Mokshanam Yoga
freedom... in the body, mind, & heart.
in essence...
Steeped deeply in the timeless traditions of the East, the teachings of yoga are rich in offering experiential transformation. Whether it is healing the bones of our body or offering clarity in uncertainty, yoga is approachable for everyone willing to give its practices an honest try. While some benefits of yoga are noticeable immediately, it takes time for the more profound benefits to manifest in our daily lives. That is why Mokshanam Yoga is interested in the evolving relationship with each student along their path. Common with the tradition, personal guidance is offered to inspire possibility, challenge limiting beliefs, and enrich our human experience, all with the support of community and dedicated teachers.
"Teach what is within you. Not as it applies to you,
but as it applies to the one in front of you. "

a short note on class offerings...
As of summer 2025, the end of Aaron's time on retreat at Cedars of Peace ushers in a new beginning in the Triangle region of North Carolina (Durham/Chapel Hill/Raleigh). Recess Yoga in Carrboro has invited Aaron to offer Yogastha Sadhana classes on Tuesday & Friday mornings from 6:15-7:30am. You can sign up for class on their website or through the Mindbody app. Also, be on the lookout for pop-up classes!
In support of building community, Aaron and Ruth Ann open their residence in Chapel Hill to accommodate private lessons and small group classes for those interested in learning more about yoga and the Yogastha Sadhana practice. Aaron and Ruth Ann have intentionally set their space up to accommodate multiple mats and yogis coming together for practice, so please do not hesitate to inquire. In most cases, it is respectful to have met before an invitation to the home address is extended. Aaron is happy to meet in person or schedule a video call to say hello and answer questions. With so many wonderful and exciting opportunities to connect, please feel free to reach out about current class offerings or private lessons, as well as coordinating workshops and retreats, or with any general questions you may have.
