MokSana is pleased to be offering a month-long Yoga Immersion in June and July of 2013.

The intention of our Yoga Immersion is to deepen your practice and empower you with knowledge by steeping you in the theory and diverse practices of yoga for a full month.

You will receive the personalized attention and opportunity to diaglogue about yogic practices in a way that is not always possible in drop-in classes and leave the program with the ability to safely and intelligently modify/progress in your practice whether attending drop-in classes or practicing at home.
