teaches.
