Moksha Yoga Sherwood Park

I love the atmosphere, the fireplace, the dim lighting in the room. Beautiful facility and this really helps to get to that point of relaxation I want to attain. The instructors are pretty good but definitely not the best I’ve ever seen. What would make this a 5 star in my books would be if the front desk staff were friendlier. Everywhere else I’ve been they are so friendly and welcoming, not here. No one will even greet you or say good bye. For me this is disappointing.

MYSP is bliss. I live in the river valley in Edmonton & make the drive 3 – 5 times a week, it is worth it!
All of the instructors are terrific, though of course as with anyone who frequents a place, I have a few favorites. I’ve tried and will do any f the class types happily; they offer 60 – 90 minutes in «warm/​lite» as well as hot. There is the Moksha series (each instructor has a tiny bit of their own flavor I used, but there is a core consistency you can expect), Yin, Powerflow & SATTVA.
I agree that there may be less savviness among some of the newer yogis when it comes to respecting the silence of the room, but they’ll get there. I love that the studio feels welcoming and accessible for new people to want to come and give it a try, that is what’s most important. We all started somewhere and should be patient while they work it out. It does not merit any drop in stars for me.
The showers here are gorgeous and you will want to wait the five minutes to use them if you happen to hit a particularly busy class. River rock floors with subway tile walls, perfect water pressure and the best smelling washes free for your use. They clean it between classes too, the place is spotless.
There is a ton of retail & if you forget your mat or towel, you can rent high quality ones fairly inexpensively. The water in the tap comes out ice cold, which I love when refilling on my way out after class. They’ve thought of just about everything. It is gorgeous, welcoming and the sense of community is truly lovely here.

Moksha yoga is fantastic. I’ve been going since they opened. I really enjoy the yin classes as well as the standard moksha classes. Each teacher has a different style and take on the class while still having a similar format and flow to the class. I do find that it is a little pricey, so I tend to wait for the 15% off sales to stock up on passes — those happen a few times a year. Also I find the 4.30 and 6 o’clock classes packed to the brim to I stick with the morning and noon classes

I have been a student of Hot yoga for a few years now, and a student of Moksha in particular for just over a year now. When I started, there was one studio in Edmonton that was increasingly busy as the practice gained a community. Another studio on the southside was opened last year, and now the most recent Moksha studio in the area, Moksha Sherwood Park in October, 2010.
Of all the studios I have been to, I have to say that this one is where I tend to have my best classes. The studio itself is gorgeous. As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted with calm lighting, clean white everywhere and a cool pouted concrete floor. The change rooms can get a bit crowded as one class is leaving and another is coming, but they are also spotlessly clean and modern. There are two studios with various classes running at various times. I often catch a 60 minute class 3 – 5 times a week with the odd 75 or 90 as well. There is also Mokshalite classes for beginners who want to ease into the heat, as well as Powerflow for those wanting an added challenge. The studio also offers Hot Ashtanga and Yin practice a few times a week as well.
The studios themselves offer calming music should the instructor choose to incorporate it. The main studio has a double sided fireplace which adds ambience to the already soothing space. There is a lounge outside the studios for those wanting to visit before class as the yoga rooms themselves are completely silent at all times.
I love this studio with a passion and really enjoy going there. It is receiving four stars though as it is a lot noisier than other Moksha studios I have been to as the community grows and newer people join and perhaps are not aware of yoga etiquette when they first join. I am sure this will iron out with time!
I highly recommend checking out their into special of 20 $/​1week unlimited and there are many payment/​class options ranging from 5 class passes to one year unlimited. The instructors are all GREAT as well as some offer one on one lessons for people wanting some extra help or just a class for themselves or a private group.
