I was staying in Le Marais during my trip in Paris, and I wanted to check out multiple yoga studios…read morein the area. I found Modo Yoga Paris by Google searching local spots. They had a great drop-in deal of 19 Euros for the first class. Mat, mat towel, and shower towel were included for the first class as well. The yoga instructor was very nice and friendly. When she checked me in she asked me what language I preferred, and she spoke English to me while she got me acquainted to the space. Mod Yoga was a lot bigger than I thought. It had a few rooms - I think I saw a total of 4 rooms - for practicing yoga and perhaps other fitness oriented styles like pilates. The locker room was big. I would even say probably the biggest one I've seen, and the first I've seen that included showers. I took a vinyasa class at 9:30am. The room was heated, and the class was full. The teacher taught the entirety of the class in French, which was totally fine since I understand French a little and was able to follow along easily by listening to Sanskrit and watching her demo. I had a very wonderful experience, and I would certainly come back to this studio next time I'm in the area.

It was in Toronto, Canada where I was first introduced to the Modo (Moksha) Yoga community and…read morewhere I first started practicing with them. Ever since I took my first class with Modo Yoga I knew it was the right place for me. When Modo Yoga came to Paris, I can't even begin to explain how excited I was! This was my chance to get back into my practice, and pick up where I left off after leaving Canada 6 years ago. Doing yoga in a hot room is definitely a bit different if you're used to practicing at normal ambient temperatures, but I truly believe it has so many benefits. These are the reasons why I love practicing in the hot room: 1. Improved Flexibility. The heat warms up your muscles, allowing you to have better range of motion/flexibility, ultimately allowing you to move at a quicker pace to more advanced postures 2. Breathing. The heat actually challenges your breathing, making it more audible and more importantly, making you more aware of it. 3. Mindfulness and acceptance. You learn to accept yourself, when you're drenched in sweat, when you have a tough time doing a posture as well as your neighbour. You become mindful of your thoughts and your body's limitations, the drama of the ego - accept and let it go. 4. Meditation and relaxation. The more I practice, the more my body takes control and my mind is freed. And the these are the reasons why I love Modo Yoga Paris! 1. Exceptional, inspiring teachers and staff! They always make me feel so at home, exude so much positivity and even after such a short time since they opened I have this feeling of knowing some of the staff for a very long time :) 2. Feeling part of a special community. It's like Modo Yoga has a filter at the front door, only positive energy and lovely people seem to walk through! 3. The ethos of Modo Yoga and how they truly embody their 7 pillars. Thanks for making my days all that much brighter!

Tatiana was so rude, no introduction no injuries question, she stayed on her Instagram feed the entire time before class, zero communication with students and could barely understand her cues even though I'm fluent in French because of how she was trying to talk. Her class was completely focused on her not the experience of paying students in the room. Same with Audrey, a yoga teacher shouldn't be practicing with students they should be teaching or demonstrating. She floated through her advanced asanas making sarcastic comments to students about how easy it was, gave hard assists without asking permission which was painful for my hip flexors and came in with the biggest ego I've witnessed in a teacher. Her rock and roll hard attitude is best suited in a bar not a yoga space. I've never walked out of a class thinking wtf just happened. At the prices your studio charges I would hope classes would be filled with kind genuine teachers that aren't obsessed with themselves and their cell phones. Good luck!

Quiet studio tucked off the busy streets of Paris was just what I was looking for. There was a variety of classes and folks of all ages and levels. The instructor spoke multiple languages during class (French, Italian and English) which made it easier to follow for all. I appreciated my instructor's knowledge to help correct some of my poses. And to end the class in shavasana staring out a skylight into the sky was moving to me.

My husband and I have been doing Pilates and yoga for 15 years in Los Angeles. We have been in…read moreParis for 6 weeks and have been attending yoga classes w/Letitia and private Pilates sessions w/Isabel and Dominic. They communicate in English as our French is insufficient. We have attended the 7:30 and 8 am yoga class which have not had more than 3 people in it -apparently the French are not early morning practitioners. The class is labeled ashtanga. Letitia is gentle and provides individualized adjustments. The class is gentle but provides a full body work out. Her chanting is beautiful and worth the class by itself. The Pilates/feldenkrais/Franklin body work has been excellent. Isabel and Dominic are excellent at observing your body and providing specific instructions tailored to you to improve the efficacy of your practice, strengthening your particular areas of weakness. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in strengthening their body with efficient safe instruction. The facility is clean, pleasant and filled with a lot of toys used for various types of body work. The reformers in Pilates room have also just been upgraded. There is also a new Cadillac. Other classes also look cool but we are only here for six weeks so have to make time for culture and restaurants too!
