​
Classes & Styles
​
Do you offer Restorative yoga classes in Montreal?
Yes. Ashtanga Yoga Montreal offers Restorative yoga classes as part of our regular schedule. Restorative yoga is a slower, prop-supported practice that uses bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps to guide the body into supported positions, calming the nervous system rather than building strength or heat. It's a great fit if you're recovering from injury, managing stress, or looking to complement a more active practice with a slower, more attentive style of movement.
​
Do you offer Ashtanga Vinyasa classes in Montreal?
Yes. Ashtanga Vinyasa is one of our core class offerings at Ashtanga Yoga Montreal. It's a dynamic, breath-centred style of yoga taught in a guided group format, drawing on the traditional Ashtanga sequences while remaining varied and responsive to each teacher's training and the needs of the room. It's suitable for complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike, and no prior experience is required to join.
​
Do you offer Mysore classes in Montreal?
Yes. Mysore is one of our core offerings at Ashtanga Yoga Montreal. It's the traditional format in which Ashtanga yoga was originally taught: rather than following a teacher through a group sequence, each student practices their own version of the Ashtanga sequence at their own pace, while the teacher moves through the room offering individual guidance and adjustments. It's a deeply personal practice, but never an unsupported one — even complete beginners are guided through their first postures. At AYM, Mysore runs daily from 7:00 to 10:15 am, and we recommend reaching out before your first session so we can introduce you to the format.
