Modo Yoga Saskatoon
619 1st Avenue North S7K 1X7 Saskatoon, SK, Canada

This year, perhaps more than all of the other years, we're grateful for our community and the resiliency we've seen from you over the last 9 months. We're thankful for you support, your concern as we navigate through these strange times, your smiles we can see beaming from your eyes and your laughter. You are the best community we could ever ask for and you do it just by being yourselves and showing up- in person, or online. Thank you!

Wishing you peace, love and gratitude today and always. From your @modoyogasask family.

The full expression of asana can be felt in the moments of transition. Transitions are connectors or bridges to the bigger picture. They can be felt as the "pause" between each pose. This pause holds knowledge and wisdom. It is a passageway full of information about our practice and our lives. And how we engage with the passageway is as important as the posture itself. Transitions shows us how we feel about the process. Is it just a means to an end or do we approach the tran...sition with as much enthusiasm and awareness as the postures themselves? And can we do this from a place of compassion, empathy and love? Encourage yourself to be present to your individual process. Slowing down, feeling, rooting deep, and pausing with intentionality are the little things that make a world of difference in your practice, and life. . . . #embracethepractice #bepresent #slowdown #modoyoga #yxeyoga #saskatoon #intentionalmovement

You can be grateful and still be overwhelmed. Allow yourself to feel how you feel, please and thank you. We agree completely with the caption from the original post by the artist: "Being grateful for what we have doesn't exempt us from negative emotions and the need for a good cry. Eventually those feelings we try to bury end up burying us. Don't feel guilt about your emotions. Don't apologize for taking up space." @josie.doodles ... #selfcompassion #selfcare #youreokay #benicetoyourselfplease

Your breath is your greatest teacher in times of adversity. Although we cannot control everything, all the time, the breath is a powerful tool that ties us to what we can control. Something as simple as a child's pose can remind you to root down, slow up, and be grounded with your breath. Moment to moment, breath to breath. . . . #breathe #learning #childspose #yxeyoga #modoyogayxe #begrounded #roots #presence #love #saskatoon #yoga

BYOBNB- bring your own bolster and blocks.... or Bolster and Blocks (for short), is a 75 minute in studio OR virtual practice on December 19th at 7pm. This is a practice in letting go and feeling supported, whether you're coming to the hot room or tuning in live, the intention is to find softness and rest. You will need: *1 bolster OR 2-3 pillows- you know your body best, firmer pillows work great for support, but softer ones may be better for a gentler practice *2 blocks OR... items that may stand in for blocks- phone books, metal cookie containers, or even a few throw pillows may serve *A throw blanket - light weight, but can be folded easily *Stuffed animals OPTIONAL OR real ones if you're joining us virtually, hehe C U there <3

Happy Birthday dear @karmen.currie! When Karmen walked through our doors back in Dec. 2011 we knew she would instantly be our Modo sister! Within a year of rolling out her mat in the hot room she became a Moksha (Modo) instructor! Karmen is the kindest, most supportive, generous gal. The whole room lights up when you're in it! Thank you for being you. We love you!

Allow yourself to go where there is reciprocity. When you are able to deeper connect to the sources of energy that sustain your being, the more you are able to reach for, do and become a part of. And this calls for discipline, dedication, and appreciation. Sometimes side excursions are the point, and new routes around old obstacles can be exactly what is needed. . . . #findingcommunity #growthmindset #journeytoself #yogainspiration #love #joy #yxe #bepeace #modoyoga

Uhm, so... what exactly is Modo Level 2....? It uses the original Modo that you may be familar with as a framework but introduces more advanced things like meditation and a longer savasana... Andddddd... longer holds and different variations that may be new to you! Level 2 is a great place to go if you're looking for a challenge- give it a try and allow yourself be inspired by becoming a beginner all over again!

Forever and always. We remember. . . . #remembranceday #neverforgotten #bepeace

Let's talk virtual! You'll notice that we've undergone some changes to the December schedule, including the move to more virtual offerings.

Monday Modo Flow at 12 ... Tuesday Yin at 9:30am Wednesday Modo at 5:30 Thursday Modo Flow at 7:15 Friday Modo at 6:30am Saturday Surprise (!) at 1:30 and Yin at 3:30 Sunday Modo at 12 *socks optional ** moon walking reccomended (always- duh!)

To our dear community, please note that effective last Friday (November 27th), we are now asking for masks to be worn at all times in the studio, including while you're taking class in the practice room. Think of this as a.) an added layer of prevention to your practice and b.) a new way to explore your breath. Here are some tips if you're thinking about attending one of these classes but you're unsure: ... - a disposable mask is slightly more breathable in the hot room than a fabric one - come well hydrated - try to maintain a steady breath through the nose throughout class - take rest as often as you need - know that Modo is still Modo, even if we're doing it with masks on, and Modo is your home away from Home.
