You expect a lot from your yoga. You want a practice that both relaxes and energizes, that inspires but also calms the soul.  Well, we’ve got just the place – it’s cool but, you guessed it, it’s also hot, hot, hot.

Moksha Yoga was founded in 2004 by two Toronto-based yoga teachers to deliver a place where 40 poses executed in a hot room delivers on the demands of a complex practice.

An instant success, Moksha now boasts over 30 studios worldwide. What makes it so popular? It’s their belief that yoga is a path to overall wellbeing. They prescribe a way of life that encompasses a healthy, green, and community-based existence. Hypocrisy is not a part of their philosophy so they practice what they preach providing a clean and green environment to practice in.

Moksha Yoga studios are built with high eco-friendly standards. Lay your mat on the cork studio floors (said to prevent bacteria from entering the floor), wash your towels in the energy-efficient washers and dryers and breathe easy because the walls are covered in non-toxic, VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)-free paint.

And just in case the cost makes you break out in a cold sweat, Moksha offers $5 Fridays (at its Plateau-Mont-Royal location). That’s one hot deal.

No need to sweat the small stuff – save it for yoga.
