People holding yoga poses typically seek self-discipline and control, whereas those holding yoga posters just want Sting’s autograph. Find peace while standing still with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a yoga class for two at Moksha Yoga Minneapolis (up to a $34 value). Moksha Yoga Minneapolis’s experienced yogis twist torsos in hot yoga classes practiced in cork-floor rooms set at temperatures upward of 100 degrees. Grab a friend, relative, or flexible CPR dummy and drop in the Moshka yoga class—a cardio workout that launches the body into a journey of 40 poses in a combination of therapeutic and traditional yoga. The hot Hatha class’s non-weight-bearing poses and heat improve body pliability and stimulate muscles as the body rises and falls like a Peep in the microwave. Class times vary from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the style, and destress minds seven days a week . Moksha Yoga Minneapolis enhances each yoga experience with its relaxing, eco-friendly studio space. The environmentally sustainable, cushy cork floors reduce lower-back pain, and the room’s warmth emanates from radiant heating panels designed by the Environmental Protection Agency. The studio proffers changing-room showers with complimentary environmentally friendly soap, as well as filtered tap water as pure as the driven snow made from filtered rain droplets.
