About Moxshlife Yoga

Beyond Asanas

Moxshlife Yoga was founded by the Master following His spiritual experience, which took place after His encounter with His Gurudev's energy. The Master realized that most people no longer know that yoga is vast science designed for spiritual seekers. Instead, most practitioners and teachers of Yoga focus on fitness and health, recuperating from/or preventing illnesses, or just as fashion. Although it is one of the most popular exercise regimes around the world, it has been reduced to just that: an ancient Indian exercise regime.

Therefore, the Master founded Moxshlife Yoga. It is Traditional Yoga but with a focus on spiritual development, which is the actual purpose of Yogic Science. It is a way of life to be followed for attaining yoga and after attaining Yoga. It is a divine spiritual yogic path for all yoga practitioners guided by Acharya Dr. M. J. Pillai (The Master). It focuses on giving a complete yogic experience, including fitness, health, peace of mind, contentment, and YOGA.

Moxshlife Yoga practice gives practitioners:
1. Fitness and Health: Through regular Moxshlife Yoga practice
2. Peace of Mind and Contentment: Through Moxshlife Yoga Workshops, and retreats, and the Master's Talks and guidance sessions
3.Yogaor Spiritual Growth: Through imbuing Moxshlife Yoga's virtues like right diet, sleep, lifestyle, and thought process management.
