To paraphrase Zen master: regarding philosophy especially, it would be a mistake to confuse the means with the goal.

Our new name THREE BOONS YOGA is drawn from the ancient Katha Upanishad, in which a young seeker of Truth seeks Freedom. His dedication is of the strongest kind. And he is committed to put in all the effort it takes on this journey, which is not one like any other, but a journey deep into one’s own Self.


In ancient times, when someone was deeply dedicated to Truth, they were, in certain cases, granted boons - wishes - that would have to be fulfilled under any circumstances by the granter of it. So also here, Naciketas, the hero of the story, was granted three boons.

With his first boon, he asks for peace with his family, the second boon is the knowledge of how to find heaven in one’s own heart, and with the third boon he wants the secret of life and death, which no one knows, to be revealed to him.

The first two boons are easily fulfilled. But the granter of the boons, Yama himself, is trying to avoid to fulfill the third boon by distracting and tricking Naciketas with all kinds of seemingly more enjoyable things, hoping Naciketas would lose his focus and forget why he originally went on his journey and what he was searching for.

Whatever we seek, we nourish. But too easily, we lose our focus. And so we never really get closer to what our hearts are truly seeking. This way, we mostly end up settling for all kinds of mundane or superficial things, expecting peace and happiness to come to us from the outside, when really it is our own True Nature.

The third boon in the story is the answer to the secret of life. It is the path of Yoga that we all walk with our own practices and efforts.

The yoga practices are designed to purify the body, senses, mind, intellect and sense of self, creating the centeredness, calmness and one-pointedness directed to the Truth within one’s own being, the experience of the Oneness of Self. To experience it, is to be it. This is called Freedom.

Because Naciketas was not distracted and stayed serious about his quest for the meaning of life, the Truth was revealed to him. Each one of us has the potential to be like Naciketas in the Katha Upanishad: Not to be satisfied with just living superficially, but seeking to understand the deeper meaning behind everything. When each one of us stays committed to this process of self-inquiry and to bringing all aspects of our personality in alignment with the peace that we truly are, we will be able to realize our full potential.

Three Boons Yoga Berlin is here to support teachers and students alike to raise their consciousness and awareness through their own efforts and dedication to their practice, empowering them to embody peace - which is our true nature.

Formerly known as Jivamukti Yoga Berlin, our two yoga studios in Mitte and Kreuzberg have been independent Jivamukti Yoga schools since 2009 and 2011 respectively, offering, at (pre-Corona) times, up to 150 yoga classes a week. The vast majority of these classes have been Jivamukti Yoga classes, and the vast majority of our teachers have been Jivamukti Yoga teachers, some of the best-trained and most experienced out there.
