India is experiencing a devastating crisis right now and is desperately in need of oxygen, hospital beds, home ICU, air ambulance, medicine delivery and mobile testing services. A devastating second wave of coronavirus in India has seen hospitals and crematoriums overwhelmed and widespread shortages of oxygen and medicines. Case numbers and deaths in India are continuing to rise fast, fuelled by a new variant. In total, India has confirmed more than 18 million infections and... 200,000 deaths. Virologists say they expect the rate of infections to continue to increase for another two to three weeks. The country has a chronic shortage of space on its intensive care wards, with many patients' families forced to drive for miles to try to find a bed for their loved one. In an effort to support the global initiative to assist India during this crisis, Modo Yoga will be using funds from Karma Classes collected in the month of May and donating them to Yoga Gives Back. We invite you to help support our efforts and make a difference to the lives of millions in India who are affected by this crisis, by signing up for this month's Karma classes: https://www.modoyogaonline.com/products If you do have the financial means to support, you can click below to donate to some organizations that are doing great work to raise funds and awareness for the ongoing COVID crisis in India.

Nicole wrote her first book Tiny Ruins and we are thrilled and truly honoured to have her book available for purchase at the studio! Nicole is one of our Energy Exchange Ambassadors who spends lots of time here practicing yoga, wiping up sweat puddles, cleaning bathrooms/toilets, and hanging out with wonderful humans, and Alana in the book also spends some time in a hot yoga studiothough as Ni...cole shares, Alana’s experience is maybe not quite as lovely as Nicole’s time at Modoyou’ll have to read the book to find out! A funny and touching coming-of-age and coming out story that follows Alana, as she grows up, and navigates a perplexing and sometimes hostile world. Her sister is both her constant companion and tormentor, and Alana is desperate for her approval. This book is for anyone who ever stood alone at the edge of the playground and longed to be included. - Radiant Press Fits nicely in a stocking! $20 +HST Pick one up as you arrive for class, or stop by during our Christmas Eve shopping hours 1pm - 4pm.

In this time of crisis, Second Harvest is an emergency service providing fresh perishable food to front-line hunger relief organizations across Canada. They focus on bringing healthy food that are hardest to access for low-income people to shelters, faith-based organizations, food banks, community organizations and other programs that support over 1.3 million of our most vulnerable and marginalized populations including families, children, youth and seniors. Because of COVID-19, the programs they support are under increased stress and the need for food is higher than ever. Help support the important work Second Harvest is doing by stepping on your mat for our weekly Karma class today at 1:30 pm NST (12 pm EST) led by Modo co-founder Ted Grand. This is a donation-based class on Zoomgo to www.modoyoga.com/virtualclasses/ to sign up.

This is our last Friday Karma class of the month! Join Nikkoel Ozer for 60 minutes of Modo as we let go of the week and connect with our community on Zoom in support of Second Harvest. Click here to sign up: https://modoyoga.com/virtualclasses/ Nikkoel hails from the lower mainland in BC, but a stint in the Canadian military brought her to Kingston, ON where she took her military release. After completing the Modo Yoga Teacher Training in Montreal in 2016, Nikkoel became a... teacher at Modo Yoga Kingston where she went on to teach: Modo Prenatal, Modo Flow, Modo Freestyle, Modo Fit, Modo Calm, yin, yogassage and as of this Fall has been certified as a Budokon Yoga teacher. The realization that we can command our own body and craft our hearts and minds is everythingthat we do not have to settle into legacies or circumstance. It is all that there should be. To be accountable to yourself, so you can be accountable to all forms of life, that is what my practice provides for me. I so hope to pay forward the influence of thousands of teachers before me, to lift the proverbial veil. That our practice, apart or together, unites us in our humanity.
