What does it mean to “be healthy”? This is the first pillar of Modo Yoga and it means a lot. We practice hot yoga regularly. We drink a lot of water. We nourish ourselves with healthy meals. Be Healthy is more than just what we do on the outside.  Read this blog post by Jessica Robertson, one of the founders of Modo Yoga. She describes the essence of this pillar, more than just what we consume to be healthy, it’s about how we create a healthy body, healthy mind and healthy community.

Modo Yoga San Diego Yogis,

I hope all of you are enjoying summer. One of our goals here at Modo Yoga San Diego is to create a sense of community both on and off the mat.  With that in mind, one of our students recently conducted an interview with us to dig deeper into our yoga life especially focusing on our why.  Without further ado, here is Part 1 of 2 of the “Get to know Team Palyniak” interview!

Q: How and why did you start practicing yoga?

Frenny:  My best friend took me to a yoga class at her local gym back in the late 90’s. I kept giggling and rolling my eyes and goofed off but I enjoyed the class. Fast forward to December 2007 – Andrew and I moved back to Canada after 2 years in sunny Australia. I wanted to start in hot yoga in the winter so I googled “hot yoga in Edmonton” and came across Moksha Yoga. The heat was amazing and I had never sweat like that before that day (even those hot Australian summers!). I started a daily practice and felt the benefits right away.  I was more flexible, stronger and breathing more smoothly. Every class blew my mind and my body was capable of doing much more than I ever thought possible. I also noticed how yoga affected the other areas of my life by improving my performance at work, handling challenges with more tact and grace, and approaching situations with more compassion for the other person.

Andrew:  I started practicing yoga because Frenny introduced me to the studio where she was practicing. She had been practicing for about 8 months at a Moksha studio in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I was curious because I noticed her sweaty laundry in the basket several times a week and I love to be challenged in different ways and being exposed to new things. During her first 8 months of practice I was working a lot, like 60+ hours per week so I never got around to it until August of 2008. We got married shortly after my first yoga experience at the end of August and spent the beginning of September on our honeymoon. Soon after we got back from the honeymoon we both started going to yoga several times a week and from that point we didn’t stop.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I would do hot yoga twice a day to survive an Edmonton winter!  I love how Frenny’s yoga practice spilled over to make her more effective in other areas of her life and how Andrew’s open-mindedness and desire for challenge led him to embrace his inner yogi.  Also, it all started with a Google search!)  

Q:  What is your mindset when you step onto the mat?

Frenny:  My mindset turns inwards and I focus on my breath.  Initially, I might be thinking about my day or my “To-Do” list, but after a few breaths, build my focus to become present in my body and take my practice one pose at a time.  And no matter how I start my practice, I always feel better afterwards.

Andrew:  Through the ups and downs of life while practicing yoga consistently, I’ve found that the practice helps me stay tuned to myself. To be clear, the mat is where I come back to being grounded in the most basic way; it’s just me and my breath and it reminds me of how important it is to know the meaning of our inherited gift of being alive. From this place I can appreciate all I have been exposed to in my life experience from the most basic understanding of the foundation of the breath.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I admire how y’all are able to break yoga down to the simplest action and mindset.  Reading the words makes it sound so simple and maybe even easy but I know it’s not!)

Q:  There are so many types of yoga to practice – What attracted you to the Modo/Moksha practice?

Frenny:  The heat! The radiant heat panels that we use are so energy efficient and such a direct form of heat that you literally feel the heat immediately.  I also love that the heat is consistent throughout the class.  Modo Yoga is taught with a focus on alignment and the holds are long enough that you can challenge yourself or back off and find just the right pose for you on any given day.  I also love that all Modo studios are environmentally friendly with cork floors, plant based cleaning products and low VOC paints.

Andrew:  Yes there are many choices out there. Modo was our first long term experience at a studio. We’ve tried a bit of yoga elsewhere but never really opened up to it until we moved back from our experience in Australia.

