Review from Clare L.
8/11/2011
Moksha Yoga embodies a lot of the basics in Yoga that seems lost in many different practices I have been to. First of all I love the idea of hot yoga, and I did practice before at Bikrams Yoga too but as I got older, and for someone like me who has various different physical illnesses, Moksha became very valuable to me.
I tried it as a suggestion from a friend of mine, who is now trained in Hatha Yoga. I asked her for some differences, and she said that it would be something I had to try, but she found it more spiritual. I wasn't entirely sure what she meant by that but now that I have been practicing there for over a year, I have a better understanding.
The teachers there are great. I got an introductory package for $20 and I was able to experience as many classes as I wanted to. There were different types of Yoga instructed in there. Moksha, Flow, Yin Yoga are the ones I stick with. Due to restrictions in my body (joints, bones etc.) it is not possible for me to perform all the moves, at first I was a bit shy to ask, but then I decided I wanted the most of my practice. The teachers there have always been very supportive of me, and showed me varieties of postures modified so I can get the same benefits. They took the time to talk to me, and spent time with me after class to work with me a bit to make sure I can do these postures.
Moksha is the first type of yoga that I can feel a great deal of cardio and strength, as well as setting my mind at ease. I found that I was able to really let go of my day and work through the poses and find an inner peace. I think this is what my friend means by spiritual.
As for the basics in Yoga, what I mean is that they give back to the community, they try to help make yoga available for everyone, and I didn't feel like I was just another dollar figure to them. They have Karma classes which makes the class only $5 to participate and they have a unique program available to trade working in the facilities for yoga classes. The ambience is perfect, with free tea available after, great showering facilities, and most important cleanliness (no carpeted floors here) -

Clean. The ladies manage this place well versus the location in Montreal. Avoid the Mtl location. Dirty is the word. Great instructors in NDG location.
Specialties
Moksha Yoga is a green, clean, hot yoga series that stretches, strengthens and tones the muscles while detoxifying the body and calming the mind - why not right? While all classes are rooted in the Moksha Yoga series, teachers are encouraged to bring their own unique knowledge and experience every time they enter the room to teach.
History
Established in 2008
Moksha Yoga is more than a series of postures. It began with the vision of two individuals and has since grown into a worldwide community with classes and studios around the globe.
We are a group of independent hot yoga studios committed to ethical, compassionate and environmentally conscious living, and believe that the benefits of yoga are limitless and accessible to all.
