Modify Yoga Spa Cafe

Love this place! It’s a relaxed atmosphere with great and friendly staff. The yoga classes are the best with awesome variety. Jules Flow class on Saturday morning and Mod.I.Fly (Ariel yoga) on Thursdays are a must!

So much to offer…
I love Modify. I love its vibe, I love its services, I love its people. It’s vibe is welcoming… not necessarily yogi-​like, which can get a bit stale… just authentic, like they are really glad to see me! I love its services, from its juice bar, to its little shop on site, to all the different types of classes: acupuncture, healing sessions, meditation, AND yoga… it’s all my favorite things in one spot! And the people there are just a joy to spend time with; everyone is completely engaged, and I always see everyone smiling!

Maggie is a short hair expert! Constantly get complements in my cut. But one of my favorite things about getting my hair done by Maggie is her head massage during the shampoo! Heaven!

Once in a great moon one is blessed with a great find. Put Modify in that category. I apparently have a very sensitive scalp. Coloring my hair has not been met with very good results. Colors were .ok but bad allergic reaction. Needed something with less harsh chemicals I have tried many salons, many were considered high end. Thought if I spent more id have better results. Not true. My wife informed me of her great find after her stylist left Toni n Guy for Modify. She thought I would be comfortable there and always liked her results (me too!).
Great color job and new style. Everyone at work couldn’t figure out what I did but kept getting compliments. Never noticed the dye job just thought I combed it differently. PERFECT! A great big Thank You to Maggie and I will see you again!

I came here on a random whim and I’m glad I did.
I absolutely loved it.
I took a 9:30AM class (forget the teacher’s name, but she was excellent).
The entire place is welcoming, chill and just has the perfect vibe you want for a yoga studio.
I came in tired from a morning hike and left relaxed, refreshed and super zen.
They really went out of their way to make sure you had a great experience. As a drop-​in to many yoga studios nationwide, I can’t say this is always the case.
Once I move out to Arizona, I’ll be here a lot.

Why have I not reviewed Modify? It has taken toooooo long!
Yoga: Since my very first contact with Modify, they have been nothing but kind, helpful and supportive. The yoga classes are awesome! I have been on off and on newbie yogi for years. This was the first studio that took the time and had to patience to really help me do it correctly. Adjusting lightly, pushing me a little further, encouraging me to go a little deeper. The basics are a great way to refresh your muscle memory and go a little deeper. The flow classes with Jules and Lorel fantastic! They are amazing people here and I HIGHLY recommend you take a yoga class here! They also have extra classes that introduce you to different types of yoga, meditation, eastern medicine. Yoga Nidra (amazing), Gong Meditation (YES!!) group acupuncture (Darrin is amazing!!)
The café! YUM! Best salads and juices ever!

Had a great experience while visiting for 2 weeks. The staff was very friendly and the entire studio had a welcoming vibe as a traveler! I have not always had the same experience at other studios.

I love the relaxing, friendly environment. I feel like I can leave all my problems at the door and enjoy a yoga class, a hair cut, a massage, or something healthy and delicious from the café and walk out feeling like a million bucks! Safe to say that I’m a fan! Modify might just be my new home away from home.

I attended a yoga class here this morning. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable and interactive. The the class was challenging but not too difficult for a beginner, I even worked up a sweat. This studio offers massages, salon services, and a juice bar is coming soon. I will definitely be back and will be recommending the studio to friends.

I met Maggie when she was teaching one of the free Lululemon yoga classes and when she mentioned that she was opening a new studio in Old Town, I was intrigued.
And now, having been there several times, I’m really glad that I was. Maggie has created an amazing space that is not only a yoga studio, but also a hair, makeup and spray tan salon… and hopefully soon, a natural-​foods café. Of course, as a guy I have my barber, but everyone I talk to says Maggie is a great stylist.
As for me, I just know that she is a great yoga instructor. She teaches the basics in a clear, understandable manner, that helps beginners to learn and also works for those of us who have been practicing for a while. Even while continuing the class flow, Maggie takes the time to give one on one instruction and to teach new moves,
Plus she’s not the only great instructor at Modify. Misty teaches both flow and restorative yoga classes that leave you feeling great and Alissa teaches a yoga nidra that took me deeper into meditation than I have been in years.
So if you’re looking for a yoga studio and want to take your practice to a new level, check out Modify!

I have known the owner, Maggie Carvalho for 17 years. She has been cutting mine and my daughters hair forever. She gives wonderful head massages, while she is washing your hair. I also have been taking restorative and gentle therapeutic yoga for the last 3 weeks. I am a Breast Cancer Survivor, and the environment is so therapeutic, happy, understanding, professional, calming and peaceful. I take Yoga with not only Maggie, but Misty, Heather and Alissa. They are all so supportive of my journey, and we use lots of props, for instance, blocks, blankets and straps. I support Maggie and Modify, 1000%. You need to go and try it for yourself. She is offering all kinds of specials through Groupon for 19.99 for a month of unlimited yoga, and meditation classes. After that the Monthly unlimited yoga will be 69.99 till December. Then it will be the regular price of 99.99. And if you are a Student from ASU, for instance she has Student Specials too!!! Tell me where else you can receive Professional Yoga instruction, with instructors who are willing to teach and help you modify to do Yoga, an amazing hair stylist, a Make-​up Artist, Massage and a Café all Eco-​friendly!!! Modify is an awesome experience!!! Go check it out!!!
