Energy Exchange @ Moksha Yoga Milton

Yoga is expensive. For an ancient art based on inclusion, actually practicing at a studio is not always accessible. One solution is to participate in an energy exchange. What you do is volunteer for 4 hours a week, every week, and in exchange you get unlimited access to classes. In fact, they WANT you to practice as often as possible - it's part of the energy. Most yoga studios offer this, but they might not have availability at any given time. Each Moksha studio has its own website, and they often advertise in their newsletters or on Twitter. The Milton studio is presently seeking volunteers. Apply using this form.
