Moksha Yoga East Vancouver

My favourite studio by far. The staff are are kind and the instructors are passionate but not pushy.

Moksha! makes me think of mochi… then i get hungry.
anyway, yoga! yes, this place is great. i have done the yoga rounds in this city. mainly because i’m fickle and i like intro deals and yoga comes in and out of my life to help support other activities. but this place is awesome.
i signed up for the intro deal ($ 40 for 1 month unlimited) and found that i REALLY liked it. to date i’ve only tried «moksha» and «yin» (i.e. not the flow class) and really like it. it’s a nice mix of challenging and easy. i found Bikram a bit intense and this is a nice step back from it. much more chill.
the teachers are great too!
i do have two comments though… the women’s change room door kinda angles into the lobby so i maaaay have bared my buns to people at the front desk! a curtain or something would be great. also, the space to relax after class is a bit out of the way and the cushions are cloth so i need to change/​shower before, then i’m sweating in my clothes… some other studios have a space just outside the door to chill with cool water which is nice.
anyhoo, i like that this place is in my neighborhood so i’ll probably keep going after my intro pass expires. yay moksha!

Can’t say enough about this place – it’s filled with kind people who are dedicated to their yoga practice. Loved the quiet of the studio combined with the friendliness of the front desk. Thank you Moksha! I will definitely be back whenever I’m in Vancouver

What a beautiful space! It lives up to all the highest Moksha standards for an ecologically friendly studio, but has all sorts of personal touches (hand-​made, up-​cycled hand towels, a games/​arts and crafts area next to the tea area, bamboo flooring and an adorable resident puppy!). And, its owners and teachers are among the nicest yogi (ni)s Van has going for it! Check it out ASAP :)

I moved to Vancouver in September so I have only been going to this studio for three months. Despite our short relationship, I adore this place. I used to go to Modo Yoga in NYC and before that the Moksha studio in Montréal and Toronto. Moksha East Van is simply wonderful. Every time I walk in I instantly feel happier, energized and more peaceful. The instructors are all incredibly friendly and dedicated. The studio itself is very clean and the room always sits right around 37 degrees. The classes with live music are transformative, I assure you. I love them. I actually just finished the 30 day challenge, and it was a wonderful experience. I owe this studio a serious debt of gratitude.
Whether you are brand new to Moksha or are a veteran «hot yogi,» I highly recommend this studio. You won’t regret it! Join this awesome community — you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Signed up for a one month trial membership with an online special for only $ 36 (reg $ 40). The facilities are nice and clean. They have everything you need like clean showers (with soap dispenser), filtered water, community events (saw a poster for a clothing swap today) and they even had some treats at the counter the other day. Not to mention there is lots of free street parking close by.
The actual yoga room has one window which provides a decent amount of natural lighting. Depending on who leads the sessions, sometime they blast cool air for a few seconds or open a window near the end which is a really refreshing treat.
Tried Moksha with music last night and it was amazing. There was a guy on his guitar singing in the corner sweating along with us. He had a beautifully soothing voice.
In a nutshell: This place isn’t fancy like Y yoga but it’s clean and has everything you need. 5 stars.

This studio has a great community atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and the facility itself is nice and clean. The instructor I have had (on three different occasions) were all warm and welcoming people.

Great live music classes. Great showers. Great people. Great atmosphere. Namaste.

I love this place, granted I have only been twice so far, I still love it. First off, it is not as hot and regimented as bikrams. The instructors allow for more variation and listening to your body. Also, if they notice that you are slightly dying from the heat they will lower the heat or open a window — who would have thought?
Great space, great instructors, I think I may have finally found a great yoga fit for me.

Coming from a person who, until very recently, shunned yoga for all it’s yoginess, MYEV changed my mind!
I am now a proud yogi!
What I like about this studio is the sense of community. It’s just a cool place to hang out. Huge windows in the front for a seating area and small library. Lots of interactive and fun hang out events are frequently held to inspire people to live healthier, happier lives. And really? Isn’t that what it’s all about? Forget the yogi bull shit, just breathe and have a good life in whatever way suits you!
I also enjoy the variety in each class. Each teachers teaches their class in a different and interesting way so you always are learning something new.
The location is perfect. I highly recommend trying out a class!
PS. Sometimes there are treats. Yes, treats. Oh! And there is always tea. Tea is awesome.

gentler than bikrams and not quite as hot. nice class variation from instructor to instructor. the location is convenient for me and the studio is nice and well kept. the staff is super friendly and approachable and i especially like that the majority of the instructors offer different variations on the trickier poses for those of us that are athletically challenged.
so why not 5 stars? only 2 classes each week are the full 90 minutes and there are only 3 classes on saturdays and sundays (the west side location offers 5 classes sat, 6 on sun, and offers one 90 min class nearly every day). the weekend classes get crowded. there is one silent class offered each week and one yin class, both of which i really enjoy but can’t always attend. maybe one more weekly offering of each of those would be appreciated. also, there are no lockers. i don’t bring my wallet because of this, but that isn’t always practical if i have errands to run after a class.
overall, still a big recommend. keep up the good work!

If you’re into only hot yoga, Moksha would be one of the top spots to check out. They’re not just about yoga, they’re about living the whole natural lifestyle, being healthy, and leading a green example, hence the garden out front of the space.
I find a lot of yoga studies are too commercial, focusing on crazy retail in your face. Its good to see a yoga spot that’s in business for the sake of Yoga. From what I’ve heard its cooler than Bikrams, but its still hot ! Great staff, super friendly and genuine.
Best of all reasonably priced for an unlimited membership !

I’ll simply echo the other reviews — great place, close to home in East Van. We’ve gone three times in the last week and are quite happy. Namaste.

This is my new favorite place to get sweaty! In the up and coming FraWay (fraser /​kingsway) neighbourhood, near les faux bourgious, collage collage, matchstick coffee, heartbreaker salon, and lions den… This hot yoga studio has a huge and open entrance/​lounge, super friendly staff, rain showers (!!!), and great teachers. For those who think bikrams is gross because of the carpet (yuk!), do not worry… Hot moksha yoga has a cleanable floor that is cleaned between every class. Finally a place in EAST VAN to do hot yoga! For those that have done it before I do not have to convince you… but those new to hot yoga, give it a try! I thought I would hate it because I hate sweating… but you feel absolutely amazing after. Good for the skin too. See you there.
