Why attend?

Many people are curious about wellness and yoga studios but feel uncertain about attending alone for the first time — unsure what to wear, what to expect, or how a heated room will feel. This session was designed with that in mind.

You will arrive as a group, get a full introduction to the studio, and have everything explained in plain language before class begins. There will be time to ask questions, meet the Modo Yoga team, and settle in comfortably. The class itself is private — just Bloom participants — and you are always in control. You can rest, modify any movement, or breathe and be present at whatever level feels right for you.

This is a low-pressure, welcoming opportunity to try something new, support your well-being, and connect with others in a warm space — in every sense of the word.

What you will leave with

• A real experience of hot yoga in a supportive, beginner-friendly setting
• Confidence in a local wellness studio and the knowledge to return on your own
• Connections with other Bloom participants through a shared and calming experience
• A clearer sense of local wellness and recreation opportunities available to you in St. John’s
• A positive step toward your own well-being and sense of belonging in Newfoundland and Labrador

What to bring

• A water bottle
• Comfortable clothing you can move in

Yoga mats and towels are provided free of charge for this session. Feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
