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.

#PostureTipTuesday Prayer Twist This posture is the first big twist in the @modoyoga series. Prayer Twist creates flexibility in the spine, elevates the heart rate, and is a great way to strengthen the muscles of the thighs and back. Here’s how to set up the Posture ... Bend your knees,bringing your palms together in front of your chest. Sit down and look to make sure that your ankles, knees and hips are all in one line. Take a big inhale to lengthen your spine. On an exhale bring your right elbow against your outer left thigh. Keep the eyes calm and drop your hips down for more of a challenge. Release, reach your arms up and straighten your legs and go into the opposite side *try Modo Yoga Online for FREE for 2 weeks! https://www.modoyogaonline.com/?campaign=London

Friday can’t come soon enough. Go to www.modoyoga.com/virtualclasses/ to sign up for our weekly Karma class on Zoomthis week with Aura in support of Second H...arvest! Aura Carcueva has been teaching yoga for nearly 15 years. Over the years, she has taught in Trinidad and many studios in Toronto before she moved to Guelph, Ontario. Her love of movement first began at Simon Fraser University where she received her BFA in Theatre and Dance. The interdisciplinary program included other techniques such as Tai chi, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Laban Analysis, Pilates, Voice and Yoga to name a few. You might see aspects of these techniques in Aura’s teaching. Aside from being a yoga teacher Aura is also a professional actor. She has performed on various stages and festivals in Toronto and Vancouver and she has also toured across North America and Europe with various theatre companies. Aura wears many hats. You can surely find her in a yoga or dance studio, on stage, on screen or simply hanging out with her family.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance: a time to remember and honour those whose lives have been lost to anti-transgender violence. According to Human Rights Campaign: "2020 has already seen at least 34 transgender or gender non-conforming people fatally shot or killed by other violent means, the majority of which were Black and Latinx transgender women. We say at least because too often these stories go unreported -- or misreported." We must all work together in the pursuit of justice, equality, and safety for transgender and gender non-conforming community members. We stand in solidarity to affirm the inherent value, dignity, and human rights of trans people everywhere. You are valid, valued, and an important and beautiful member of our community. #aplaceforall

YELLOW TO ORANGE The Middlesex-London Region has been reclassified as Orange in the Provincial Reopening Framework. This takes effect Monday, December 7.... Thankfully, our studios are not deeply impacted by this change other than the new requirement of screening students registered for classes. As an added measure, when you arrive at the studio you will see a list of posted questions (see below). You must answer NO to all three in order to proceed to class. If you answer YES to just ONE of the questions, you must head back home to call your healthcare professional immediately for advice and guidance. Read the questions, answer them honestly and advise the teacher on duty of the results. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and your patience. We are so incredibly grateful to remain open for you and we appreciate your continued support.

You know our studios are squeaky clean, but we always go the extra kilometre for our community. Both of our locations received their quarterly disinfectant fogging treatment today. Non-toxic and super-efficient. *Our thanks to Peter and GO FOG IT for an attentive job!

Practice with Mari Meyer and members of the Modo community from around the worldthis Friday at 12 pm EST! All funds raised will go to support The Trevor ...Project. Head over to www.modoyoga.com/virtualclasses to join us. Mari first found yoga while still in college in the Netherlands and continued practicing after moving to New York. Finding Modo in 2013 made her fall in love with a heated practice and the community. After filling several non-teacher roles at Modo Yoga NYC, she completed her Level 1 training in Montreal in 2015. She now lives in Los Angeles, where she teaches Modo, Modo Flow, Freestyle Flow, Yang/Yin and Yin at Modo Yoga LA. Off the mat, Mari also works as a journalist, translator and screenwriter. Mari’s classes are rooted strongly in accessibility and aim to both enable and strengthen the dialogue between body and brain, encouraging each individual student to move in a way that feels good to them.

We’re feeling pretty darn thankful for the incredible people that make up our Modo family. And though we may not be as physically close this year, we are cl...oser than ever in our hearts and in our shared commitment to making this world a better place. And while we took time today to give thanks, we also took time to learn, to listen and to reflect. We learned about the history and culture of the ancient land on which we live and practice. We researched the issues directly affecting Indigenous populations in our local communities. We listened to Indigenous voices both online and in our community and we reflected on the ways we participate in society so that we can show up and do better. We recognize that there is no liberation without reconciliation. Sending a ton of love and gratitude to our whole community in Canada and around the world.

It’s #NationalComingOutDay! We stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ folx everywhere who have come out AND all those who have not.

We see you. We love you. We accept you. And we support you on the lifelong journey of becoming the fullest, most authentic expression of who you are.We look forward to the day where nobody carries the weight of shame for who they are and nobody feels like they have to come out to live freely.You can join us in celebrating by attending one of our Friday Karma classes this month in support of The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ young people.
