Ways to Prepare for the Program

  • Establish a regular practice of 3-4 times per week. Attend as many classes at Moksha as possible, experiencing different styles and teaching methods.
  • Create a balance between activity and rest. Most of us do not get enough sleep. During rest, the body and mind have a chance to regenerate. Commit yourself to getting at least 8-9 hours of sleep per night.
  • Eat a healthy diet rich in whole foods, such as grains, vegetables, and fruit. Reduce or eliminate the consumption of red meat, processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Drink plenty of filtered or bottled water.
  • Clear your schedule of activities, commitments, and distractions. This training will require up to 20 hours of your time every week throughout the year. There will be a break from classes in August.
