Modo Yoga NYC – Williamsburg

I have been doing Modo for 3 years now and my body and outlook on life remind me that I’m a better person all around when I go. This new studio is Williamsburg is the best location I’ve been to and I have gone to the studio in Los Angeles, the West Village and now here. It is like a spa!!! Clean, modern, spacious… all around a great experience.

I am a beginner and generally intimidated by anyone who wears Lululemon or has toned shoulders. I’ve tried a lot of classes lately through Classpass and trials in my neighborhood and usually feel like I’m bringing down the level of the class or the instructors pretend I’m not there.
Modo Yoga is by far the most welcoming studio I have ever been to. Circuit of Change is a close second. They somehow can tell when I need an adjustment versus want to feel out the struggle on my own, give helpful advice on prep, explained why I was getting foot cramps and genuinely want to optimize my practice. Additionally, once I got dizzy in a class and they put electrolytes in my water bottle! They want you to have a good experience at your own pace. It’s not snobby or pretentious at all.
The hot yin and Modo class are great for beginners (though I would start with 60 and not 90), they are helpful with every aspect of the practice and have the nicest staff ever. Am looking forward to getting stronger so I can do the yang yin classes but am really enjoying this whole process so far! Would recommend this place to anyone

There is literally nothing not to love about this yoga studio.
When I first walked in, it feels like a spa. Everything is so clean, so spacious, the front desk people are always nice and polite. The yoga class itself is pretty darn awesome. The instructors are very knowledgeable, a couple of my favorites are Frantz, Valerie and Sioban. This is one of my favorite yoga studio I’ve been to, hands down.
I’ve also been to their West Village location, I truly prefer the williamsburg location, but of course location wise, it tough to get to on a week day after work. The West village location is always so f#$%ing pack. There’s a few times where I lost my zen b/​c the person next to me is all up in my space (not really their fault). Maybe reduce the class from 60 max to 50max in the bigger room? It’s just way too f#$%ing crowded.
So inclusion… Williamsburg location wins!

Modo Yoga is the BEST yoga studio you will find! I have been going to the west village location for 9 months and go to the Williamsburg location on weekends.
Overall, great workout, chance to meditate, beautiful space, great prices for yoga, amazing community and instructors
I prefer Modo to Bikram since Bikram is so rigid. Modo is usually around 95 – 100 degrees, so it’s not as hot as Bikram.
Second, the studio is beautiful. It is full of light and is spacious. Just going here gives me peace of mind. When the weather is nice, they open the front glass doors, so you can sit in the front room and enjoy a cup of tea after practice.
The prices are great. It’s only $ 40 for an intro month. The monthly prices after are really reasonable compared to other yoga places in New York.
Fourth, the instructors are amazing people. They get to know students and encourage everyone to try new asanas. They are also very easy to ask questions to, so if you have injuries don’t be nervous about practicing.
Couldn’t recommend this studio more!

Beautiful Studio, very clean, very friendly people running it. Great hot yoga class! Cannot wait to try more classes.

I’ve dabbled in yoga for years, trying multiple studios and types of classes all around the city. None ever had the welcoming, inspiring warmth like that of Modo, which keeps me coming back for more. Not only does the studio have a gorgeous spa-​like quality, but the teachers and crew have healing-​like qualities — all very kind and considerate. A haven of relaxation, peace and a hint of sweat in crazy NYC.
The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, friendly and peaceful. The teachers are always around after class if you have any questions, which I often do because I have a lot to learn, and I don’t feel silly asking. I’ve been inspired to come as often as possible and really get into a routine. I think this is the first time I’ve ever stuck with a new years resolution :) The music classes have well curated playlists as well. I’m excited for every class and leave feeling energized and refreshed.
Thank you Modo for helping me heal, grow, reset and recharge. Namaste

The same Modo that I love but in Brooklyn? Yes please.
This studio is managed by the same Modo team in Manhattan and classes are taught by the same teachers, as well. It’s a total treat to travel a shorter distance on the weekends but still get my yoga fix.
This Williamsburg studio is flawless; beautiful inside and out. They really stepped their game up with this addition to the yoga family.
The outside is slightly deceptive as the signage is minimal. The front is a very bright, pretty white so when you see that, you know you’ve found it. It’s almost directly across Metropolitan from Nitehawk so keep your eyes peeled for that, too.
The studios are spacious and get reeeeally sweaty (woo hoo!) plus have lots of natural light pouring in through the skylights towards the back of each studio.
I love the filtered water spigots in the walls. The showers are new and (unlike Greenwich) have hooks to hang your towels right next to the stalls.
This location is great. Seriously, just when I thought you couldn’t outdo yourself, you go and make me love this BK studio.
Ch-​ch-​ch-​check it out.

Never have I been to a more beautiful balanced and loving studio! Modo yoga has been part of my life for years and I’m so excited that they’ve opened up a studio in Williamsburg! The instructors are amazing the studios are clean eco friendly and just meticulously designed! Thanks modo!!!

