About

Our Philosophy

The Moving Mantra Yoga Studio seeks to create a loving, nurturing and safe environment to support inward journeys. As teachers, we hope to facilitate the exploration of the body, mind and spirit from a place of loving self acceptance and non judgment. Moving Mantra Yoga teaches from the traditional eight limbed system which integrates positive attitudes towards the self and others, the physical practice including asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), understanding and controlling the chatter of the mind, developing concentration, cultivating relaxation and learning simple meditation techniques. We adopt a loving, authentic approach to the practice by honoring each student's individual needs, limitations, curiosities and strengths. In the true spirit of Yoga, we hope to foster a sense of community amongst students, teachers, and our community.

What Is Yoga?

Yoga is an ancient system of self development which integrates the elements of the physical, mental and spiritual.

The word yoga means to yoke, or unite. There are several limbs of yoga, with our main focus being on asana, or physical postures and movement, pranayama, or working with the breath, and meditation.

The regular practice of yoga will help develop a clear, bright mind, and a strong, capable body.

The practice of asana and pranayama prepares the body and mind for meditation, which allows for inner silence and connection with the inner spirit, and healing from everyday stress.
