Day 71 of 90: Modo Yoga, It Begins With You

Last updated on: September 19, 2013 at 3:52 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 71 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Modo Yoga and today’s class taught by Emily B was wonderful. She shared with us about the day of peace on September 21st, and asked us to contemplate, “What does peace mean to you?” I have been asked this question a couple times, in classes, and at services, and my answer today really surprised me, here it is, “acceptance.”  So I used that as my intention for class today. Emily... Read more

Last updated on: September 17, 2013 at 4:55 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 69 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Modo Yoga and I found myself in a flow class with teacher Matt.  I like Matt’s no BS style of teaching it cuts right to the core and to the point.  Today in class we focused on the deepening of the pose and adding some twists, along with lots of flow. The practice was filled with flow and instruction.  Matt has been speaking on the Ganesh holding a poker, a... Read more

Last updated on: September 16, 2013 at 4:01 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 68 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Modo Yoga and in practice today I was inspired by a gentleman practicing on my left side.  It was his first time practicing, and he was probably around 7o years old and he was taking the flow class.  I came out and told him after class that he was, “Rad”. That is right rad! I loved it! Today’s class was taught by teacher Grant, and it was a flow class. ... Read more

Last updated on: September 13, 2013 at 12:56 pm   By David Matthew Brown

Day 65 of 90 straight days of hot yoga at Modo Yoga and I discovered that the breath is the drumbeat of the spirit, and the heart is the vision.  In yoga practice as we move together as a class, we move like the inner workings of the body.  Everyone is playing a part and each part matters to the whole. Today in practice Teacher Joe led us through a vigorous flow, followed by a restorative practice. Joe always has... Read more
