Welcome to Moksha United, a space designed to embrace the wisdom and tradition of yogic practices. Our offerings are designed to provide a peaceful sanctuary where you can rediscover the innate vitality of your mind, body, and spirit.
Moksha from the Sanskrit word muc, meaning to free, describes a person’s liberation or release from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth known as samsara. The concept of Moksha is found in numerous religious traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
The idea behind Moksha United is meant to reflect a collective group of people, working together to achieve personal spiritual freedom, unity with the divine, or enlightenment.
Committed to curating transformative, holistic, and joyful experiences, we empower individuals to discover their unique journey to inner peace and harmony through rejuvenating wellness retreats and events, curated yoga sessions, and mindful meditation and sound practices.
