I’ve always enjoyed yoga. When I found Moksha Yoga, a studio dedicated to yoga, I was excited. I had taken classes at the gym, but it is not the same as taking a class from a yogi who has been trained specifically in this art. Plus, the entire studio at Moksha Yoga is peaceful, relaxing and ‘green’. The facility is energy efficient, uses green cleaning products and makes use of many recycled materials.
It is very different than walking off the weight room floor, or cardio theater, into a tiled exercise room to do yoga to new age music with strains of gym music in the background. Attending a class at Moksha Yoga is a peaceful and rejuvenating experience from the moment you walk in the door and take off your shoes, to the final ‘Savasana’ of your practice.
According to Moksha Yoga Northern Kentucky, hot Moksha yoga “stretches, strengthens and tones the muscles while detoxifying the body and calming the mind.”
I started with a class once a week and even that 75 minutes left my mind feeling calmer through out the week and my body leaner. Trust me. I have three crazy kids. That yoga class helped keep me sane! The hot class is also fantastic for your skin. Moksha Yoga also offers classes for kids and expectant mothers.
Check out the different types of classes and corresponding schedules on the Moksha Yoga Northern Kentucky or Cincinnati websites.
Speaking of kids, my younger two (ages 6 and 4) loved the kids class. They learned basic poses while I attended an hour long yoga class in the next room. My 6 year old even stopped in the parking lot after to lay on the sidewalk and show me his favorite pose. The Northern Kentucky location offers classes for younger kids, while older ones may take classes at the Cincinnati studio.

I just had my son 11 weeks ago, and I am slowly getting back into an active routine. My 3 yr old and I do yoga at home, she asks if we can “play” yoga. My favorite pose is pigeon, my daughter’s is triangle. :-).
Quite simple.. I love downward facing dog cause i can do it anywhere and push deeper into it for a great stretch.

I would love to win a free month of yoga! I am a runner and my body feels so much better when I add yoga to my routine. I also think it would be awesome to include my 5 yr old son in my workouts. What a great way to introduce a healthy lifestyle! [email protected]
My favorite pose is dancers pose.
it makes me feel like I’m soaring, light and lithe, and at the same time, strong, rooted and stable.
As a mom of two boys thats the balance I strive for every day.
Lol thought i had to respond seperatly for my kids. I have a 6yr old daughter but would actually love thia for my 11yr old son to help him learn his sense of body & controle. Hes prepubesent and as a single mom i thought this kind thing might help.

I have always wanted to try yoga. My special needs son would benefit from something like this.
My sons have picked up my love for yoga. It’s one of our special times together when we pull out our mats and do a series together. They are really young and both have been going to their mats since pre-k.
Its an interest we share, we enjoy and I get to enjoy with them, and hopefully it will never get old.

Favorite pose – its hard to narrow down but I love downward dog for the stretch and corpse because its at the end and I always feel relaxed and accomplished.
I love the tree pose!
I would love this for myself and any one of my four children. With a 7,6, 5 , and 2 year old… who doesn’t need a stress reliever.

I’d love to win a month free of yoga. I love hot yoga, and though both my kids like yoga, I’d like to share it with my 7 year old daughter as something we can do together.
1. Because I really need to find a way to help me relax. Also being able to connect in with one on one time with my kids would be so awesome!!
Never tried it. Would love to do some relaxation for myself.

I would love to share Yoga with my children. They had a wonderful preschool/kindergarden school music teacher who once a week taught them yoga poses. And lord knows my arthritic knees good benefit from it.

I have a 16 month and a 3 year old, and I need some Mommy time to relax and reconnect with myself! I think my 3 year old would enjoy the kids class where he could learn to do things like Mommy.
