I went here for hot yoga one day with a friend. I was next to her, and unfortunately directly under the additional heat of the sun coming through the window. Great class, I was completely dead after. Hint: try not to place your mat under the window on a warm day. It won't go well. Friendly staff, knowledgeable, and encouraging. read more

Beautiful studio... very welcoming, friendly, and spacious. Love that you can reserve your spot on the floor ahead of time. Lovely instructors. read more

Last week I went to a yin yoga class for the first time and it was such a great experience. I really enjoyed yin yoga specifically because of the deep stretches. I had worked out a few days before and was still feeling sore going in, but by the time I left, the soreness was completely gone. The instructor Claire was amazing. She was super friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire class. She explained the poses well and offered adjustments so everyone could get the most out of the session. The only downside was how many people were in the class. It was super crowded, but they did a good job spacing everyone out so that you still had your own little area without bumping into anyone. The studio itself was very clean and had a calming, relaxing vibe that made it easy to unwind. Overall, it was a refreshing experience. If I was not moving to Chicago, I would definitely sign up for the membership. read more

This used to be my go-to spot for yoga -- a place that felt grounding through the ups and downs of life. After a tough year and recovering from surgery, I was finally ready to return. Recently, I reached out to ask for a little more time off since I just lost my job. I was originally chatting with Claire, who was kind and understanding, but then Frenny stepped in and abruptly told me no. I was informed that my membership could no longer be paused -- my only option was to cancel and come back later, at a higher rate of $40 more per month. It was a really disappointing interaction after years of loyalty and support. I used to speak so highly of this studio, but the shift toward a more profit-driven approach has left a bad taste in my mouth. It can definitely be hard to juggle building a studio that is community oriented while dealing with the realities of financial responsibility. But you made a decision here that speaks a lot about your heart in this situation. Had there been just a little grace -- even one month to get back on my feet -- I would have gladly returned. Instead, I was told with a smile to come back for donation classes. That says everything. At the end of the day, I have to ask: could you have helped me, or did you just choose not to? As the owner of the studio, you hold a lot of power. There's a big difference between not being able to do something and not wanting to. And in this situation, it truly felt like you just didn't want to help me. read more

I started on Sunday. I left a 90 minute hot yoga class with my body covered in sweat head to toe. I passed out right after, never made it to for shower. Had the most amazing blissfully peaceful sleep. The teachers are great as I try to remember all I've forgotten over the last decade when I used to go to hot yoga 6 days a week. I started Pilates in January and been hitting that hard ~ now time to layer on yoga and the gym. read more

Best heated yoga studio ever. Awesome owners, awesome teachers, great classes. Highly recommend.

This studio is amazing on all levels. From the instructors to the beautiful space. I like how this studio is set up with a lobby when you walk in, then to an area to hang out after class and have a cup of complimentary tea. They encourage silence in the hot room which is great for those who want to meditate before or after practice. The room is always heated and very clean which I love. The hot room has been mindfully spaced out with spots that you can reserve easily through their app. They have a really nice and clean locker room with showers. I've taken classes with every instructor at Modo and they all are amazing. Each instructor is inspiring and have something unique to offer. They even offer hands on adjustments for those who want it. I have learned something different from all instructors. From the very beginning when I was brought to Modo as a guest, I was hooked. read more

The Modo studio is such a warm, welcoming place. I absolutely love every class I take, the instructors are well informed and create an environment where I can truly step into my practice! Judgement free zone and a wonderful community ! read more

I've been coming on and off to Modo for years since they opened. Frenny is fantastic, clear calm confident voice with great progressions and instruction. So friendly too. Clean and beautiful space. read more

I started going to Modo Yoga on a more consistent basis in June/July 2023. I was experiencing some personal issues. Unbeknownst to me, this community became my was my mental and retreat. I have shed some tears during class as I learned to feel and release my thoughts. From Frenny and Andrew, the owners to all of the amazing instructors, they make you feel welcomed and loved from the time you step foot in the front door. I am amazed that they greet every person by their name. Clare, Moises, Bethany, Lauren, Sze, Lindsey, Michelle you all are awesome. Thank you for sharing your energy time after time. If you want to be a part of a great community, come for a visit. I am sure you will keep coming back. 5 Stars are not enough! read more

