Modo Yoga Kelowna

Today at 4pm! Online via Zoom! Join Robi for 'STORYTIME'... Stories have served many roles in human history. They can make us laugh, or fall in love but most importantly they give us lessons on how to cope with life. The yoga poses we practice every day originate from epic myths and stories. Myths and stories that are timeless and hold lessons that can apply to the wild new world we are all living through in 2020. Join us on this epic journey and experience another layer of yogic tradition! Sign up through the usual class list, via the website - Modo App or Mindbody App. All regular passes apply - you can use your membership or punch pass. A virtual drop in is $12 We will send you the Zoom invite 1/2 hour before the workshop.

Looking ahead to our (usual) festive season is likely going to come paired with some of the more dense emotions, disappointment, sadness, a missing or an emptiness, uncertainty. This could also leave the body + heart + mind feeling heavy or sore. You are strong enough to feel your feelings, you are capable of meeting yourself in that place and allowing your humanness to express in all its raw and real beauty. Have you ever reflected that our culture and society really... loves to keep the elevated emotions and expressions front and centre? And the darker ones hidden away, like they are not real or as valid? Yeahsorry...thats was never going to last. Our life school - is here to school us. That saying we love - ’This too shall pass’ actually was trimmed back from - ‘This, too, shall pass though me, and I will give it my love’. As the moments flow in, regardless of how un-welcome or uncomfortable the details are - can we sit in that knowing that it WILL pass, and we can actually have it pass through us, as we infuse it with our love. Loving what is. What spiritual practice comes down too - loving, and letting go. We are so here with you, friends. Stay close. See more

It is this wonderful woman’s birthday today! Trish has always been at the roots of our sacred space. The last few years she has been working with some health challenges that have prevented her from being able to shine her bright light in the studio. If you have been a part of the Modo family since the beginning - you will remember her loving presence, her deep wisdom and her generous kindness. ... Trish is also a big part of why we have always been so clean! She was a nurse for her professional life and brought that epic attention to detail into many layers of our studio operations. Germs do not stand a chance as we have best practices that would rival a hospital, thanks to her. She continues to inspired us through yoga as she keeps up with her presence in the online studio and meditation at homebut we miss her so. Birthday blessings being sent on the wind! See more

Take your health into your own hands! There are many ways to nurture your body so that it can carry you though years of a thriving, engaged life. The systems of the body are intricate, sensitive and totally miraculous! Our daily choices affect this living organism. ... Everything matters. Take responsibility. Own the power you have. The winter @kelownafarmersmarket starts tomorrow! Head down to the Parkinson Rec Centre to stock up on seasonal fruit and veg grown in BC. @moonstoneferments just delivered us this epic produce, you will find him there tomorrow selling his medicinal fermented products which really pack a punch for the immune system. It’s the season of REST - a body in stress is not as strong. It’s working simply to BE in that stressful state. Now its dark at 5pm - eat earlier, start welcoming an evening routine that sets you up for an early night. We love @insighttimer app for Nidra’s or meditations to wind down. Hydrate! We are made up of water. A @janeybaeby fave is > bring thinly sliced fresh ginger, juice of a lemon or 2, small spoon of honey and a small dash of cayenne pepper all together into a large vessel (tea pot, jug or jar) pour in hot water, leave to steep and drink up. Once your vessel is half empty - add more building water + keep topping it up. Its warming, nurturing, immune boosting, anti inflammatory and enjoyable any time of the day or night. Also a great replacement for caffeine or alcohol. This winter will be different, lets welcome the differences that can be of benefit. See more

We are so elated to have @kdayyoga back in the drivers seat for some yoga journeys over here! This Sunday she is teaching 12 noon power flow, still lots of space on the waitlistand 7pm Hot Yin has some waitlist space too. Our waitlists cycle through as time passes, and we often have a space or two available if you come down open to whats possible but unattached. This space has a way of making what seems impossiblepossible! ... A love note from Kelly ~ ‘Yoga has been such a transformative + healing gift to my life. It's been a practice that has gifted me with mental clarity and access to my intuition, while empowering me to become my own guide and teacher in this life. Movement has allowed me a vehicle for expression + an ability to connect to myself in a deeper, more holistic way. Through the power of practice and remaining a student, yoga has guided me on a journey of self discoveryaligning me to my deepest truths + inspiring me to be a more compassionate, conscious human. My hope through teaching is that I may inspire others to connect to their own inner guide and teacher, while having the courage to walk in their own truth. I teach classes that are woven with slow, strong, alignment based movement and an invitation into deep listening of your body, breath and inner energies. I feel blessed to be on this path and grateful to walk it with you.’ See more

As we take a conscious pause on Remembrance Day ~ let’s use the power of the collective to anchor in a vision of a future without war. With a deep bow of gratitude and appreciation we turn our hearts and minds to the ones who put the collective needs, above their own individual desires. Back in a time when the world knew only of defence and attack. When we believed we needed to protect what we loved with violence and separation. When we didn’t know another way was possibl...e. Now - we know better. So we must do better. We can take this sacred opportunity that was given to us, and move forward with loving kindness - learning how to embody a peaceful power. Our lives in Canada are built on a history of pain and suffering, woven together with stories of kindness, generosity and respect. Learning to witness and listen to the stories of the past, help us build a future consciously - one where each living being is deeply cared for. This poppy is a cosy landing for these sweet bees bathing in pollen, cuddled up together. When we look to nature, we see how all the pieces contribute the health of all. We are a part of that. Lest we forget. See more
