Moksha Yoga Edmonton

Angela Zawada was going to school in Edmonton on a volleyball scholarship at the University of Alberta when she first discovered yoga. “It was challenging but I found it to be very easy on my joints, which was important for my volleyball career,” says Angela. When she graduated from university, the aspiring athlete, who was originally from Ontario, started to explore her new passion even more. “After university, I saw many studios that were changing from bikram yoga to moksha yoga, and I fell in love with the practice,” she says.  During a visit to her home in Ontario, she tried out moksha yoga and was hooked, so she travelled to Thailand for training and set up Moksha Yoga Edmonton shortly after she returned.

Moksha yoga is a specific type of yoga that’s always performed in a warm environment. But, according to Angela, moksha is about more than the temperature of the room. “Moksha is based on seven pillars. Education, accessibility, community involvement and being green are all a part of it,” says Angela. “Moksha is meant to be with you in your life, on and off the mat.”
