Press Release Summary: What do Yoga and Rock-n-roll have in common? Not much, unless you attend one of Scott Anderson's yoga classes. Anderson\'s non-traditional approach draws people from all walks of life to the spiritual practice of yoga; and he\'s got the T-shirt to prove it. MOGA yoga line was created as a witty reminder of yoga inspired living and to give back to the community.
Press Release Body: A student in Scott Anderson's yoga class told her 30-something husband that he couldn't stand next to her because he distracted her too much when he sang and danced.
Huh? (Sound of record scratching)
In yoga class?
Yoga has long been known as a practice that connects and transforms one's mind, body and spirit. Although yoga has been acceptable in mainstream American culture for decades, many are still apprehensive of the spirituality that is so deeply rooted within this ancient practice. At one time, Scott Anderson, a yoga instructor at Vital Yoga in Denver, was one of those people.
In fact, Anderson candidly admits the reason he attended his first yoga class was to impress a girl. Soon after his first class, the girl was gone, but the holistic benefits of yoga were still with him. Now a committed yogi, Anderson is passionate about spreading the healing benefits of yoga that has the power to transform a person from the inside out. His mission is clear: to empower people of all walks of life through the practice of yoga. Realizing the challenge of connecting ancient yoga practices with pop culture mainstream America, he teaches yoga a bit differently than the original masters once did. To connect the old with the now, Anderson combines humor, practical spiritual advice, and of course, a little heavy metal in his classes. His philosophy about yoga is similar to that of Gene Simmon's philosophy on rock: "It's about finding who you are."
And what is a great concert, without the T-shirt to prove it?
To show the practicality of yoga in everyday life, Anderson created Moga Yoga (an acronym for "Mastering One's Greater Awareness"), a label under which he's created a clothing line that connects spirituality and yoga with a hip, fun perspective. Transforming ancient deities into approachable, cartoon-like characters and heavy metal logos like KISS into spirit filled words like bliss, his line is attention grabbing to say the least.
"I wanted to create a wearable expression of my thoughts and teaching style. I'm proud of the fact that my designs make people think and smile at the same time."
Anderson's power yoga classes are often so packed that it's hard to find space for a mat.
To accommodate for this growth in community, Anderson is developing another place for modern, conscious living people to meet, cleverly called the OM Team. It's an online yoga community where one can receive weekly inspirational quotes that give fresh (and humorous) perspective on politics, relationships, activism and life.
Despite all the fun in his approach, Anderson is serious about giving back to help empower others. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that 1 in 3 women worldwide has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. To help protect women from domestic abuse, Moga Yoga donates a portion of all proceeds to this worthy cause.
