PRIVATE HATHA YOGA SESSIONS
In a Private yoga class I can take you further in your practice than a group class can. I devote my undivided attention to your yoga practice, tailoring the session to your individual needs. Each class is designed specifically for you, and will focus on exercises for your body type, taking into consideration your fitness level, stress level, and your personal goals. Get more hands on attention than you will ever get at a public class.

THAI YOGA MASSAGE
The healing art of Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient and sacred system of healing with roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. It is a unique and powerful system of Yoga Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, asanas (Yogic stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit.

Your body is so much more then bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments...
It is so much more then meridians, Kundalini and chakras...
Your body is alive... and it serves as a vehicle for a Driver - YOU.
This Driver is your true inherent Source of Wisdom, Life, Energy, Light and Health.

OSTÉYOGA is all about YOU... When YOU are present, deep and true relaxation is born, the alignment of the body is spontaneous, the breath is complete and deep, and the posture becomes a true reflection of who you are here & now! Only then does genuine healing begin.

Knowledge and techniques are always evolving. OSTÉYOGA lays its full emphasis on the state of inner Knowingness - beyond all techniques, beyond Hinduism, beyond the Asana, beyond the breath, beyond outer teachings.

Learn anatomical theory to support your yoga practice. Develop core strength, flexibility, alignment and balance.

Study physiology to understand the inner functioning of the body and how it is affected and optimized thourgh yoga.

Courses offered at various locations in the Montreal region. Consult the Yogamontreal events page for the latest courses.

Annick Robinson
- Budokon Sensei, yoga teacher, and workshop presenter

Annick Robinson, Canada's only certified Budokon Sensei, is now teaching Budokon in Montreal, and is available to give workshops, master classes and private training all over Canada.

For more information about Annick Robinson and her daily schedule, please visit: www.annickarts.com

To contact Sensei Annick directly, please E-mail:
info@annickarts.com

The Budokon physical practice draws upon ancient and modern yogic and martial arts styles. The foundation of the Budokon physical practice is precision, alignment and Zen mind. All Budokon techniques are designed to explore the body's full range of motion. The practice dances between agility, control, speed, power, balance, flow, focus, calm, precision, flow and mastery in the body, mind and spirit. The Budokon Zen practice is seated meditation. Zen is about single minded living. Zen is about freedom from our own ideas. This practice is the foundation of Budokon and weaves its way through everything we do.

Budokon is a living art. By that I mean it is the art of living. It is your waking and your sleeping, your walking and your sitting, your living and your dying. I cannot say that it is more special than any other art. In fact, it is not special at all. It is the practitioner who brings all that the art is, all that the art will ever be. Budokon is not about gaining ideas. There is nothing to gain from it. It is simply a way. Our way is the Zen way. We are not a religion or a devotional practice. We do not practice to become enlightened. We practice because we are enlightened. If you are seeking something in order to gain something, this is the wrong practice. Budokon is empty of gaining ideas. If you believe there is something to gain from it, you will always be disappointed by it. This is the first lesson in our art. We must come to it, like all things, with a pure mind, free from attachment and gaining ideas. This is why we suffer. Budokon is freedom from suffering, nothing more.

The Art of Living Course gives participants practical knowledge and ancient techniques that unlock their deepest potential and bring fullness to life. Whether happy and successful or feeling the stress of poor health, disappointments, or anxiety, every participant is cared for and comes away lighter, with effective tools for releasing mental and physical blockages and increasing his or her health, energy, peace of mind, self-knowledge, awareness, and joy.

The Sudarshan Kriya, taught on the course, is a technique that incorporates specific rhythms of breath to release stress, support the various organs and systems within the body, transform overpowering emotions and restore peace of mind.

According to the age old science of Yoga, impurities which accumulate in the cells cause sluggishness and promote disease. Sudarshan Kriya oxygenates the cells and rapidly flushes out impurities. Physically, the cells are vitalized; emotionally, one feels balance and contentment.

The course also includes meditation, gentle Yoga, and skills for dealing effectively with life’s challenging emotions and situations.

Several independent studies on the numerous mental and physical health benefits of the course have been published in international peer-reviewed journals and confirm what participants commonly report:

• Reduced stress, anxiety and tension
• More joy, enthusiasm and peace of mind
• Less fatigue and improved efficiency
• Heightened self-esteem and confidence
• Enhanced physical health and immune system
• Better communication and interpersonal skills
• Increased focus, clarity, and concentration
• Sharper observation and clearer perception
• Anti-aging effect.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the founder of the Art of Living Foundation and many other charitable organisations. He is a world renowned humanitarian and spiritual master in the Vedic tradition of Yoga.

The Art of The Living Foundation is the world’s largest volunteer based non-profit NGO and is established in over 150 countries.