In the Modo Level 1 training we are encouraged to practice at other studios which was a great experience. It helps to see the different approaches, practices, emphases and so on that occur in any lineage. It is always good to expose yourself to something different, to know a possible different approach to the same practice. I think this really adds to a personal practice and the teaching practice.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I ALSO love the heat!  But, I’ve loved this studio from Day 1 for the vibe –you have managed to open a studio leaving ego and judgment out of the yoga room.  I feel Modo Yoga San Diego is a place where anyone can practice and make progress on their practice whatever foundation and whatever current fitness level they bring.  I’ve practiced a couple different forms of yoga over the past 15 years and the focus on the alignment makes me feel as if this practice is more restorative than what I had practiced previously.)

Q:  How and why did you become a yoga teacher?  How long have you been teaching yoga?

Frenny:  After practicing regularly for a year there was an opportunity in 2009 to take Moksha Yoga Teacher Training in India – funny enough one of my job offers after working in Australia was to work in another satellite office in Pune, India. I turned the offer down but found myself being drawn back to India for a different reason – to become a yoga teacher. I wanted to expand my knowledge of yoga and deepen my practice, explore meditation and the history of yoga. I was really nervous about becoming a teacher and was worried that I wouldn’t be good enough. The Moksha Teacher Training is 500 hrs and includes a 30 day intensive – that was exactly what I needed to change my mindset and learn about yoga. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2009.

Andrew:  I challenged myself to take the Modo Level 1 teacher training to deepen my practice and understanding of yoga. Frenny mentioned to me one day after noticing a bulletin at our home studio about the next teacher training being in India of February 2009. She really wanted to take the training and for me, being about eight months behind her in starting a practice, I felt I wasn’t ready to teach.  However, I didn’t feel a need or intention to teach but rather just learn more. Plus, I like to travel.  Since I hadn’t been to India, it seemed like a perfect combination for adventure and yoga.

The Modo Level 1 training is a 500 hour course of 300 hours one month intensive and 200 hours of distance learning through various projects. In order to spend one month away from work I had to quit my job as my employer at the time would not allow me to take four weeks off at one time. This was understandable since I was working in construction and I knew there was more work in the future when I get back so I took the leap. It was worth it and it is definitely one of the most life changing things I’ve done.

It actually took me around 5-6 months to warm up to the idea of teaching. I tried the practice teaching part of the course as best I could after arriving home from training to help retain the exposure to all the new information. I hated to speak aloud in front of people my whole life as well which didn’t help the situation. This really stagnated my growth to teach but luckily the owner of the studio helped me along by introducing a silent class where I would lead the class by doing all the poses with very limited cueing only necessitated by the switching of sides for asymmetrical poses or moving into the next pose if vision was limited to catch the next pose such as lying prone.

I started officially teaching in June of 2010. By this time, I completed all my projects and had gotten used to teaching through the combination of silent classes and further practice through community classes. In total, I’ve been teaching for about 8.5 years. I still feel like a beginner.

(Interviewer’s Note:  Wow!  I love that you two got your teacher training at the yoga source in India and made some significant life changes to expand your yoga minds and become teachers.  Andrew, I don’t think any of us in class would ever guess you were shy when you first started teaching.  I personally appreciate the dry humor sprinkled throughout the your classes )

Q:     What is the most rewarding part of being a yoga teacher?

Frenny:  There are so many!  For me the most rewarding part of being a yoga teacher is when a student wants to further their own practice and take the teacher training.  The teacher training course, as discussed previously by Andrew, is 500 hours and it’s a life-changing experience.  We made life-long friends around the world and have such an amazing world-wide community of talented teachers and leaders.

