Is a yoga studio franchise better than opening independently?
An independent studio means building brand, systems, pricing, teacher training and marketing from scratch. A hot yoga franchise gives you a recognised name, tested operating systems, a site selection process and an owner network already solving the same problems. The trade-off is the franchise fee, ongoing royalties and operating within brand standards.
What does hot yoga franchise support include?
Support spans territory and site selection, studio design and construction guidance, hot yoga room specification, technology setup, business and reporting tools, owner and teacher training, grand-opening marketing and ongoing coaching after you open.
How long does it take to open a Modo Yoga studio?
Most owners move from first conversation to opening day across an eight-stage process covering discovery, disclosure, territory and site confirmation, business planning, buildout and training. Timelines depend on how quickly a site is secured and how long permitting and construction take in your market.
Which hot yoga franchise territories are open in Canada?
We are actively exploring the Greater Toronto Area, Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Modo Yoga was founded in Canada, so brand awareness in these markets is already established. Territory availability changes, so confirm your target market on a Curiosity Call.
This page is general information about franchise opportunities and is not a franchise offering. An offer is made only through a Franchise Disclosure Document in the United States or a disclosure document in the applicable Canadian province.

QUESTIONS
Hot yoga franchise FAQs
Costs, requirements, territories and timelines, answered.
How much does it cost to open a Modo Yoga franchise?
The estimated total investment is $325,000 to $900,000, which includes a $50,000 initial franchise fee. The range depends on studio size, location, local construction costs and buildout requirements. Current figures are confirmed with you during qualification.

How much do I need in net worth or financing?
Qualified candidates typically have a minimum net worth of $350,000, which may vary by market and studio size. Financing options are available for qualified candidates and our franchise team can walk you through them.
Do I need to be a yoga teacher to own a yoga studio franchise?
No. Many owners come from business, wellness or leadership backgrounds and hire experienced teachers. Owners are encouraged to attend Modo Yoga Teacher Training to understand the methodology and culture, but teaching is not a requirement.
Which hot yoga franchise markets are available?
In Canada, we are interested in the Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Calgary, the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. In the United States, opportunities include Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, Denver, Boulder, Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix, Boston, Miami, Nashville and Las Vegas. This list is not exhaustive. We welcome conversations about other locations, subject to territory availability and legal clearance.
Are Canadian territories still available?
Yes. Modo Yoga was founded in Canada and we continue to award territories there. The Greater Toronto Area, Greater Vancouver Area, Victoria, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax are all markets we are currently exploring, subject to availability and provincial franchise disclosure requirements.
How large does a hot yoga studio need to be?
Studios range from 1,500 to 5,000 square feet depending on the market and the size of the territory. Site selection support is part of the franchise process, so you are not evaluating locations alone.
Is a hot yoga studio a profitable business?
Financial performance information is provided only in Item 19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document, or the equivalent disclosure document in your Canadian province. We do not make earnings claims outside those documents. You will receive the full disclosure package after signing an NDA, and we encourage you to review it with your own financial and legal advisors.
What support does Modo Yoga provide to franchise owners?
Support includes territory and site selection, studio design, construction guidance, hot yoga room specification, technology setup, business tools, owner and team training, grand-opening marketing and ongoing coaching after you open.
How long does it take to open a studio?
The path runs through eight stages: first conversation, intro call, NDA and disclosure, meeting the team, territory and site confirmation, business planning, build and train, and opening day. How fast you move depends largely on securing a site and on local permitting and construction timelines.
Can I open more than one Modo Yoga studio?
Yes. Multi-studio agreements are available and come with reduced franchise fees. If you are considering multiple studios, raise it on your first call so territory planning can account for it.
What is the first step to owning a Modo Yoga studio?
Book a confidential 15-minute Curiosity Call. It is a short conversation about your goals, timing and preferred market, with no obligation. If you are not ready to talk yet, download the Studio Ownership Readiness Checklist instead.
