What is Yoga
The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit. We think of the union occuring between mind, body and spirit. The practice of physical postures or poses that we refer to as yoga can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word "asana" Asana, the physical practice of yoga, is only one of the eight "limbs" of yoga. The remaining limbs are yama (ethical discplines), niyama (self observation), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samdhi (a state of joy and peace). Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sustras, described the eight limbs of yoga as a tree of wisdom and sirituality unfold in the same manner as tree grows.
"99% Practice and 1% Theory"
— K. Pattabhi Jois
"Vinyasa is a natural sequence unfolding with creative intelligence, a conscious evolution connecting each moment
with unifying breath. We explore embodying a living yoga in full spectrum - sun to the moon, wild to sublime,
fullness to simplicity, action and being.
There is yoga for everyone."
— Shiva Rae
"Ashtanga may be utilized as a method of keeping physically fit or it
may be traversed as a pathway to explore
subtle realms of spirituality."
— David Swenson
"The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean
for the soul to reside in it."

Frequently Asked Questions
What class type or level is appropriate for me?
Moksha Yoga Studio offers many classes in various traditions. Most of our classes are open to all levels. Our teachers
focus on making the class accessable yet challenging for all students. New students may also choose a beginner class
to introduce themselves to the foundations of the ashtanga/vinyasa practice. We recommend trying different teachers
and styles to find what works best for you.
How should I prepare for class and what should I bring?
It is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach, so we suggest not eating for about two hours before class or a half
hour after a light snack. Wear comfortable breathable clothing which does not restrict movement. Practice is done
barefoot. Mats and all other props are provided for use in the studio if you do not have your own. Bring water or
we have water for sale in the boutique. You may want to bring a small towel and be prepared to sweat!
