Q. Why choose Moksha? Because we care.A. We care about you, our course content, our teachers, and our community. We have a unique ethical business model which supports all. In our experience, too often Yoga Teachers are not compensated for our skills, knowledge, and time. Teachers are often under-appreciated and underpaid, yet we give from our hearts. At Moksha, we commit to our teachers by paying them respectfully for course development, and implementation, and dividing our total abundance through sharing our profit. You’ll appreciate this practice, even more, should you teach with us one day.