There is a reason they have 5 stars!! Modo Yoga is wonderful with amazing and kind staff and a very clean facility. I was new to yoga but instantly felt at home at Modo, which prompted me to go almost daily. They have a great assortment of classes as well. If you're looking for a yoga studio with a community feel, you'll love Modo. read more

I just completed my 60th class! I recently moved to SD and promised myself I would invest in selfcare. Modoyoga is much more than a workout. It is a community that cares for your mind, body and spirit. New to yoga I felt welcomed and never judged by what I couldn't do, only encouraged. Teachers offer alternate postures to help you work around any issues, like old knees you may have. The teachers are knowledgeable, caring & patient. The studio is beautiful and space & the dressing rooms are spotless. The monthly membership is a real value. Booking and canceling classes online is easy, and you get to choose your spot! Another plus is free parking. Thank you Frenny, Andrew, Lauren, Clare, Bethany, Sze, Lindsey and Michelle for getting me started on a wonderful practice! read more

I tried my first hot yoga class last fall & fell in love with this studio! As a lifelong runner who has always struggled with flexibility, I was initially anxious about embarrassing myself in the heat holding different poses... but over 150 classes later, I'm definitely OBSESSED. Pros: -Clean space with lockers, showers, & bathrooms -Super friendly instructors -Easy to use app to book classes - I love how easy it is to rebook/cancel, as needed, & I can choose my spot to practice in! -Lots of parking in their lot -Free use of blocks with every class Cons: -None, I wish I lived even closer so I could take more classes... Hot yoga has been so great for my mental health! read more

I have been going to Modo Yoga for over 3 years and absolutely love the classes, studio, and instructors. I've taken a majority of my classes with Frenny, Andrew, and Lauren (that's just how my schedule aligned) but have always had a great experience no matter who is leading the class. All you need is a mat, mat towel, water, and face towel. You can also rent a mat and towel, as well as purchase some hydration goodies. The studio and lockers are well kept and clean. The Modo app is easy to use to book your spot in class. I like the flexibility of choosing between purchasing class packs and the monthly membership (which you can bring 2 guests/month) depending on my schedule. I cannot recommend this place enough! Pro tip: Thursday 7pm class is $10 and goes towards a charity of the month :) read more

Favorite yoga studio I've been to in San Diego! I was looking for a hot yoga studio to go and stumbled upon Modo and so glad I did. They have a great, inexpensive trial period that's super worth giving a shot. I immediately felt welcomed and in a non-judgemental space which was important to me as I am new to my yoga practice. The owners and instructors do a great job of warmly greeting everyone by their name. In regards to the practice, there are a variety of class types for everyone's different abilities and you are always welcome to do what your body needs which is essential. I can't recommend Modo Yoga enough. So glad I stumbled upon this gem! read more

So I'm not the biggest fan of hot yoga, but for some reason I'm still drawn into trying out hot yoga places lol. Looked at the class schedule, and was intrigued about their $5 karma classes, which I find out are special hot yoga classes where the admission fees to these classes go toward a charity of the studio's choice (this month's charity money is going towards the SD Food Bank). I love this concept and that definitely motivated me to give this place a shot (also this place is less than 10 min away from where I live so I don't have a real excuse to not go haha). Was welcomed by the staff, including Frenny, one of the owners of the studio (very sweet lady!). I think it's a cute idea of having your shoes to be taken off right when you enter the studio; it's like being a guest at a home haha. I took this week's karma class. Class was great, despite me sweating like a swine. There were enough attendees to fill the entire room. Everyone was in their own zone, no judgment at all. Pretty cool that they have drying racks for your towel and yoga mat, and people were chatting it up outside of the yoga room while cooling down after class. The complimentary tea definitely hit the spot after class haha loved it. Strong community vibes over here; not pretentious at all. Clean studio. I definitely recommend going to this place especially if you're into hot yoga! read more

I was so fortunate to have lived so close to this yoga studio since I just so happened to walk by with one of my good friends and that was when the owner/yogi instructor Frenny invited us in and encouraged us to try the classes. We did later, and we were both so impressed with the level of guided practice options, cleanliness of the studio, as well as the other offerings (tea, water, and a literally interactive blackboard ("chalkboard"). In addition, there are specialized classes and challenges that happen throughout the year. I highly recommend this yoga studio. P.S. I brought a friend to try out the studio and she was so jealous that they did not have this where she lived. She ended up getting a membership and drove from Escondido. read more

