Your Guides

Randy Aaron was introduced to the world of yoga while attending NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and he immediately fell in love with all that yoga represents, fosters, and embodies. As a practitioner for over 20 years and a renowned instructor, Randy has taught students how to love themselves without guilt or judgment—while extending that love to others. His motto echoes the wise words of RuPaul: “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?” Randy is currently the Assistant Director of Teaching and a senior instructor at Modo Yoga NYC.

Frantz G. Hall started as a dancer and eventually became a Broadway performer. He has experienced many lifetimes, transitioning from performer to corporate America to practicing and teaching yoga. He currently teaches at Modo Yoga NYC and is also a mentor at that studio. He is certified in Hatha, Vinyasa, Sequencing, Yin, Restorative/Therapeutic Yoga, Core Flow, Functional Anatomy, and Yoga Nidra—always the student, sometimes the guide
