What an important day for our community!

It's exciting to share the news with you, friends!

As you may know, we introduced hot yoga to London waaaay back in 2003. London's Original Hot Yoga Studio is our claim to fame!

I remember my first day venturing into Moksha Downtown over 18 years ago, leaving drenched in sweat, revitalized, triumphant, and feeling stronger and calmer. I instantly understood the attraction to this new phenomenon, hot yoga. And I knew I had found my place. Who could ever have imagined that pivotal day would send me on a long and challenging but incredibly gratifying journey to where I am now?

Over the years, our London community has seen many changes. The torch has been passed from one owner to another, teachers have ventured off into the world, Moksha became Modo, a global pandemic did its best to knock us to our knees.....and yet, here we are: still standing tall.

Our long history as Moksha/Modo and all the amazing humans, like you, who grace our thresholds every day serve as the unshakeable foundation that allows us to confidently embark upon a brand new adventure that starts a week from now.

On May 17, we will be stepping away from Modo International and spreading our wings with a new name.

Change can be scary but mostly, it’s exhilarating! 

It's a decision that has not been made lightly, I promise you. Many factors have come into play that led to this moment.

And while our name will be different, you can rest assured we will stay true to our community roots. Of course, some things will appear new, but the things you love and count on will remain familiar and comforting.

So, let's cut to the chase -- here's our new name!

As Elements Hot Yoga, we are grounded in 4 foundations inspired by nature’s elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. These vital elements are found within us, around us, and under us. 

Fire | Sparking Passion

We are a place where you can explore your physical strengths, your mental well-being, and your emotional landscape, free of judgment or criticism. You seek inspiration and challenge. We are here to help light the fire within.

We are a place where you can land. Connect with others. Feel welcome. We support you and we support our London community. We reach out and you reach back. We hold each other up.

We are a place where you can find your own inner calm, which you can then share in the world, wherever your path goes. You seek space within the busy, fast-paced tempo of life, where you are accepted as you are. We offer it to you.

I don't want to overwhelm you with a gigantic and overly-wordy newsletter, so please keep your eyes open for a series of messages over the coming days that will tell you more and answer your questions. Use the button below to send me a message if you like!

I have always been forthright and sincere, steadfastly guiding our community to the very best of my ability through thick and thin. Two years ago, I wrote a love letter to our community to express all the feelings I was feeling then. To this day, this is who I am and this is who you can count on as we step into this new chapter together.

As always..... we are here for you.

Peace,
