Today we’d like to introduce you to Cleo Vo-Dai.
Cleo, a native of Montreal, began her yoga practice during her college years at McGill at Moksha Yoga Montreal – a studio that is part of 65 Moksha/Modo locations worldwide. After university, she started her career as a publicist for Cirque du Soleil handling the entertainment company’s marketing and public relations for 7 years before taking on roles as the Marketing Director for large companies such as Nikki Beach Worldwide and AJ Capital Partners.
Cleo’s career brought her to work in over 20 countries throughout Europe, South America, North America and the Middle East. She continued and cherished her yoga practice throughout her travels and found it an integral part of feeling balanced in a challenging lifestyle. She has visited hundreds of studios worldwide but always found solace going back to her roots in Moksha/Modo Yoga.
As a resident of Miami Beach for 8 years, Cleo reminisced on the sweaty calm she experienced after every Moksha/Modo class. Step by step, she began the journey to building her dream, Modo Yoga Miami Beach. In addition to being a trained Modo teacher, Cleo brings her unparalleled marketing and business skills to the team. Cleo’s yoga teachings integrate a strong physical experience coupled with calming meditation techniques. She is also a new mother and is looking forward to sharing her experience as a yogi to the pre and post-natal community of Miami Beach.
Has it been a smooth road?
Opening any new business faces its challenges, especially in a competitive marketplace such as Miami Beach. Thankfully we haven’t incurred major obstacles, other than general minor details such as taking the necessary time to source a team that truly mirrored our goals and values surrounding our yoga studio.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Modo (also known as Moksha in Canada) Yoga was built on the dream of having independently owned and community-driven studios that share their ideas, their love of conservation, an awesome hot yoga series rooted in the traditional teachings of yoga and yoga therapy concepts. As a director and an active teacher at Modo Yoga Miami Beach, I engage in a hands on management approach to oversee the entire operational development of the studio, while building relationships on the mat with my students during class. As a company I am sincerely grateful and proud of the dedication and passion of my team who have contributed in their individual ways to bring Modo Yoga Miami Beach to the forefront of hot yoga in what is a competitive market.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I genuinely believe Miami is a great place for a yoga business as we encompass a city of health conscious individuals seeking means and ways to be active in a fun and community driven environment. Although there is an abundance of fitness brands and workout spaces dispersed throughout Miami, there is always a demand for new and innovative Mind & body activities, for Floridians to take a break away from the fast paced day to day routines. If someone was starting out, I would recommend for them to start out here, however I would advise for them to study their location in depth, and conduct proper market research studies on their location and surrounding market to ensure they choose the optimal space with organic foot traffic, as Miami continues to expand due to urban sprawl, there are numerous new neighborhoods that are set to be the upcoming trendy places, which new business owners can successfully capitalize on if carefully chosen.
