| - For those who think yoga has to be super hot and full of fluid movement, get yourself over to Moga! This type of instruction is akin to making a perfect risotto...low and slow. And I mean that in the best possible way. I also like risotto. Just sayin'.
The owners Emily and Beth are great athletes - CrossFit aficionados and runners extraordinaire. Thus, when you head into this gorgeous, light filled studio at Atherton Lofts, expect a class full of refreshing movements. The class I dropped in for was the "Refresh and Renew." This is not bust-your-ass yoga, this is stretch your super sore limbs and try to relax yoga. It's improve your mobility yoga. It's also worth noting that the instructors will focus on one anatomical body area each month - this month it's hips. These hips were grateful...and these hips don't lie, yo.
The instruction is straightforward and lighthearted and very few (if any) Sanskrit terms are used...and, frankly, that's refreshing on its own. Adjustments via the instructors were on the light side, both in number and pressure, but I imagine this will develop as the student attends more classes. And as for accessories and materials to help you into the poses, Moga has access to a plethora of mats, blocks, straps, and blankets!
New students can take advantage of a sweet class deal, so hop to it and get your Moga on. You too can feel stretchy like and limber after just a class or two!
