💬 Our Community Standards
We believe in progress, professionalism, and clarity. If the nature of optional opt in public photo use does not align with your preferences, we encourage you to find a wellness space better suited to your comfort.
At Modality, we welcome all bodies, backgrounds, and beliefs. We uphold mutual respect and communication, not emotional policing or wardrobe enforcement.
Photo Disclaimer: At Modality, we do not take photos to replace models—we showcase our real community, just as any reputable gym or fitness studio does. We use professional, non-flash cameras and do not use personal cell phones to capture content. As a small business with limited staff juggling many roles, we do not stage empty mats or hire models—we reflect real daily progress. We do not earn royalties from our content; we simply share the authentic energy of our community as it happens. We will not be bullied or accused of scamming or exploitation for showcasing our hard work. If this does not align with your values, we kindly encourage you to seek a different community that better fits your comfort level.
We Do Not Tolerate Explicit Content — But We Also Do Not Shame Movement
Modesty is personal and subjective. We do not define or enforce a specific standard of modesty. Our focus is on wellness, not on appearance. Content will never be posted with the intent to sexualize anyone, and assumptions that fitness or stretch poses are sexual in nature are not acceptable in this space.

A student wearing leggings and a sports bra in a backbend
Visible cleavage from certain angles during stretching
A client doing a hip bridge, plank, or leg lift
Arms, backs, or midriffs visible due to movement or athletic wear
Poses with feet apart in a stretch (e.g., wide-leg forward fold)
Someone adjusting their top or waistband momentarily during exercise
Natural body curves, cellulite, sweat, or skin showing through light clothing
❌ Examples of Content That
IS
Considered Explicit (and will NOT be posted):
Undergarments exposed or pulled into view (intentionally or accidentally)
Inappropriate camera angles that emphasize private areas
Twerking, gyrating, or intentionally sexual body language in a wellness context
Deep close-ups of the buttocks, breasts, or groin area
See-through clothing with no coverage underneath
Images that may be misinterpreted as seductive or erotic due to pose and framing
Any nudity or gesture that may be seen as lewd or suggestive
We Respect Your Boundaries
We make every effort to review content before sharing and ensure it aligns with our values of healing, faith, empowerment, and professionalism. If anything is posted that unintentionally misrepresents a client or does not align with our mission, we will respectfully remove it immediately upon request.
We are here to celebrate your wellness journey, not exploit it.
