As far as the class is concerned, and I'm not simply saying this because I know and like Erin, it was wonderful. The studio is beautifully zen and spacious in it's decor and layout, frankly a joy after the packed-in-like-sardines experience at Hot Yoga on 17th the previous night.
The yoga class and it's sequence stayed closer to what I would call traditional hatha yoga with some Surya Namaskars or Sun Salutations added into the mix. The asanas or poses weren't named differently just for the sake of being different. The pace allowed for longer holds of the poses and frankly, made this Moksha class more of a challenge physically for me then the Bikram-esque class I attended the night before. Not because of the heat but because the sequence of poses didn't allow for unneccesary breaks in the flow of the class. Demonstrations and cues were clear and and easy to follow. The class was well-rounded in it's inclusion of poses from each group (i.e., standing, twisting, forward bends, and backbends). The final Savasana or Corpse Pose was lengthy enough to allow for a proper relaxation period as the end fo it all. Surprisingly, students were told to come out of Savasana when ready but I always prefer to be guided out. A small criticism but one which I think it's important as how you practice Savasana sets the tone for how one feels after class.
Regardless, I would recommend any yogi check out the Moksha Yoga Calgary studio. A true gem in SE Calgary.
