Jivan Mukta (J. F. Lafontaine) was born in Santiago de Chile in 1977. From a young age, he felt drawn to the spiritual realm. At 22, he embarked on a daily practice of Yoga, prayer, and meditation. Three years later, he became a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor (2003). He also earned dual degrees as a Political Scientist (2001) and Historian (2002). In Santiago, he worked as a teaching assistant and later as a professor at various universities. In 2003, he moved to Spain for postgraduate studies in Comparative Religions at Complutense University of Madrid. By 2005, he had settled in Finland.
While in Finland, he delved into teaching Yoga, healing while experiencing the growth of his family. He founded the Finnish Kundalini Yoga Association (2006) and developed the Meditative Healing Program (2011). During this period, he also studied Astrology under the guidance of Erkki Lehtiranta, a known Finnish astrologer and writer. In 2016, he completed and published his research on 3HO in the Light of Experience earning a PhD in Studies of Religions from the University of Helsinki. He lectured on Sikhism at the university and in 2019, relocated to the Canary Islands.
Jivan Mukta is a teacher, writer, and spiritual guide, seamlessly blending his scholarly background with the healing insights of Kundalini yoga and Meditative Healing. With a unique grasp of human metaphysics and biomechanics, he imparts his knowledge through online courses, Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, and the Meditative Healing Program. He masterfully guides the space of transformation, empowerment and healing where people get aligned, healthy and transformed. Jivan Mukta has also released mantra singles as part of an album called “My Mind is Thine”.
