Our studio has two practice rooms - one is a hot room (heated to approximately 37C), the other room is room temperature where we offer classes in various traditions of yoga.

Live Music Class

Yogis of all ages are invited to listen, stretch and breathe in our Live Music Class. The live music will be provided by...you! Do you sing? Do you play an instrument?

Contribute to the strengthening of our community by sharing your talent. This 60 minute, reduced heat Moksha class will be the setting for all to shed boundaries around what is commonly considered 'yoga music'. If interested in offering, please contact the studio and provide the details of your musical talent. Class is offered by donation with all proceeds given to the Regent Park School of Music. Join us at 7pm on the last Saturday of each month.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS (HEATED)

Moksha (90 minute) - The Moksha yoga series - 40 postures practiced in a heated room - works to stretch, strengthen and tone the muscles while detoxifying the body and calming the mind.

Moksha (60 minute) - The Moksha yoga series, shortened to one hour. Each pose is practiced only once.

Moksha Flow (75 minute) -  Combines the regular Moksha series with Sun Salutations.

Moksha Flow w/ Music -75 minute class that combines music with the regular Moksha series and Sun Salutations.

Karma Class (90 minute) - Offers the regular Moksha yoga series at a reduced cost - by donation only, minimum $5.00 (all proceeds go to charity).  This class is suitable for students of all levels. Read more about this months charity.

Community Class (90 minute) - The regular Moksha series taught by recent graduates from the Moksha Yoga Teacher Training program. Free for students that hold unlimited passes, otherwise cost is $5.00.  Suitable for students of all levels; a great opportunity for students and teachers to share their knowledge and experience with one another. Feedback for the learning teacher is encouraged!

Silent (60 minute) - The silent class is the traditional Moksha Yoga series, practiced in silence. The class is guided, without verbal instruction, by an instructor practicing the series at the front of the room. The class allows the student to explore the depths of their own practice by providing an opportunity to investigate the sensations of the body and the breath more fully. It is a chance to really feel the practice without auditory distraction.  This class is best suited for students who are familiar with the series.

Silent w/ Music (90 minute) - Music accompanies this silently-led Moksha class, guided (without verbal instruction) by an instructor practicing the series at the front of the room. Students have the opportunity to be their own guide, allowing their breah to take take their practice to a deeper level. The added music creates an atmosphere that can be both soothing and invigorating. Some say the music helps them escape to a more meditative zone, thereby counterbalancing potential distractions - both outside the body and inside the mind. This class is best suited for students who are familiar with the series.

Moksha/Yin (60 minute) - This 60-minute class will blend standing poses from the Moksha sequence with gentle Yin postures.  Yin poses focus on long holds to stretch deep muscle tissue and fascia, and are either seated or recline.  Suitable for all levels.

Level 2 (75 minute) - For those students who have practiced the Moksha series for at least 20 classes, the Level 2 classes are a venue for students to challenge their practice. The regular Moksha series acts as a frame for the class, while new and more advanced postures give the class a new and exciting flavour. Each Level 2 instructor adds their own flare, thus no two Level 2 classes will be the same. Expect longer holds, more meditation, increased breath work, advanced concepts and a great way to shake up your practice. Not suited for beginners.

Shaking Meditation (60 minute) - In reduced heat, expect a challenging and dynamic session involving static 'shaking', standing in stillness, and finishing with savassana...all set to a beautiful and exciting custom soundtrack. An extraordinary method of releasing mental, physical and emotional stress that will invigorate the nervous system and allow for deeper energetic investigation.

Live Music Class (60 minute)- The live music will be provided by...you! Do you sing? Do you play an instrument? The Live Music Class is not so much a chance to perform as it is an opportunity to serve your fellow students with the gift of sound. Contribute to the strengthening of our community by sharing your talent. Reduced heat Moksha class will be the setting for all to shed boundaries around what is commonly considered 'yoga music'. If interested in offering, please contact the studio and provide the details of your musical talent. Class is offered by donation with all proceeds given to the Regent Park School of Music. Join us at 7pm on the last Saturday of each month.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS (NON-HEATED)

Ashtanga (90 minute) -  This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. This class will introduce the practice of Ashtanga Yoga allowing students to build a strong foundation. Suitable for all levels.

Hatha Flow (90minute) -Hatha Flow involves using breath to move from one posture to another creating a movement-oriented class (vinyasa). Variations on the Sun Salutation will be used as a warm-up, followed by a standing sequence, balancing poses, seated poses, and ending with relaxation (savasana). The class will explore various
elements of Yoga including postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation.

Restorative Flow (90/60 minute) -  Restorative Flow is a luxurious yoga practice incorporating gentle movement and restorative stillness to create a class that is deeply nourishing. Within each class, both strong and gentle hatha yoga postures will be blended with relaxing and restorative poses into a meditative flow.

Vinyasa Flow (90 minute) - Vinyasa Flow is an invigorating 90-minute class focused on moving consistently from pose to pose with the breath.  The Vinyasa Flow practice works vigorously with sun salutations, standing poses and a wide variety of floor poses including backbends and inversions. The focus is on the breath, alignment in the poses and continuous movement throughout the class. Suitable for all levels.

Yin (60 minute) - A gentle practice focused on long holds designed to stretch deep muscle tissue and fascia. All poses are seated or reclined. A great compliment to your regular practice. Suitable for all levels.
