Modo Yoga was founded as Moksha Yoga in Toronto by Jessica Robertson and Ted Grand, starting with six studios across Canada. The focus was on hot yoga, offering classes in heated rooms set around 100°F (38°C) with high humidity, enhancing flexibility and supporting detoxification in a set yoga sequence.
Our commitment to Be Healthy inspires every aspect of what we do. From the way we heat our studios to the supportive sequences of our classes, we strive to create environments that promote physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional balance. We encourage sustainable practices, both on and off the mat, helping our community cultivate habits that nourish their well-being and the planet. By prioritizing health in its many forms, we aim to empower individuals to live fuller, more vibrant lives—one breath, one practice, one day at a time.
This value is more than just a statement; it is woven into the very fabric of our community. We create spaces where every individual—regardless of ability, body type, or background—feels welcome and supported. Our classes are designed to be accessible, offering modifications and variations to suit every level of experience and physical condition. We celebrate diversity, ensuring that our studios are safe, inclusive, and empowering for all who walk through our doors. Through our commitment to Be Accessible, we strive to make the transformative practice of yoga available to anyone who seeks it, reinforcing the belief that yoga is a practice for all people, in all stages of life.
As stewards of the Earth, it is our duty to respect and care for it, recognizing that the choices we make impact not only the environment but our own lives and the lives of future generations. We are committed to sustainable practices, from the use of eco-friendly materials and renewable energy sources in our studios to supporting practices that encourage green-living in our daily lives. Whether we’re reducing unnecessary waste or simply using a reusable water bottle, we’re fostering a healthier world for all. By protecting our planet we can enhance our own well-being. At Modo Yoga, the care, respect, and protection of our planet is a core value, guiding us to live in harmony with the Earth and each other.
Be Community is not just a guiding principle, it’s a way of life. We recognize that we are stronger together, and by reaching out and supporting one another, we create an environment where everyone can thrive. In our studios, we foster a welcoming atmosphere where connections are made, friendships are formed, and every individual is valued. We actively engage with our local neighbourhoods, participating in and organizing events that bring people together, whether through karma classes, community outreach, or collaborative projects. Our commitment to community extends beyond the yoga mat, encouraging each of us to be present, listen, and lend a hand to those in need. At Modo Yoga, Community means embracing the idea that when we come together, we can achieve more, uplift one another, and create positive change both within and beyond our studio walls.
To be anything in life, we must first commit to learning—about ourselves, others, and the world around us. At Modo Yoga, we encourage everyone to stay humble, curious, and passionate in their pursuit of knowledge and self-discovery. This value is reflected in our approach to teaching, where we create a space for exploration and growth, offering diverse classes and workshops that cater to all levels. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and by maintaining an open mind and a willingness to evolve, we can unlock our fullest potential.
Our commitment to Be Peace inspires us to foster environments where calm and connection flourish. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, we encourage individuals to cultivate inner harmony and resilience. Beyond the mat, we strive to build a community rooted in compassion, kindness, and mutual support. By practicing peace in our thoughts, actions, and relationships, we aim to create a ripple effect—nurturing not only our own well-being but also contributing to a more peaceful and unified world.
