The Lowdown

Jivamukti Yoga is a rare gem in the world of yoga, and in Poznań, it’s even more exclusive. With only a few spots offering this holistic and transformative practice, Ahimsa School of Yoga on Kopernika 6 in the Old Town, stands out as the destination for yogis ready to go beyond the mat.

The Bigger Picture

Ahimsa School of Yoga is flipping the script on how yoga’s done in Poznań. This isn’t your standard studio where it’s all about the asanas and chasing fitness goals. Nah, this is where yoga steps off the mat and into the bigger picture. Ahimsa digs deep into Jivamukti, a style that fuses spiritual teachings, physical practice, and soul-level vibes to connect you with yourself and the world. It’s yoga, but make it meaningful.

The Boss

Leading this charge is John Prior, the school’s founder and living embodiment of what yoga’s all about. With over 1,000 hours of certified training across the globe and countless more teaching hours, John brings experience and authenticity like no other. But he’ll be the first to tell you—it’s not about the certificates; it’s about the practice. His passion? Pure. His goal? Simple: share the gift of yoga and pass on the wisdom he’s gathered from incredible teachers around the world. John teaches because he lives yoga, and it shows.

The Profits

What really sets Ahimsa apart is its sense of community. Whether it’s a class that ends with a group brunch or a charity event that doubles as a hangout, this school knows yoga’s about more than just moves. Last year, they even threw a Christmas dinner for those without a place to celebrate. Oh, and it’s worth shouting out again: all profits go to local vegan charities. Your practice here is literally making the world better.

The Classes

Jivamukti Open (90 mins): Kick off with a quick hit of yoga philosophy before diving into a strong vinyasa flow. Alignment, breathwork, and meditation tie it all together for a balanced session.
Spiritual Warrior (60 mins): A set sequence that’s all action, no fluff. It’s designed for efficiency but doesn’t skip on the depth—perfect for tight schedules.

John doesn’t just stand at the front barking instructions. He’s in the mix, giving hands-on assists and making sure every breath and movement lands right. Beginners, don’t sweat it—he’s got your back, and the learning curve here is steep (in the best way). Each class ends with a 5-minute
meditation. So, it is a very well-rounded experience.

The Apprentice

Already certified and want to level up? Ahimsa’s six-month apprenticeship is where it’s at. Work one-on-one with John to refine your personal practice, deepen your yoga knowledge, and sharpen your teaching game. This program is unique to Poland and designed for teachers ready to go beyond surface-level training.

Wrapping up

At Ahimsa, it’s not just about mastering poses—it’s about mastering connection: to your mat, your community, and the world. Roll through, and let John show you what yoga’s really about.
