I decided to come and visit Moksha Yoga Danforth on a nice Monday afternoon for their Community Class at 2:00 PM.
It is an Anusara Inspired Reduced heat yoga class and the cost is $5 for 90 minute. This is the first Anusara Inspired class I ever took, as I don't really know what to expect.
From the website "Anusara is an elegant practice based on Universal Principles of Alignment and following a heart-centered Tantric philosophy. Expect detailed instruction in the alignment of each pose and transition, within a class that holds the spiritual purposes of praticing yoga as paramount. Reduced heat. Suitable for all levels."
Hmmm does it sounded a little boring when they talk about spirtual, philosophy and this or that?? And it is suitable for all levels... will it be another those chanting class doing easy poses?? I was in for a surprise.
The instructor is one of the best I ever have in any Moksha studios!! She is so patient and encouraging giving instructions in a calm and soothing voices. The class was challenging with non stop flow...with no breaks!! Though it is a reduced heat class, I was dripping in sweat... drip drip drip on my mat!! The poses are more challenging than their usual Moksha series. A mixture of hand balancing poses and a lot of hip openers. And of course I did learn something about muscle energy VS organic energy and trying to get their balance.... ok ok no more blahing...
Though the practice room was a little runned down! But I definitely be back for another CC Anusura Yoga class!
