Modo Yoga Burnaby
4701 E. Hastings St. V5C 2K8 Burnaby, BC, Canada

To our community; There is no easy way to say this. Unless some miracle occurs, we will be closing the beautiful red door at Modo Yoga Burnaby for the last time on October 15th. We are beyond heartbroken, and so sorry for the collective loss. We have shared 9.5 years of practice together in the unique hemp and reclaimed wood walls that we hand-built and we sit here in disbelief that we have to make this announcement now. We have been reflecting on all of the friendships that ...have come out of our studio community and we know those will carry on even without the physical space we have all called our second home since 2011. We have heard so many stories over the years about how practice at Modo Yoga Burnaby studio has changed a life, helped in healing in some way and even been life-saving. We hope that you will join our teachers in celebrating through practice between now and October 15th. It has been an honour and a privilege to get to share practice with so many of you. We hope that through these turbulent times you carry some part of what you have experienced in our studio with you. With love Julia and Eric

Try out guided visualizations this October with @matthewcarter in Get To Know Nidra. " You start your journey up the side of the mountain on the path before you. You can hear the leaves crunching beneath your feet, you can feel the stones and the sticks with each step you take. You are surrounded by a warmly lit forest, the warm sunshine filters through the leaves above your head." (link to purchase in @matthewcarter bio)

Starting Monday, September 21 we are moving our morning class to 9:30 AM. We hope this helps you get through school drop off and morning routines and makes it more doable for you to get to the studio! See you on your mat. #modoishome #modoyogaburnaby #hotyoga

As fall schedules set in and more people are back to regular working and school hours we are going to send recordings out for virtual classes to make it easier for you to get your favourite practises in from the comfort of your home! You can attend virtual classes using any current pass or we have virtual class specific pass options as well.

Hi all. The following are hard words to say. As a Modo Yoga studio which has many locations worldwide, people assume that we are a large corporate entity. But in fact we are all independently owned small businesses in a collective of shared intention. Legally we are a franchise, but we do not operate with corporate financial support. We are a small business. Prior to Covid we were doing well to pay our bills. Not a lot of profit. Some years none. Some years a little bit. ... As of today, aside from a small number of members and a couple of virtual class passes, we have gone 142 days without a new pass sale. That’s more than a third of our year. We have been lucky to have supportive landlords to date and to of been able to qualify for some government programs. But much of that means taking on more debt. We have always had the intention to honor all of your outstanding passes: to give you back the time and value that you may also feel you have lost while we were physically closed, and we will continue to provide services for as long as we can. If you would like Modo Yoga Burnaby to continue to be a place that you can come practice yoga in your community, please consider making a purchase for either in studio or online classes. Thank you for supporting us. #modoishome #becommunity #modoyogaburnaby