Andrew:  The most rewarding part of being a teacher is witnessing the development of awareness in practitioners, the transformation from one of certain doubt to a sort of awakening to the ability to coordinate breath and movement. Just as important is to hear feedback that has complemented the physical and/or mental well-being of anyone the participates at our studio.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I imagine that it must be so affirming to see progress in folks’ practice.  It must also be amazing to know that folks feel better physically and mentally.  And I bet that some days you get to witness breakthroughs that must leave you feeling stoked that you got to be part of something like that).

Q:  Inquiring minds want to know – how did you two meet?

Frenny:  Andrew and I met in high school in the early 90’s – we went to different schools but lived in the same ‘hood. One day he started talking to me (I was wearing Doc Martins and a Chili Peppers shirt), and he had a skateboard and a Dead Kennedys shirt. Not much has changed hahaha! That meeting didn’t take us very far, we crossed paths many years later in 1999. It was Reading Week (Canadian spring break because it’s still winter in March haha!) and I was at a bar with my friends. I recognized him and went to say hi – the rest is history!

Andrew:  Frenny and I met at a bus stop that we both used to use to get to school. There was only one public bus that would travel through our neighborhood to get to the nearest terminal to transfer to another route. I remember seeing her occasionally whether before or after school and always wanted to talk to her but for the longest time I felt too shy to get into a conversation. One day I finally got enough guts to talk to her after getting dropped off at our usual stop to go home. We dated for a short while at the beginning of our last year of High School in September of 1993.  Coincidentally, Frenny knew my older sister from a part time high school job and my younger brother played on the same hockey team as Frenny’s brother since we lived in the same community.

After a couple of months we drifted apart, since we went to different schools and had packed schedules.  We wouldn’t meet again until a few years later at a bar on a popular strip in Edmonton’s south side when I was celebrating from finishing my second year apprenticeship in Carpentry and Frenny was out with friends from the nearby University of Alberta.

(Interviewer’s Note:  Ha!  Hardcore punk rock and Psychedelic punk rock are like two sides of the same coin so I can see how that initial impression would make it easier to strike up a conversation!  Frenny, you are much smarter than I am because I was holed up studying my booty off during my “Reading Week” as opposed to kicking it at a bar!)

Q:   At what point did you decide – we want to open a yoga studio?

Frenny:  I knew early on that opening a yoga studio was definitely something I wanted to pursue. My formative years as a yoga student were in Edmonton and this was an incredible studio with a strong community and excellent teachers. The vibe at the studio was inclusive, energetic and fun. I knew this was something I wanted to take on and after training I was definitely humbled and decided I needed more experience as a teacher. Fast forward a few years and a few more yoga trainings later, we decided that we were ready and applied to open our studio.

Andrew:  It wasn’t until sometime in 2012 that we decided that we should consider opening a studio. It’s funny because upon entering into the journey of yoga and my first teacher training, even teaching yoga was not entirely considered, let alone the opening of a studio.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I think it’s safe to speak for the San Diego Modo Yoga Community here – We are SO GRATEFUL you decided to open your studio here.)

Q:  Why San Diego?

Frenny:  Living in Newcastle, Australia was such a huge influence in our lives. We wanted to live in a beachside community with a stable economy and medium-size population. Win-win-win. When we thought about our future, raising kids and eventually retiring we liked the climate, economy and opportunity that San Diego provided, all while being within a 4 hour flight to visit family.

Andrew:  San Diego made the most sense to us because it is a coastal city with easy access to the beach for surfing, a year-round mild and relatively balanced climate. It also has the benefit of being located in the state of California which seems to be more progressive in relation to world affairs, political and social philosophy.

(Interviewer’s Note:  I’ve not ever been to Newcastle, Australia, but if it’s anything like San Diego, it must be amazing.)

 

Stay tuned for Part 2 of my interview with Team Palyniak where we get to know what types of careers they led before becoming yogis, who they consider their yoga mentors, their favorite books, authors and quotes as well as some other interesting tidbits. 

Rumor has it that members of the Modo Yoga Community enjoyed Part 1 of the Team Palyniak interview.  In Part 2, we get to know Andrew and Frenny a little better, learn about their mentors and what inspires them, what challenges they face, as well as which poses they love and the ones they don’t love so much.

