Jivamukti Yoga
"Jivamukti Yoga is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. The Jivamukti Method is grounded in the original meaning of the Sanskrit word Asana as 'seat, connection' - relationship to the Earth. Earth implies all of life." So I can become enlightened by practicing Jivamukti?! ...Maybe! ;)
