A satsang is a community gathering. A kirtan is a session of devotional chanting. Amy is awesome- think Ani DeFranco gets yoga-fied. She is feisty and eloquent, edgy and soothing at the same time. She is touring and promoting her latest album, Give Up the Fight. To hear a sample check out her website www.myspace.com/amythiessen. The show/kirtan is by donation.
Information coming soon!
As part of ongoing efforts to embrace Sustainability here at Moksha Yoga Victoria, we are undergoing an assessment with the help of Small Feet Inc. to better understand the environmental footprint of our studio.
One of the key areas we're looking at is the transportation of students and staff to the studio - how far are people traveling to get here and what mode of transport are they taking?
To better answer this question we've created a simple survey for you to complete
To sweeten the deal, everyone who completes this survey will be entered into a prize draw for a three month unlimited pass to Moksha! The Draw will take place on September 15th. Please complete the survey now and enter for your chance to WIN!
Catch the wave!! Starting on the first Monday of May join Brad Morris a co-founder of Gratadudes for a surfers approach to meditation. Brad enthusiastically shares his gifts to inspire others to experience the magic of life through living in a constant state of gratitude, Self Awareness, and purposeful passion.
Starting Mondays at 7:12pm
Duration: 60 minutes

 Moksha Yoga Victoria has chosen to bullfrogpower with 100% green electricity. Bullfrog PowerTM is a leading Canadian green power provider. Bullfrog’s green power producers inject the same amount of power that we use back into the provincial electricity grid. Bullfrog sources power exclusively from emissions-free sources, such as wind and low-impact hydro generators that meet or exceed the federal government’s Environmental ChoiceM Program EcoLogoM standard for renewable electricity. Bullfrog provides businesses, non-profits and consumers with a new way to support renewable power.
Choosing green power is a practical and meaningful way for an organization to reduce its environmental impact. Electricity generation is a leading industrial source of carbon dioxide, a primary greenhouse gas linked to climate change, as well as other emissions that contribute to poor air quality. By choosing clean, renewable power, Moksha Yoga will reduce its carbon footprint, help clean up our air quality, and support the development of renewable energy.

The Energy Exchange Program at Moksha Yoga Victoria is unique and very special both to the studio and the members of the energy exchange itself. It works like this: For 3-4 hours of volunteer work, same day and time once a week, in exchange for unlimited classes. It's a great way to get to know your teachers and a good way to get your foot in the door should you be interested in salaried positions as they arise. We do require that applicants maintain a consistent yoga practice.

- What is a 30-Day Challenge?
- Why participate in a 30-Day Challenge?
- What are the benefits of a regular yoga practice?
- Is it healthy to practice hot yoga daily?
- I will be away during the 30-Day Challenge. What happens if I miss a class?

- How should I prepare for the challenge?
Participants in a 30-Day Challenge dedicate themselves to practice yoga every day for 30 consecutive days.
There are many reasons to participate in the 30-Day Challenge!
The 30-Day Challenge provides participants with the support and motivation of community. As a group, participants are united and driven by their common goal.
The studio provides an orientation, tips, and workshops to assist you. Teachers and staff are available to address concerns, advice, or simply listen.
Yoga has many benefits - physiological, mental and emotional. By committing to a daily practice, those benefits unfold at a more rapid rate.
And if you complete all 30 classes in 30 days, your name will be entered into a draw. Prizes include three 1 Month Unlimited passes and a 1 hour therapeutic massage.
Yoga involves stretching, strengthening, and elongating the spine for proper alignment of the vertebrae. The breathing techniques and relaxation lower blood pressure, increase cardiovascular health, increase lung capacity, release tension and stress, and teach us to relax and enjoy life.
Other benefits of yoga include:
- Cardiovascular efficiency increases
- Respiratory efficiency increases
- Gastrointestinal function normalizes
- Endocrine function normalizes
- Musculoskeletal flexibility and joint range of motion increase
- Posture improves
- Strength and resiliency increase
- Endurance increases
- Energy level increases
- Sleep improves
- Immunity increases
- Balance improves
- Awareness increases
- Mood improves and subjective well-being increases
- Self-acceptance and self-actualization increase
- Concentration improves
Traditionally, yoga was meant as a daily practice. In taking on a daily practice safely, there are some key things to take note of:
Listen to your body. Respond to your body’s signals. If you increase body awareness, and your ability to listen to that awareness, the 30 days will be a great success!
Pace yourself.
Ask teachers about adjustments for specific needs (injuries, using props, etc).
Take savasana before and after class for at least 5 minutes.
Stay hydrated.
Replenish your electrolytes.
Get lots of sleep.
Have fun! Let go of judgment or evaluation, and invite a sense of levity to your challenge.
You have a number of options in the event that you miss a class. You may double-up another day to make up for missed classes. You can practice at another studio. Or, being a personal challenge, you can accept the missed class and continue on (you will not be eligible for the draw, and yet, you will still benefit from a dedicated practice).
The majority of the classes must be done at Moksha Yoga Victoria. However, classes done at other studios will count towards the challenge.
You may participate in any class on the schedule.
It is best to set an intention for your challenge. Why are you doing it? What is it that you want to come of the challenge?
Plan what classes fit into your regular schedule. Identify possible obstacles, and pre-plan your strategy for overcoming these obstacles.
Tell your close friends and family about your challenge. Get them on board to offer support and motivation.