Great people and very relaxing. Enjoy the sweat and the stretching Feel your body release and embrace the yin and the yang!!! :) read more

Modo yoga has been a very positive and life Changing experience for me as well as the perfect place to begin my yoga journey. I started with Yin yoga because I'm a beginner but there are lots of more advanced classes as well that I am slowly dipping my toes into . The studio strictly adheres to current Covid protocols. I look forward to the day we don't need to wear masks ( hopefully soon) but I applaud Modo for doing what it takes to keep the studio thriving and safe . Frenny and Andrew are excellent instructions. I haven't really tried other teachers yet but as soon as my skills are solid I will try them all! Thank you Modo and staff for all you do to make the world a more sane and healthy place. I love everything about this practice and especially how clean and odorless the studio always is. I have heard terrible stories of the smells from other hot yoga studios. Not at Modo . You guys rock! read more

This review is long overdue, but this is the most incredible yoga studio I have ever been a part of. I found this studio when I was going through a breakup and very depressed, and I remember after the first class I just intuitively knew I needed to keep coming here. This place served as an anchor as I rebuilt my life. The staff here are good, kind people and the classes are very healing and rejuvenating. I went here for nearly 2 years and would still if I didn't move out of state. This place is one of kind! read more

the studio is nice and clean. I enjoyed the heat, but was mislead by the studio management into thinking they had a class similar to the 26 postures in Bikram yoga. They do not and I had already paid for the two week intro. I asked to only be charged for the one class, as I am here from out of town and don't have a car. Taking Ubers to/from a class i don't enjoy is not sustainable. they have not honored my request and I am very disappointed about it. too bad I can't give them a better review read more

This may sound dramatic, but seriously Modo Yoga has been life changing for me. Being an A type personality and carrying more than the average persons share of stress and challenges in my day to day life, Modo Yoga is exactly what I needed. Not only is the studio beautiful and welcoming (the aesthetic is that of a high end spa complete with daily freshly brewed tea, kombucha, music and organic cleaning methods), but the teachers lead amazing classes that are both energizing and healing/cleansing. They each carry their own peaceful energy, exhibiting their balanced energy in unique and genuine ways. During class they offer both opportunities to push your limits, as well as room to give yourself patience, understanding and forgiveness with modified options for each movement and words of encouragement. You can't help but feel like they sincerely care about you. They have become my home away from home and I find myself craving my daily yoga practice. My husband is also enjoying my leaner and more toned figure, while I am enjoying feeling more balanced in all aspects of my life. Try Modo Yoga! You won't regret it! read more

I love taking classes here! The teachers are smart, caring & patient. The studio is a beautiful space & the locker room/showers are always pristine. You can often see the sunrise & sunset from the studio, plus views of the bay. The sense of community at Modo is at the forefront of their operations & everyone is made to feel welcome. There is a big, free parking lot at the studio, too. read more

I had another yoga membership elsewhere but I then heard about Modo and decided to take a class. I fell in love with this studio after my first class. I love how clean and open the studio feels. And Frenny is just absolutely amazing, kind, calming and such a great instructor. She explains every step very clearly and calmly. Even though I'm not the most flexible, I look forward to my yoga classes everyday. It really brings joy to my heart and is helping me cope with a lot of stress and pain in my life. It is my therapy and my safe space. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone, I cannot stop raving about it to my friends and family. read more

Good location.  The studio is right off Clairemont Dr and there is plenty of parking.  There is an ATM there and a shopping center right next door, so you can also do some grocery shopping after taking a class. Tired of doing laundry or paying for towels? Not an issue here; that have a nice package deal (unlimited classes) which includes 2 fresh towels and a mat each time you take a class -- very convenient if you are a dedicated hot yoga warrior.  Other hot yoga establishments charge more, and make you pay extra for towels and a mat. Modo schedules at least 30 minutes between class times (during peak hours)  which allows people to relax before and after the class.  I have been to other studios which only have 15 minutes between sessions and it is my opinion that type of scheduling ruins the yoga experience. I only take the Modo and Modo flow classes, but there are other classes which provide more variety.  The primary instructors are also the owners, so they are very responsive to the needs of the students. read more

Do not go this studio if you have autoimmune disease. I called to find out what Covid safety protocols they had and was treated horribly over the phone. The owner laughed at me when I told him I had an autoimmune disease and compared it to an unvaccinated child. Unvaccinated children have better immune systems than I do firstly. Second, the two are nothing alike. They don't do temperature checks and go by the "honor" system which is HUGELY dangerous for those of us with autoimmune disease just looking to get back into a studio again. I hung the phone up crying I was so upset. Namaste my ass. read more

I absolutely love Modo Yoga! Awesome teachers and great studio. Highly recommend it to all. Namaste.

