Moksha Yoga differs in the following ways:
Complete workout. On a physical level Moksha is a comprehensive workout that focuses on upper and lower body strength, balance and flexibility. Moksha also focuses on opening the hips where lower back and knee pain often originate. The intensity of the workout can be adjusted for any body type or fitness level.
Accessibility. Anyone can practice Moksha Yoga because our instructors are trained in the modifications to make Moksha practice safe for any fitness level or body type. And through our Karma Yoga Classes, one's finances need not be a barrier to a regular practice.
Community. In addition to making hot yoga more accessible through our Karma Yoga Classes, we work actively with local charities by providing regular donations and offering free yoga instruction in underserved areas.
Care for the environment. All Moksha studios are built with sustainable and non-toxic supplies, lights and heating systems are low consumption, and all studios are cleaned with environmentally friendly products. We also donate monthly to Zero Footprint, an organization that measures the environmental impact of our studios and directs us on how to best offset our 'carbon footprint' through donations to environmental protection groups.
Oui, absolument. La série de mouvements est composée de positions exigeantes qui maintiennent un rythme cardiaque élevé.
Vous n'avez pas besoin d'être souple pour pratiquer le yoga. Il s'agit d'une discipline qui n'est pas compétitive. En fait, le moins vous êtes flexible, le plus vous serez en mesure de voir les résultats de votre nouvelle pratique. De plus, la salle chauffée permet un meilleur étirement des muscles.
Oui. Les étudiants qui pratiquent sur une base régulière remarquent que leur corps devient plus musclé et plus en forme. De plus, le yoga Moksha améliore le fonctionnement des principaux systèmes du corps ce qui entraîne une plus grande santé et une plus grande vitalité.
Hot Yoga is great for most people, however it is contraindicated under the following circumstances.
Pregnancy. Women in their first trimester of pregnancy, unless they have kept up a regular hot yoga practice for at least 6 months, are recommended to stay out of the heated room.
Heart Disease. Those suffering from severe heart disease that limits cardiovascular activity should consult their doctor about being in a heated environment.
Children. It is best that hot yoga is practiced only after the child's sweat glands have developed - usually around a girl's first menstruation or a boy's growth spurt.
Bring a beach-size towel, water and yoga mat (Mats are also available for purchase, click here). Clothing that is light and comfortable is best... Since the aim is to sweat during the class, it is advisable to bring a change of top for after class. For more information about what to bring and how to prepare, click here.
The Moksha series is 90 minutes long. However, some studios do offer a 60-minute class for those on the go. There is no need to register in advance. Unless indicated, all classes are on-going and drop-in.
