If you’re feeling like your yoga practice is stuck in the dark ages, get enlightened with Moksha.
In Hinduism and Jainism, ‘moksha’ means the highest purpose of life. It’s an objective that’s best achieved through practice, patience, a lot of sweat and a forgiving pair of yoga pants.
Seasoned yogis and veritable noobs practice alongside one another thanks to attentive instructors and a series of movements designed to challenge all skill levels.
The Moksha sequence of postures was developed by Ted Grand in 2004. It’s a multi-disciplinary approach that blends Bikram, Iyengar and Restorative yoga. And it all takes place in a heated room - so come prepared to perspire.
Ted is also an organic farmer and environmental activist, ideals that have made their way into the Moksha franchise. Ethical and environmentally-conscious living is large part of the corporate mandate.
In the downtown Toronto studio, the neutral tones and dark hardwood give the space a modern and luxurious feel. Don’t be surprised to find yourself sticking around after your session. It’s common to see friends sharing tea in the studio’s lounge, before and after classes.
Community is a big part of the Moksha way of life. With 55 independent studios across North America, you’re never far away from a heated space and some friendly faces who speak your yoga language.
If you do find yourself outside of Moksha-land, you can buy classes, watch posture-improving videos and keep on top of events and seminars from their website.
You’re feeling more evolved already.