My favorite go to yoga studio in san diego for a personalized hot yoga experience. First month unlimited classes for $40 and monthly packages there after offer student discounts. The staff is very friendly and not intimidating. The classes are small and intimate. You can book your schedule ahead online, which makes it very convenient to work around your schedule. They offer a variety of classes from beginner to advance. read more

I'll try to keep this short but there are so many good things I want to say. My yoga journey started in 2021 with no prior experience. I was so nervous my first couple of times coming but was immediately welcomed into this little community. All of the instructors are so kind and supportive. I love learning from Frenny, Andrew, Lauren, Michelle, Bethany, and Claire. Somehow they remember your name and everyone's name and life story after the first couple of sessions... how do they do it?! I would trust them all as a life coach honestly. They encourage you to live mindfully, give yourself grace, and meet yourself at the moment you're meant to be at; and if you can't control it, let it go, and this lesson carries on to everyday life outside of the yoga studio. I hope that makes sense. If you're wondering how yoga can teach you those lessons, you're going to have to trust me and take a couple classes. Like suddenly you realize that you do have a third eyeball and that third eyeball is actually just the insight you've developed once your mind quiets down in yoga. I do have to say you might feel like you have to pass out the first couple of classes, but drink a lot of water and keep showing up and eventually you'll see the benefits. I used to have crippling back pain (literally hurt so bad sometimes I couldn't even walk) and struggled with anxiety, but consistent practice has basically cured me. And somehow I got stronger?! I learned how to do crow and now you can't pay me to stop. I love this yoga studio and am so sad to leave it. If you're looking for a sign to take a class here - this is your sign!!! read more

Wow! I have been doing hot yoga for about 6-7 years but this studio is the best I've gone to by far! I was feeling discouraged after leaving my last studio and have been in a funk, but after 2 classes with Modo Yoga, I have never felt better about myself. The flows are amazing, the heat is perfect for releasing stress and anxiety, and the instructors have been so welcoming and have proven to be experts in yoga! My boyfriend has even commented that I seem much happier and lighter. 10/10 would recommend and I'll definitely be purchasing a membership after this 2 weeks trial!! read more

I started to go to yoga after my doctor recommended it for helping correct back pain. Frenny and Andrew listened to my concerns, and are attentive throughout class to be sure that I am not over stressing the area. I've been going to classes for about 6 weeks now, three times a week. It's become a necessary part of my routine and I'm grateful for it. They and the other instructors, Caitlin and Lauren, are so good. They all pace the classes well, and they challenge each practitioner to push themselves, while also being aware of the their limitations. The facility is beautiful and welcoming. They have worked hard to create a space that is calming and inviting to everyone. I have highly recommended Modo to my friends, and also will do so to the Yelposphere. read more

Modo Yoga is a wonderful place to recenter yourself, reconnect with your body, and be part of a caring community. All the instructors are so kind and care about your personal progress. The studio is extremely welcoming and clean. I can't imagine being part of a more wholesome yoga family. read more

Modo Yoga has had such a positive impact on me since I started about 2 months ago. All the instructors I've encountered are so helpful and welcoming and really guide you throughout the classes. I've also noticed a big difference in my stress levels since starting and feel like it's helped me alleviate some of that daily stress I often feel. The studio overall is always super clean and has everything you'd need. It's a very supportive and friendly environment, I highly recommend if you're looking for a yoga studio. read more

