From the reviews

Modo Yoga is my favorite place to practice. Matter of fact, it’s the only place I practice. Clean space, welcoming staff, and even a cold plunge to cool down after class. Being within walking distance makes getting to class on time an easy win, but the real reason it’s become a regular practice for me is the teachers.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Jun 2025

They were AMAZINGLY warm and welcoming here at MODA on La Brea, after I had an 8 year hiatus from yoga. So caught up in life’s Ferris wheel of day to day struggles and stress. Thankfully, I moved very close to this studio and ran into a friend who was taking classes here and very pleased.

★★★★★ — Camille, Jul 2025

Emily Bayer is so nice! I wasn't able to afford to continue my yoga practice and went in to inquire about the Energy Exchange program. Right then and there, Emily offered me to be her guest and within an hour, I was in class. Christine was the instructor and I got a really nice yoga session in.

★★★★★ — Afreca, Jul 2025

I'm just laughing at these 1 star reviews, they are basically all classpass users, who aren't members. Everyone using the excuse of traffic and parking. People this is LA, there is traffic everywhere and never enough parking, that's life.

Teacher training at North Ray Yoga

North Ray Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at North Ray Yoga

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
