A Letter From Modo Yoga CEO: Reflecting on Our 21st AGM and A new Era for Modo Yoga

This past week, we gathered in community for Modo Yoga’s 21st Annual General Meeting; a milestone that reminds me just how far we’ve come, and how much further we’re going.

Over three powerful days, Modo Yoga studio owners and managers from across North America came together to connect, plan, celebrate, build, and most of all – have a whole lot of fun. If you’ve ever been to a Modo event, you know there’s a special kind of energy: part educational, part heart, and always grounded in our shared values. It’s this spirit that continues to make Modo Yoga more than a business—it’s truly a movement.

Modo Yoga would not be what it is today without our incredible studio owners and managers. These are the fearless leaders who have transformed 4 walls into warm, welcoming sanctuaries. They do far more than simply provide hot yoga classes. They’ve built spaces that foster real human connection, educate their communities, and remind us all to slow down, in a world that seems hyper-focused on productivity and hustle.

Each studio is a reflection of its local community and a testament to the vision, dedication, and compassion of its owner. It is through their leadership that Modo Yoga continues to grow, not just in number, but in impact. 

This year, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve already awarded 7 new Modo Yoga territories in 2025, with more on the way before year’s end. These new studios represent not just geographical growth, but the expansion of a community that’s deeply committed to mindfulness, sustainability, and meaningful entrepreneurship.

As part of that evolution, we also launched two new class offerings – Modo Hot Pilates and Modo Core Flow. Both class will roll out at studio locations across North America this fall. These classes are complementary offerings to our foundational Modo pracitce, and reflect our commitment to innovation, and to offering our members new ways to build strength, balance, and inner resilience.

Modo Yoga is truly entering a new era of growth. We are seeing large momentum, particularly in the U.S. market, where wellness, community, and conscious business are more important than ever. With a values-driven franchise model and proven support systems, we’re now perfectly positioned to scale with purpose, welcoming new owners who are ready to lead with heart and build with intention.

Our AGM wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our partners and sponsors: Xplor, Elevate by Welch, Coldture, Wellhub, TD Bank, Bell, FitGrid, Commerce Garage, and Civilian Screen Printing. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us bring this event, and this community, to life.

If you’ve been watching Modo Yoga from the sidelines, maybe as a longtime student, a passionate teacher, or a purpose-driven entrepreneur – this is your moment. We’re actively looking for new studio owners who want to invest in a profitable business and be part of something that truly makes a difference. Learn more about opening your own studio.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and we’re even more excited about where we’re going.

With gratitude and momentum,

Emily Drouillard

Chief Executive Officer, Modo Yoga International