Q:  What were your jobs/careers before opening this studio?

Frenny:  I graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc in Electrical Engineering in 2000. I worked for a local software company that soon became international. For the first 5 years I got to work and travel to locations all over Northern Alberta, USA and even Bermuda. In 2005 I had the opportunity to move to the Newcastle, Australia office and that was amazing. For 2 years we changed our lifestyles, diets, activities and made new friends. Initially the change of living in Australia was hard to cope with – driving on the other side of the road, different customs, different language (seriously!!) but after 6 months we settled in and started to enjoy this new lifestyle. After Australia we made our way back to Edmonton in December 2007.

Andrew:  I was working as a Journeyman Scaffolder and Journeyman Carpenter for most of my career but as I delve more into yoga and teaching part time while working full time, things started to shift. Once we thought that a studio could be a possibility, we started to turn our attention in that direction. There was a job opening at the studio and I was shifted into a more yoga centered life.

(Interviewer’s note:  I always find it fascinating to hear folks’ backgrounds.  Carpentry and engineering seem like very practical skills to have when you build out and own your own studio but those backgrounds also must give you a broader life perspective.  I appreciate that you both spent a lot of time teaching and working in another successful studio so you had an opportunity to gain lots of knowledge and experience.  Andrew’s woodworking featured in the studio is stunning, by the way!)

Q:  We know you are Canadians since you are so polite and kind hearted…  can you share a little about where you come from?

Frenny:  I was actually born in London, England and when I was 2 years old my parents decided to move to Canada.

Andrew:  I was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at a very young age. My family would travel back to Chicago once a year or so to visit family that remained in the US so I felt lucky to experience a little taste of something different. That being said, I am culturally more Canadian. Canada is an easy place to live. It is a beautiful country and has a lot of diversity in its four seasons and population. Canadians are generally easy going and easy to get along. I find it similar here in San Diego, and I think there are many similarities in the kindness of Americans.

(Interviewer’s note:  Ok, I think Andrew is giving some Americans a lot more credit than we deserve.  As the parent of a 10 ½ year old, I hope that I’m raising someone who says as many pleases and thank yous as Canadians… that and a lower sense of entitlement than her American cohorts.)

Q:   From previous discussions, I understand you moved to San Diego without a specific location in mind, what attracted you to this spot?

Frenny:  Clairemont was a hidden gem. We had other neighborhoods in mind but our searches turned up empty. Our agent came across the location and as soon as we came up the hill and saw the building, we were on board. The space was really important to us as we wanted a larger room and shower/locker room facilities.

Andrew:  The climate and coastal location attracted us.  And Clairemont has a bit more of a laid back vibe and unpretentiousness.

(Interviewer’s note:  Your studio has one of the best views in San Diego and I so appreciate your space has shower and locker room facilities as it makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable!)

Q:  The studio has a great vibe – can you share with us a little bit about your vision?

Frenny:  Our vision was to create a relaxed space where everyone can practice, drink tea and enjoy meeting new faces. For some people, practicing yoga is the only “break” they get in their day and we didn’t want people to feel rushed in/out of our space. Stay. Drink tea. Laugh. Relax. My favorite part of the day is when we come out of class and start laughing about the funny words/expressions used in class or the bonus double set of dancer’s pose.

Andrew:  All are welcome to practice here. We want to be inclusive and friendly to everyone to share our positive experience of yoga. Yoga can be intimidating for some to get started that is why we emphasize the pillar of “Be Accessible” within our studio. There are 7 Pillars that our studio and our greater Modo Community work with to stay connected and in tune.  The pillars are:  1) Be Community 2) Be Healthy, 3) Live to Learn, 4) Be Accessible, 5) Be Green, 6) Be Peace.

All are important and interrelated within our studio framework.

