I'm Addicted.

It's official. I have an addiction.

I am absolutely, whole heartedly and utterly addicted to Moksha Yoga. I've been practicing Yoga in general for about 7 years but it has only been within the past four months where my casual practice has become a full fledge addiction.

I can get enough of Moksha! Moksha Yoga is a relatively new studio in Ottawa and my favourite to visit. All of Moksha's classes are hot. And I mean HOT. Not for the faint of heart or for those who favour a cooler climate - at Moksha you will sweat from every pore and orifice while twisting, bending, lunging and breathing deeper than you could have imagined you could.

There is something about building muscle and toning naturally through the resistance of your own body, which sweating out toxins and garbage that I've ingested throughout the day. The idea of taking each session at your own pace and listening to your body while never, ever feeling pressures to do more or work harder, is what fuels my addiction.

I rave about the benefits of Yoga to all my clients. Whether in a hot room or not, Yoga is one of the best compliments to any exercise regime. It promotes strength building, weight loss or gain (depending on your goal), pain relief, greater flexibility, improved V02 max due to the increased lung capacity from all that deep breathing and the chance to meet inspiring and motivational instructors from across the City. Ottawa hosts some incredible studios with world class instructors and its worth experiencing if you haven't already.

Below are a list of links which I'd recommend checking out if your are remotely interested in practicing Yoga or just giving it a test run. You won't regret it!

Yours in health,
Jenna
