| - I was admittedly nervous to try hot yoga again after having had a very negative experience on the west side about two years ago . . . but after talking with the instructors and founders, touring the gorgeous bamboo studio (yay, no stinky carpet!), and hearing about what makes the Modo series different, I decided to give it a try.
So far, I am thrilled, and trying to come as often as my schedule allows! I've had awesome classes so far with Chip, Mallory, and Ashley. In fact I'm headed to Ashley's noon class today. I particularly love the Modo Music class, as I think the music helps me ground and focus.
I love that you not only start with savasana, but there is a brief savasana in the middle of the series, too . . . and a final, luxurious savasana at the end where you can take your time absorbing the benefits of your yoga session. The instructors don't seem to mind when I modify the positions for my body issues, and they are good about offering alternatives and suggestions for using the blocks, which is a relief.
The studio itself is super cute. Everything is made from upcycled materials.
They are really dedicated to keeping the studio clean and sanitized, and I've seen the floors get sanitized after every class.
Most of all the staff and instructors are warm and welcoming, and I haven't run into the enormous attitude you encounter at some studios!
I knew Ashley from her Outside OM project, which involves donation-based yoga in the parks and open spaces, and I am happy to report that the same down-to-earth energy has successfully transferred into a sweet studio space!