This is hands down the best yoga studio I've ever been to. As someone who does high intensity workouts 5x a week, I often neglect stretching and caring for my muscles the way that it should be after a HIIT workout. My friend Ariel convinced me to try this yoga studio with her as she's been a longtime member and swears up and down by their heated yoga classes. I've done heated yoga before, and it's nice, but I never cared to do it again. That all changed after my first class at Modo yoga. First off, the room is HOT. I quickly realized this was not like any heated yoga class I had taken before! Lauren was our instructor and she was fantastic-- she would help me correct my form as needed and was so encouraging all throughout the class. After the first 20 minutes, my heart rate was racing, my body absolutely drenched, and I actually felt like I was being challenged, something I never really felt when taking a yoga class before. After the 75 minute class was over, I felt so incredibly good-- I don't think my muscles have ever gotten into that deep of a stretch, nor have I ever burned so many calories in a yoga class! To say I'm a fan is an understatement. I've already told all my friends and family about this studio and am having them join me slowly but surely. The studio itself is SO beautiful and welcoming. The yoga room is light and airy, and the studio has so many thoughtful touches throughout. I am so excited to do some more classes here , and will happily make the trek from Mission Valley simply because it's worth it. No other yoga studio compares to this one! read more

The best yoga studio in San Diego hands down. The owners- Frenny and Andrew, have been so welcoming since day 1 and still are to this day. I began my yoga practice at this studio and I still attend 2 years later. I've been to a few other studios to check them out and I never get the same experience as I do at modo. I'll remain a member here for the rest of my life...seriously. read more

So happy I found this great studio above Bay Park in Clairemont. The facilities are immaculate, there is ample parking and the owners/teachers are amazing people. I'm fairly new to yoga and Frenny and Andrew teach their classes for all levels and take time to help get you into the poses correctly. Some classes feature music and occasionally they have live musicians playing singing bowls which made for an amazing experience! After every class they mop down the floors and serve hot tea, chatting with the students creating a vibe that you want to spend time in. Bathrooms are always clean and have multiple showers and lockers. If you're looking for a great yoga studio that is friendly, welcoming and has great teachers, this is the place for you. read more

I found my new Yoga home and it's around the corner in my neighborhood in Bay Park. I just finished my first 4 weeks of yoga here at Modo Yoga after switching from a different studio and I'm absolutely impressed with the entire service. That gave me plenty of time to make an informed decision that Modo is the studio for me to stay. Frenny and Andrew are just wonderful people, they both truly care about your health and well being. Here, you are not just another number like in other San Diego studios. The instructors are very well trained and make sure that you don't overdo it and get injured as I have experienced in other studios. I for myself deal with multiple injuries from 35+ years of sports that have left me with knee problems, a herniated disc and much more. Just after 4 weeks of switching between Moda Yoga and Yin classes, I feel already more relaxed and less tight in my hips and back than in practicing other yoga for more than a year. Here at Moda Yoga different classes are offered, depending on your experience level, or if you looking to get in some long deep stretches that help to slowly recover from injuries, improve muscle imbalance and just feel good after a long day at work. Some are with music and there are special days, with drums and didgeridoos. The studio itself is impeccably clean and tidy, well designed with lots of light, big enough locker rooms for each gender, plenty of separate shower stalls and the entire studio atmosphere is very accommodating and relaxing. There are plenty of accessories to use to make your practice more comfortable. By the way, the main practice room gets cleaned after each session, something I didn't experience in any other studio. If you looking for a Yoga studio near you, stop the search and give it a try. read more

Wow! this place is FANTASTIC. The yoga room is huge with tons of natural light and spotlessly clean not to mention a ton of parking, so it's very easy to park. The best part is the owners, Frenny and Andrew, two of the coolest people you will ever meet. They are very skilled and patient yogis who put on really wonderful classes. If you are looking for a clean, calming environment, with fabulous people running it, look no further than Modo Yoga. Two thumbs up!!! read more

Me and my friend visited this place today for a class of hot room yoga. It was the most amazing experience, changed my prospective on yoga. Perfect for body detox They even provide showers in the back with lockers for your personal items. I don't suggest bringing children along with you as it gets very hot. read more

If there were more stars, they would get more stars. This place is a gem and I am so lucky they opened in our neighborhood. The classes are well taught, you feel supported and challenged (a perfect balance). The owners are lovely people and yogis. Very welcoming. There is a sense of community. The studio is clean, spacious, lots of natural light, has easy (and ample) parking, nice locker rooms, refillable water bottle station, and showers. Great overall experience. read more