(Interviewer’s Note:  First, the inclusivity is palpable here as I’ve mentioned previously.  Moreover, I feel as if the sense of community grows each day.  There is a certain intimacy and respect you gain for other folks in class even though the focus is on ourselves.  While any yoga can be physically demanding, doing yoga in the heat requires a certain hutzpah that makes it easier to connect with others outside of class, in my opinion.  Frenny and Andrew add to this by being super knowledgeable but not egotistical in their approach to teaching and running the studio.  I also love how they hang out after class and answer questions.)

Q:  Who have been your most important heroes, mentors and/or teachers?

Frenny:  Personally my first teacher, Angela in Edmonton was a huge mentor and inspiration for me to start the journey of becoming a teacher. She spent a lot of time training us and guiding us and still checks in with us once in a while! I’m also inspired by our larger Modo/Moksha community – there are a lot of strong leaders in the community.

Andrew:  To answer first in generality, every teacher that I have taken a class with has had an influence in some way. Particularly, I’d say that Angela Zawada, the studio owner of the two Modo studios in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, has had the most influence on me. She is a strong teacher, very knowledgeable and really knows how to deliver a great class. She is also a talented studio owner who knows how to effectively embody the delicate dynamics of ownership and creating a thriving community feel.

(Interviewer’s Note:  Hmmm, I feel like I need to interview Angela for a future blog post.  Also, I’m crossing my fingers she might be a guest teacher in the future!)

Q:   What are your favorite books or authors?

Frenny: 

Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh

Born with a Question Mark in your Heart by Osho

Mindfulness Yoga by Frank Boccio

When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold Kushner

 

Andrew: 

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis with Larry Stoman

All for a Few Perfect Waves by David Rensen

The Wisdom of Yoga by Stephen Cope

Hell Bent:  The Obsession, Pain and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga by Benjamin Lorr

(Interviewer’s Note:  At the risk of sounding unintelligent, I’m admitting that I’ve only read one book from this entire list – the Kushner book.  However, I’m going to add these to my constantly growing list of books to read.  I don’t know about the rest of y’all but the Hell Bent book Andrew mentioned is jumping out at me as I’ve wondered what competitive yoga is about.)

 

Q:  Can you share your favorite quote or quotes?

 

Frenny:  Oh there are so many! Right now one of my favorite quotes is by Rumi “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.”

 

Andrew:  “Do not speak – unless it improves on silence” Buddhist Saying.

“If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path.” Buddhist Saying.

 

“We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.” Lao Tzu

(Interviewer’s Note:  I love all 4 of these quotes though I have to say I’m still trying to wrap my head around the Rumi quote.  I get it… sort of.  I don’t do this exercise daily but I think it’s fun pick a quote in the morning, think about it for a few minutes, maybe even meditate on it, let it marinate in your brain all day and then revisit it the next morning to see if your perspective has changed, or if it hasn’t.  I think I’m going to pick one of these and do that fun exercise tomorrow.)

 

Q:  Tell me more about Karma Classes – how do you choose what organizations you would like to support?

 

Frenny:  We like to pick local charities that focus on humanitarian and environmental initiatives.

 

Andrew:  We like to choose Charities that are local so that our presence in the community is most effective. For 2 months out of the year, we support a charity that is selected through the greater Modo community during the community’s “Grow Your Yoga” campaign in an effort to be more effective in the greater world community.

 

(Interviewer’s Note: I think it’s hard for any business, especially one in its infancy to want to focus any monetary benefit outside of the business.  I admire your individual and Modo’s collective desire to make the world a better place through yoga AND donations of money.)

 

Q:  What gets you leaping out of bed in the morning (besides teaching the 6 am class)?

 

Frenny:  The sound of my dog throwing up! Nothing gets me up faster, lol.

 

Andrew:  My dog Ozzy.

 

(Interviewer’s Note:  Been there, lol.)

 

Q:  What are some of the challenges you’ve experienced as a yoga teacher and owner?

