Sending love and light to our Muslim community around the world celebrating Eid al-Fitr and marking the end of Ramadan. Happiness, health and harmony to you all. Eid Mubarek! #eidmubarak #ramadan #eidmubarak2021 #happyeidmubarak #blessings #happiness #eidmubarak #becommunity #6pillars #moonphases #moonlight

Yesterday we witnessed history as America welcomed Kamala Harris the first female, Black and South Asian Vice-President, as well as Amanda Gorman who was the youngest inaugural poet in U.S history, who shared her poem The Hill We Climb When day comes, we ask ourselves: Where can we find light In this never-ending shade?... And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow, we do it. Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed A nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished . We invite you to dedicate your practice today to continue growth and brighter days to come.

Especially if your yoga practice roots are based in a studio setting, diving into a home practice can often be a bit tricky. One of the many things we love about a studio-based practice is that the hot-room is a cell phone free zone, allowing for a break from distractions. To help build a strong home practice, find a quiet area in your home that has limited distractions, and set your phone, computer or smart watch to 'Do Not Disturb' mode so that you can truly get the most out of the time you spend on the mat. What else helps you build a stronger home practice?

2021 is here and as usual Vancouver has gifted us with some cleansing rain to wash away the old and bring in the new year. MYV wishes our community a safe, healthy, and mindful start to the new year. We hope to see all of your smiling faces (even if they are hidden under a mask ) very soon! Much love,...

Happy Hanukkah dear friends May your home be filled with love and light, making each day warm and bright

S T U D I O U P D A T E Today we received new health orders stating that all yoga studios are to suspend group classes while new guidelines are being developed. We are extremely sad that we will not be able to re-open tomorrow as we intended. Our team is working diligently to figure out how to move forward and we greatly appreciate your patience and unwavering support.... We look forward to re-opening and being in community again once new guidelines are announced. Until then, you can keep your practice going with our virtual classes and Modo Yoga Online. See you soon

Modo Yoga is deeply committed to making this world a better place for all. And we recognize that this commitment always begins with us as individuals and as a community. Yoga is about waking up. Our practice can allow us to examine and confront the painful and uncomfortable reality of how we have personally enabled anti-Black racism to persist. When we recognize this truth, it informs all of our choices off the mat: in the conversations we have at home, at work and in ...our social circles; in the businesses we support and in who we vote for, to name just a few. We can lean on our practice to sustain our dedication to ending systemic racism. We commit to listening, learning, looking inward and most importantly taking action. We commit to using our voice and resources to support and uplift Black people everywhere. To start doing better, we will be having a by-donation live yoga class on Zoom on Friday, guided by Valerie Verdier (@valerie.a.verdier), Director of Teaching @modoyoganyc and Modo Flow Training Faculty. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Black Lives Matter & NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Link in bio to sign up. This is just the beginning. @ The Whole Wide World See more

Attention MYV community! Just a friendly reminder that today is election day in B.C.

It's a beautiful sunny autumn dayand we can't think of a better excuse to leave the house, than to vote!... #electionday #everyvotematters #votebc #bcelection #vancouver #kitsilano #makeadifference

Our friends over at Modo Yoga East Vancouver made this video that was too perfect not to share! Different studio, but same breathing etiquette @modoyogaeastvancouver Breathing in a group setting comes with some risks in our Covid world. Wearing masks and social distancing are designed to help lower these risks. Another thing we can all do during class is be aware of our breath intensity. Think about your breath just reaching the edge of your own mat. Big exhales or sighs... through the mouth can expel our breath much further than 6 feet. If you need that sense of release that a big sigh might create, try humming or rolling the shoulders. We’re all in this together and we want to do the most we can to keep our community safe and still be able to practice yoga together. Your help is so appreciated. Thanks! #modoyoga #modoeastvan #modoyogavancouver aplaceforall #calmfitinspired #community #mindfulstrength #hotyoga #eastvan #vancouver #yvr #sweat #vancouverisawesome #yogaeverydamnday #vancitybuzz #vancouveryoga #yogalife #calm #fit #inspired #mindfulness

Introducing OUTDOOR FitFlow! Our brand new outdoor class starting on October 23rd Join @jeffboydwellness for this creative, high energy class that is meant to improve stamina, strengthen and tone your muscles, and stretch you out. Class runs rain or shine and is guaranteed to keep you warm and limber. Once the body is warmed up, you'll move through sequences not unlike your favourite Modo Flows. No equipment necessary, though those with their own exercise bands for Fusio...n class could bring those along; sneakers and mats at your own discretion. If you bring a mat, a mat towel can be helpful. Wearing layers is highly recommended, and a waterproof bag to put your clothes in might not be a bad call! Jeff is a long time yoga teacher, pilates instructor, personal trainer, and coach, and brings these elements together to keep you moving, breathing, and smiling. Don't worry about the rain; it means you won't notice the sweat! Starting on October 23rd, all outdoor classes will be our new FitFlow 45 minute class. You can find it on our schedule Monday & Friday at 4:30 pm, and Saturday & Sunday at 12 pm. See you there!
