We know it’s been challenging getting into classes with the 10 person capacity due to York Region’s Red Zone restrictions. We’re asking that members only book themselves into 1 in-studio class per day so that all of our students have a fair chance of taking classes. Feel free to take as many virtual classes as you like! We thank you in advance for your cooperation & support as we move through these challenging times! Your MYA family

Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much - Helen Keller The power of this community inspires us every single day, even when our doors are closed! We are so grateful for everyone of you taking part in our Virtual classes, connecting with us over social media & through sweet messages You are making this challenging time feel easier! We love you all so much! #MondayMotivation

Double trouble for this Friday’s Karma class! Join @chatterrungirl AND @emilymorwen on Friday at 1 pm EST on Zoom (link in bio to sign up!). All proceeds benefit @trevorproject. @emilymorwen discovered yoga in 2000 and @chatterrungirl in 2007, both for their own reasons (hello anxiety, hello insomnia, hello weight loss) that eventually morphed into this deep love for the challenging (sweaty) practice, the connection, the grounding and the deep sense of peace. Emily and A...lice have combined over 20 years of teaching experience and are continually humbled and inspired by the practice and by teaching. Their backgrounds and interests in yoga range from working with students from 3 to 83, top performing endurance athletes, absolute self-described "non-yogis and long-time practitioners. They love that yoga lets them dive into alignment, expression, empowerment, and slowing way down. Both currently teach at @modoyogala, where they are co-owners of the Modo LA studios.

Dear Yogis, York Region is moving into the Red Zone as of tomorrow, Monday, November 16th. This means our class capacity has moved down to 10 people per class. Starting later this week, you will see additions to our schedule so that way more students have the opportunity to take class. We have added over 20 classes in the next 2 weeks... Here are some updates & reminders regarding booking classes: We have changed our class booking window to 3 DAYS IN ADVANCE If a class is full, you will be prompted to join the waitlist. Put yourself on the waitlist & if you get moved into class you will receive an email to either confirm or cancel your reservation STRICT 3 HOUR LATE CANCEL POLICY IN EFFECT! Please make sure to cancel yourself out of class more than 3 hours before that start time to avoid being charged our late cancel/no show fee Front doors will open 10min before class starts to give staff more time to clean the space We know these new restrictions are not ideal, but we are so grateful for our community’s ongoing support during these challenging times (what a rollercoaster it’s been)! Looking forward to seeing you in the Hot Room soon, Belinda, Linda & Ceilidh

Although our doors are closed for in-studio classes, we are still offering massage therapy! Book with Santina, our Registered Massage Therapist, on Tuesdays between 1pm-6pm. You can book online through our website or email us at [email protected]

To put you in a good mood for the week ahead- here’s a picture of a cute polar bear working on their Happy Baby pose! Happy Monday yogis! Hope to be seeing you in our Virtual Studio!

We have made some additions to our VIRTUAL STUDIO schedule! We are planning on adding a few more classes, so stay tuned & continue to check our website for our full schedule or the Modo Yoga App! Remember that even if you can’t make the class live, pre-register for it & you will be emailed the recording which will be available for 48 hours!

Planning out this week's yoga classes? Here are two practices we’re sure you won’t want to miss! Join Sophie Malouin (@sophie.malouin) tomorrow (Monday December 14th) at 12PM EST and on Wednesday, @modoyoga co-founder Jess Robertson (@heyjessrobertson) for a 60 minute Modo Flow practice Two great opportunities to get your body moving. Both classes can be attended at no charge through Modo Yoga Online (link in @modoyoga bio to register). Can’t make it at 12PM EST? Don’t sweat it! Modo Yoga Online Live classes can be attended for 24 hours following their live air time.

See the link below to sign a new petition to help Yoga Studios reopen. We do not operate the same as big box gyms and have put every measure in place to make sure our space is as safe as possible! If you could please take the time to sign the petition & share it, we would be so grateful! We appreciate all of the kind messages, emails and support over the past few days Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send emails to the Mayor & the Premier. This community continues to inspire us everyday! https://www.change.org/p/doug-ford-yoga-studios-are-not-gym

Join MaryAnne tomorrow, Monday, October 19th for our first VIRTUAL CLASS as we move into our second closure. She will be leading a 60min MODO practice @ 12pm via Zoom. Sign up as you would for our regular classes through the App or websiteRemember, if you can’t take the class live, the recording will be emailed to you & will be available for 48 hours!

Whaaaaat We’re taking a 28 day Savasana?! If you haven’t heard, the government has mandated York Region move into a modified stage 2. As of Monday, October 19th, we will be closed for 28 days.... If you are on a monthly membership, your membership will be placed on hold as of Monday until we reopen. Unless you contact us via email before our reopening date, your hold will lift and your membership will continue. We will be expanding our VIRTUAL CLASS SCHEDULE as we move into the closure. If you would like your hold lifted so you can support the studio and/or take Virtual Classes, please let us know via email! Thank you for all your kind words, emails and messages. We could not be more grateful for our community & your support

URGENT- COMMUNITY CALL TO ACTION Dear Modo Yoga Aurora Community, This has been a challenging time for many of us, and our current climate is constantly changing as we do our very best to be mindful of guidelines set out by our health & government officials.... It's been wonderful to have the support of those of you who have been with us throughout this pandemic- in studio/virtually/via email. We are so grateful that we have managed to continue operating and providing the services that so many have found to be invaluable to their mental, physical and emotional health and well being. As many of you know, there is a real concern that that the modified Stage 2 rollback that has occurred in Toronto, Ottawa, and Peel regions; may also be placed in York Region. Unfortunately, yoga studios have also been categorized with big box gyms. Our facility operates much differently than a big box gym. WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW MORE THAN EVER AS WE FIGHT TO STAY OPEN! We have created an email template in hopes that, as a member and supporter of this community, you will take the time to use the template and email it to: The Premier Doug Ford: [email protected] & [email protected] Mayor Ton Mrakas: [email protected] & copy YR Chief Medical Officer: [email protected] DM US FOR THE EMAIL TEMPLATE TO SEND TO GOVERNEMENT OFFICIALS! We could not be more grateful for your support Love, Your Modo Yoga Aurora Family

Today we are wishing this very special lady HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Kathryn has been a part of our team for over 6 years now and we could not be more grateful for her She has such a kind heart & her sassy jokes will leave you crying with laughter Your MYA family is sending you so much love today If you see her today, don’t forget to wish her Happy Birthday!

Posted @withregram @modoyoga Join us TOMORROW for a 90 minute workshop on the practice of anti-oppression with @jamilahmalika. Together we will reflect on how we can dismantle systems of power using the same tools we learn in our mindful movement practices. All members of the Modo Yoga International team will be attending and we invite all of you to join us as we learn/unlearn together as a community. The cost is on a sliding scale of $50-100 CAD (free for Black and Ind...igenous folx). Head to newleaffoundation.com//anti-oppression-your-wellness-prac/ to snag a spot. We are so excited for this opportunity. @jamilahmalika is a Teacher Trainer, Senior Teacher and Mentorship Lead at @newleaffoundationto, Teacher Faculty for Kathryn Bruno’s Mindful Strength Teacher Immersion and Brown Girls Yoga Collective member. In addition to teaching trauma-informed, mindfulness-based yoga, she is an artist and a writer. She believes yoga and meditation are how we practice gentle attention with ourselves in the hopes we do so with others.

We have extended the expiry for ALL of our Virtual Class Recordings! All recordings will now be available for 48 hours for your convenience! Maybe you’ll even get to take the class twice
