Learn Bow Pose, A Beginner Back Bend

After a spiritual awakening during a 2007 trip to northern India, Jai Sugrim returned to New York prepared to alter his life. He did so by committing himself to practice yoga every day at the downtown Jivamukti Yoga Center. Jai quickly became enlightened by the teachings and underwent an internal and external transformation. Jai believes anyone can master the art of yoga and views yoga as "the tool that will aid the current transformation of consciousness that is now occurring on our planet."

Before Jai's lifestyle transformation, he worked as an Athletic Trainer and Massage Therapist. He also completed three years of post-graduate studies in Psycho- Neurology with special focus in the areas of neuro-linguistic-programming and hypnosis at Barron University in Los Angeles. In 2000 and 2001, he worked for the New York Yankees and earned himself a World Series Championship Ring.

Now a certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, on Yoga Sutra Now Jai combines physical asana practice with a master class in understanding the origins of every pose, movement, breathing technique, meditative focus, nutritional habit and thought process.