Love the space and the classes are great. So convenient to have nice changing rooms and showers. Favorite teachers so far are Valerie, Michael, and Lawrence. Good options for more advanced flow and for more relaxing classes.
Glad the studio is in the neighborhood.

I’ll start by saying this studio is GORGEOUS — very spacious, beautiful design, warm, and welcoming. Free tea to enjoy as well!
The yoga room itself was again very spacious and I had plenty of room to flow at my 11AM Saturday ‘Freestyle Flow’ class. It is pretty hot in there, and there are humidifiers placed throughout the room. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the class didn’t really seem to be ‘Freestyle’ — it seemed like a traditional vinyasa style class with various sequences and time to do a few modifications of your choice. Maybe I’m not as experience to know the difference but I will absolutely be coming back here to try more of the options — it’s great to have 60, 75, 90 min etc. times.

My boyfriend and I had a Saturday class with the lovely Jase. He was nice, patient, and very enthusiastic about the practice. He welcomed us with literally open arms.
The new facilities are great: everything is new, modern, yet still have the charming feel to them. The owners made really smart design choices. The restroom are clean. The practice rooms lack that distinct sweat smell which is great for us Manhattan dwellers. Everything is roomy, open and fresh.
There’s free tea with different flavours if that is your thing.
Overall, awesome studio.

LOVE the gorgeous new studio! I took a class with Guillaume yesterday and feel fabulously sore today. Thank you Modo:-)

I love love the studio in the West Village, so when I heard that Modo Yoga was expanding to Billyburg, I was pretty excited to see such a great studio have a location now in Kings County. And guess what? They had a grand opening party this past Sunday with a free 75 min hot yoga class and a party afterwards. I can’t think of a better way to end the week.
I arrived around 3:30pm and the place was swarming with yogis. There was energy in the air! Since I was already a member at the West Village location, check in was very easy. I was greeted by a lovely person at the desk and she pointed me to the yoga mats, and towels that are stored on the wall right behind the reception area. Women’s locker room is to the right behind the reception desk. There are water filling stations outside of men’s and women’s locker room (so bring your water bottle). There are two rooms for yoga practice.
The grand opening class was in the top 5 of yoga classes I have ever taken (I have been practising yoga for 10 years now)! This studio was started by Arcade Fire’s violinist and Bön Iver contributer and we were so so lucky to have them play live music for the 75 minute class which was a blend of vinyasa and restorative yoga. Mother Nature also supplied beautiful rain and the melody of the music along with the calming pitter patter clinking on the strip of the skyline windows which streamed in the last rays of the winter sunshine made for a meditation session that filled the heart with immense rapture and delight. That was one of the best, sweat dripping 75 minutes of my life. I felt completely detoxified after the class and ready to take on the world.
The women’s locker room was massive with many many showers (since the place just opened up, there were no shampoo or conditioner readily available yet), hair dryers, cotton swabs and tampons. Lockers have digital keypads, so no need to bring your own lock.
And after the yoga class, there was a grand opening party and they served up all veggie delights including mozarella sandwiches, Israeli couscous with mint and kale salad. They were also pouring out kombucha and wine.
What a wonderful way to spend Sunday afternoon in a beautiful studio with excellent yoga instruction! I will be back for more! Here’s to a Fit and Fun 2016!

I am SO so happy Modo Yoga has arrived in my neighborhood. I religiously frequent the location in the West Village and the Williamsburg is a much needed upgrade and a much welcomed addition to the neighborhood. The biggest improvement is the bathroom/​change areas. It is massive! And beautiful. Huge stone showers…5 to be exact. The ceilings are high and makes the studio feel so spacious. Each room can hold about 60 students.
Here are a couple of tips that will make your experience at Modo Yoga a much more pleasant experience:
— There is only soap in the showers. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you plan on washing your hair.
— Bring a plastic bag for your rank, dirty, sweaty clothes. I don’t know why they don’t have the produce bags that they had in the West Village studio.
— Modo Yoga is mainly a vinyasa based practice. It is nothing like Bikram. The teachers are SO amicable, helpful and kind.
— Bring a friend with you!!! I would love to see this studio grow and flourish. Yes Modo is a chain but they never make you feel like you are in one.
A++++++ and Namaste.

We came here for the grand opening today but unfortunately the room was already full to capacity so we didn’t take the hot yoga class :(. the place is very clean and the stuff very attentive, they gave us a complementary hot tea and FOUR free class passes for the next time so we definitively will come back!

I have gone to the modo yoga in the west village and loved the studio and instructors. Was very excited to come to their new location to enjoy a free class and live music, but the elements were against us every step of the way. Subway, cab then torrential rain… We got there 10minutes before class just in time to hear them announce their class was absolutely full at 20min before class started. Sad to give the news to all the wet latecomers, they gave us 4 complimentary passes each. We were asked to stay for the party afterwards which was fine as we still needed to wait out the rain and had friends already in the studio. But we are very happy to receive the passes and will look forward to coming back to some modo flow!
