    An In-Class Private™ (ICP) may be the best yoga class you’ve ever taken. During a regular class, a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher individually assists you throughout, refining and adding depth to your practice. In their skillful hands, you are comfortably guided through every movement of the class experience.