 

Frenny:   The biggest challenges I’ve experienced as a yoga teacher is to ensure that I’m staying well hydrated and nourished to teach multiple classes a day! As an owner the challenges are different – I’ve found it difficult to do community outreach and participate in community events. Being part of the local community is so important to us. We want to work with other small businesses and create a positive impact in our city!

Andrew:  One of the biggest challenges as a yoga teacher is to set time for myself to recharge mentally and physically, stay informed (make time to read books, meditate, practice yoga alone) and stay out of my head – meaning to refresh myself with the reason I teach and practice yoga.

As an owner some of the biggest challenges is to stay ahead in order to plan the schedule so that we can offer the most we can to all of our practitioners.

(Interviewer’s Note:  Just throwing this out there to other Modo Yoga practitioners – let’s make a concerted effort to join Andrew and Frenny for their next community event!  I’ll make sure the event is well publicized and then perhaps we can help create more positive momentum for this amazing studio.  In all seriousness, though, I think it must be difficult to switch between a yogi and a business mindset.  The two are not mutually exclusive concepts, but running a small business requires 24/7/365 attention and doesn’t leave much room for self-care.)

 

Q:  What advice would you give a well-practiced yogi to take their practice to the next level?

 

Frenny:  There are so many angles to this question. It really depends on the person but my advice to challenge the practice is to take a step back from the physical practice and focus more on pranayama, meditation and work from within to create inner peace and calmness. These are all qualities that need to be present during a physical practice and take a lot of discipline, practice and concentration.

 

Andrew:  Practice with a beginner’s mind, never stop learning and never think that you know it all.

(Interviewer’s Note:  Cultivating a beginner’s mindset and inner peace and calmness seem like qualities we should take to everything we do, not just our yoga practice.)

 

Q:  Do you have a favorite posture?  What about a least favorite?  Why?

Frenny:  This also changes from time to time! Right now, I’m enjoying Warrior 2 because of the challenge of sustaining strength and keeping a calm and strong mental focus. My least favorite pose at this time is Awkward Pose – my arches are tender and this pose has always been a huge challenge for me! 

Andrew:  Favorite pose – Savasana.  Ha!  I also really like Dancer’s Pose, I feel that there is a lot of untapped potential in that pose for me.

Least favorite pose could be Eagle Pose.  For some reason, I just never really warmed up to it, but I feel I have improved a lot since I first started.

 (Interviewer’s Note:  My favorite and least favorite poses change daily.  I also struggle with Awkward Pose and Eagle Pose – both require a lot of strength, balance and mobility.  Some days they are easier, other days harder but I have definitely improved over the years.)

 

Q:  What are your favorite hobbies when you aren’t busy running or teaching at Modo?

 

Frenny:  I love to bake. Maybe we’ll open a bakery next door!

 

Andrew:  I enjoy surfing and motorcycling. Other things like going for long walks or hikes are definitely fun too.

(Interviewer’s Note: Frenny, I saw those profiteroles coated in dark chocolate on Instagram the other day.  They looked amazing!  Andrew, I knew you love to surf but didn’t know that you also enjoy motorcycles.  In summary, this interview has been a fun exercise and I hope that folks in the broader Modo Community have also enjoyed the process.)

Modo Yoga Classes Start And End In Savasana – Why?

Savasana – aka corpse pose – can bring your body to a state of equilibrium and ease, especially important if you lead a really busy life. What literally takes a few minutes and zero effort seems challenging. Urges start to take over, you start to plan other activities. Your mind says “I’d rather wait in the lobby until class starts”. You feel the urge to lean over and whisper to your neighbor “it’s hot in here”.

Here’s a link to an great blog post by Andrew Jobes, a Modo teacher from Peterborough, Ontario. He describes the simplicity and turbulence that define savasana. Simply stated, it’s a great way to understand why we start and end each Modo yoga class in savasana.

We love savasana. Let us know what you think!
