There’s no better time than now to commit (or re-commit) to your practice and doing so with the support of #community can make all the difference. COMMIT TO SIT is a unique journey towards starting or deepening an already established meditation practice. This program is lead by one of our dear friend and teacher Frank Jude Boccio and will be hosted via zoom weekly so you can participate from anywhere! Meditation teaches us to slow down and pay attention. When we watch our ...tendency to grasp onto pleasure and push away pain, we see that we create our own suffering. There is a way to be present to challenging feelings and sensations without adding a layer of suffering to it. That doesn’t mean it’s easy or will always feel good but there can be freedom and peace found in the process. Link in bio to sign up

Double trouble for this Friday’s Karma class! Join @chatterrungirl AND @emilymorwen on Friday at 1 pm EST on Zoom (link in @modoyoga 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. E...mily and Alice 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. Do not miss this class! . . . #yogainspirations #yogaeverydamnday #yogaanytime #yogaanywhere #yogaanytimeanywhere #kwawesome #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #APlaceForAll #CalmFitInspired #ModoYogaLove #ModoFamily #WeAreModo #ModoYoga #ModoMood #6Pillars #BeHealthy #BeAccessible #BeGreen #BeCommunity #LiveToLearn #BePeace @uptownwaterloo

Ever hear your yoga instructor say savasana might arguably be one of the hardest and also one of the most important poses ? Getting still can be hard, especially in times of great uncertainty and change (hello 2020!) but it can also be so liberating to slow down and truly feel that you are supported by the earth beneath you. We know that our studios are operating with less time for savasana these days so that we can maintain high standards of safety and cleanliness, nonethe...less we invite you to explore the moments of pause when you get a chance. Even throughout your day, take a moment to pause and find your breath, feel your feet on the floor. Your mat is like a training ground and these are tools that are with you always . . . Happy slowing down :) See more

We have another intro to make! A big warm (and sweaty) welcome to Rachael, the newest member of our teaching team (@msrachaellewitzky). You may already know her as one of the friendliest people around. Rachael began practicing yoga as a means to find balance physically, mentally, and emotionally. Having participated in high-level competitive sports throughout her life, she was looking for a way to move mindfully and purposefully. After completing her first Modo class, she ...knew she found what she was looking for. Her practice taught her the importance of connecting movement and breath both on and off her mat. Yoga provided her with the strength and skills to pause, reflect, listen, strive, and breathe through discomfort. Having worked in the field of education for several years, Rachael is interested in exploring mindfulness in higher education and providing learners with accessible and inclusive experiences. Rachael decided to continue her yoga journey by completing the inaugural online @modoyoga Teacher Training program in June 2020 and immediately starting practice teaching online. Keep your eyes open for her on the schedule and say HI next time you are in.
