The studio is probably the cleanest I have ever seen, and so inviting. The space is conveniently located on Greenlake, connected to a parking garage (so parking is never an issue).
They always have a calming effect (as most should), but even when I accidentally joined a class above my skill set, the instructor made me feel at ease while I did the best I could and I left calmed and determined to complete the difficult class after a little more practice. The classes are at ideal times for someone who works a salaried job who sometimes has to stay until 7pm. The owners are some of the most welcoming and friendly people I have had the pleasure of meeting, and this must be a requirement for anyone they employ, because each instructor is the same. I’ve tried a few of Seattle’s many hot yoga studios, but none enticed me to fully commit after an intro month was completed.
But overall, I’m a fan of Modo Yoga, and I enjoy taking their classes on the weekends! I’ll admit that this does get a bit costly, which keeps me from attending class on a more frequent basis. PCC offers parking validation with purchase, which I’ve been taking advantage of lately. There is a paid parking garage located underground, but I think Modo Yoga only offers parking validation for clients with monthly memberships. The class is a nice way to take time for yourself to relax and unwind. Depending on the instructor, the class will either focus on stretching the whole body, or focus more on stretching the back and opening the hips. The class is mostly stretching, but you’ll still break a sweat from the heat. The Modo class is VERY popular, so come early to get a good spot in class! The Yin class is a great class to get used to practicing in the heat. Some times there’s more focus on core work, and other times there’s more flow.
#MODO YOGA SEATTLE SERIES#
The poses in the standing series seem pretty standard, but I’ve noticed some variation among instructors when it comes to the seated/core/restorative series. The first half of the class is a series of standing poses, and the second half of class is a mix of seated, core and restorative poses. The Modo class will challenge your strength and balancing skills.
#MODO YOGA SEATTLE PLUS#
The mat cleaning and water stations are a big plus too. The studio and restrooms are well-maintained and consistently clean. Even when the class is full, there’s still a good amount of space in between mats, which I appreciate in a hot yoga setting. I can see how this studio has a strong following of yogis! I’ve taken the Modo and Yin classes, and they’ve been challenging - yet soothing - experiences. I used to be chicken about taking hot yoga class, but I actually enjoy it very much now thanks to Modo Yoga! The studio is spacious, the instructors/staff are very welcoming, and the classes are great. Simply hanging out in the studio with the instructors is worth the experience alone and will consistently improve your day. I couldn’t recommend this studio more! Head to toe - it’s awesome! Whether you love hot yoga or never thought you’d enjoy it, definitely give this place a try. I feel comfortable and relaxed the second I walk in. Smells amazing, eco-friendly, and has a great atmosphere and decorations. It’s also important to note that the studio itself is incredible. I am very picky with any type of fitness instructor and I can confidently say I’ve had some of the BEST yoga instructors that I’ve ever had.
Every instructor has amazing cues and consistently gives appropriate modifications to the poses and proper corrections during class. They always greet each student and are there to chat on the way out. They all rock! Such a great energy from the time you walk in to the time you leave. Each instructor brings a fun flare to each class. It can vary between classes but I have never felt that the heat overwhelmed me or make me feel uneasy (thoughts I had before trying hot yoga). I love that the room isn’t uncomfortably hot. I love this place! I’ve never tried hot yoga before and have never been attracted to the idea until I decided to try Modo.
