Who Loves Sweaty People?
Rated this place:
So it's been a while since I've dropped in for a class here, basically the only reason being that I moved out of that 'hood and into another on the other side of the city. But the yoga classes at Moksha Danforth got me through the last two winters. Moksha Yoga is one version of "hot yoga" the hot part being the room which is heated to about 40 degrees celcius. If you are a person that easily overheats you will probably find this style of yoga extremely uncomfortable. It probably more suits those who are prone to cold and/or love the heat. The basic class is 75 minutes of held postures (hatha style I believe...but it's called the moksha series) with progression into deepening of each pose. You will sweat profusely. Be prepared with a large bottle of water and a towel or two (one for your mat so you don't slip and another to occasionally wipe yourself down). You're encouraged to lie down if you feel at all dizzy or light headed. I like the studio space, though the practice room is nothing special. Efforts are made to be light on the environment... cork flooring, VOC-free paint, recycled carpet and non-toxic cleaning products to name a few. It can get quite jammed in the ladies change room between classes, sometimes it's best to go early to avoid the crowds.
