Key Features

Our Studio is offering something new to the San Francisco yoga community.  We want to open the door to the physical benefits of the practice to those who may have been intimidated by yoga in the past, as well as experienced students who are more interested in the physical benefits of the practice.  Our classes are designed for the urban lifestyle.  Effective, efficient classes that focus on specifically the 3rd and 4th limbs of yoga (postures and breathing).  

We are unique in that our studio will be free from guided spirituality.  We open the door to the other facets of yoga through the postures, but allow students to explore beyond on their own regard.

Our class offering upon opening includes Yoga and Core classes.  Yoga classes are inspired by Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Power yoga while integrating the benefits of Pilates and isometric strengthening from barre fitness.  Once we are up and running, we will offer regular workshops (and potentially regular classes) that include dance, barre fitness, yoga strengthening, meditation, yoga for sleep, etc.

Traction and Funding Needs

The wheels are in motion.  We have a lease and have begun renovation of our space.  The process is underway and we hope to be able to open by the first week of May.   We have our ideal location in an old laundromat in the Mission district of San Francisco.

We are raising money on Fundable because we want to share our love and the benefits of the practice to those who have yet to practice yoga as well as those who have tired of the San Francisco yoga trends.  Our dream has become more expensive however than anticipated and we are reaching to our community to help us push through.

About the Business and Team

I'm Mark Rausa and have been instructing yoga in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past three years.  I completed my initial training with Larry Schultz, Marie Schultz and Donovan Hicks in July 2010.  I try to bring a comedic sensation to my classes. I'm originally from Pennsylvania and studied Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State University (I built our website). Beyond practicing and instructing yoga, I enjoy skateboarding, home-brewing beer, camping and a little web development.  I have had the dream and desire to open my own space since I graduated from my teacher training.  It can finally come true with your help!

Moxie Yoga started out of the desire to build a community of yoga and fitness enthusiasts and create a space where we can maintain a lifelong journey of practice through fit bodies and minds.

Moxie is a collaboration of yoga and fitness ideals between Mark Rausa and David Steele.