Sri Sri and the Art of Living have initiated hundreds of educational and service projects in Canada and abroad including prisoner rehabilitation, environmental campaigns, women empowerment, youth education, disaster and trauma relief, and conflict resolution. Art of Living volunteers are dedicated to empowering individuals, strengthening communities and creating a stress-free violence-free one-world family.

Our courses are designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and are taught by specially trained volunteers. Course revenues allow the Foundation to conduct its humanitarian projects.

The Art of Living Course is offered in Montreal every month. This 6-day workshop spans from Tuesday to Sunday from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM on weeknights and from 10 AM to 5 PM on weekends. It is important to be present for all 6 sessions.

The price of the workshop is $300 for the first registration. It is then possible to repeat the course for life on a donation basis. Participants are given a home practice of tremendous value. Free weekly group practices are offered in Montreal and in 150 countries worldwide.

Specialised courses in meditation, Yoga, nutrition, Vedic philosophy, and spiritual retreats with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar are available to graduates of the Art of Living Course. Youth courses are also available with special emphasis on leadership skills and human values.

Explore your body's natural rhythms with the Nia Technique, an expressive movement practice for body, mind and spirit. This unique fusion of dance blends concepts from the East and West to deliver a richly diverse energy experience; it is infused with the spirit of:

HEALING arts [YOGA, Moshe Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique]
DANCE arts [Modern, Jazz, Duncan]
MARTIAL arts [T'ai-Chi, Tae-Kwon-Do, Aikido]

This combination creates a synergy that no isolated technique can match.

Nia is done barefoot to inspirational music and is a rewarding compliment to asana practice. It is a worldwide fitness and lifestyle program with 25 years of technical advancement.

In Nia, you become aware that every movement in life is a part of your dance and that each and every movement can be used to self-heal. Nia is movement as medicine.

At Studio Via Nia we offer the Nia experience: Classes makes use of music, imagery and literature as a source for aiding students to connect with their bodies, step into their true self, and learn how to move their whole body more powerfully and elegantly. As a student you are encouraged to further develop the basic elements of space, time, breath, energy, and form while increasing suppleness and strength of body, mind, spirit and heart.

When you experience the primary lesson of Nia - that life should be lived through sensation - you become connected.

- Marcel Proust

New to Yoga? Here is a nice way to start: Affordable small-group or private sessions at your home, at your place of work, or at a private Plateau loft/studio.

I teach Hatha Yoga (Kripalu-style) to real beginners (people with very little or no yoga experience). I suggest an 8-week program to gently and safely prepare you for drop-in studio classes or a beginner-level home practice.

I am a Montreal-based Yoga teacher registered with the Yoga Alliance.
I was introduced to yoga by my mother who had discovered this ancient practice while living in Madhya Pradesh, India. I have been leading yoga classes since 2002, and I completed my 200-hr teacher training certification in 2003. Currently, I am seeking my professional-level (500hr) certification at Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health in the Berkshires, Massachussetts.

There is no reason to rush: Start with the fundamentals, and build from a solid foundation. I hope to guide you towards your own unique, evolving, life-long yoga practice.

IYENGAR YOGA
ROSEMONT AND MILE-END

Yoga is a system of exercise that uses physical postures and breathing techniques to work the entire body and mind, strengthen muscles, lubricate joints and rejuvenate the brain and other internal organs.

This applied science of the mind and body seeks a state of perfect mental and physical health. It is a system of personal development based on honesty, non-violence and personal study.

An Indian philosophy that has been practiced for thousands of years, Yoga is highly pertinent to modern life. Its practice develops a strong, flexible and healthy body, a relaxed and alert mind and a contented outlook on life.

Certified Iyengar Yoga teachers go through a rigorous three-to-five year teacher training program based on an international syllabus and standards set by Yogacharya Shri B.K.S. Iyengar, to:
1. Develop maturity in the personal practice of asana and pranayama;
2. Develop a thorough understanding of the asanas and pranayamas for teaching purposes;
3. Gain proficiency in teaching skills;
4. Gain a basic education in anatomy;
5. Develop a working understanding of the philosophical basis of Astanga Yoga in the Iyengar Method;
6. Learn the various precautions that need to be followed for students with common problems;
7. Practice their teaching skills under the guidance of a qualified training teacher.

To enter a teacher training program, students must be competent Iyengar yoga students who maintain a daily yoga practice. We encourage any yoga student to check the conditions of certification of their yoga teacher!!!

To learn more about Iyengar yoga:
• Iyengar yoga association of Canada
• Iyengar yoga association of United States

B.K.S Iyengar, among the most influential Yogis of his time, lives in Pune, India where at 88 years old is still teaching thousands of students from all over the world.

The trademark of Iyengar practice is an intense focus on the subtleties of each posture, postures held longer, and extensive use of props (belt, chairs, blocks, blankets).

Kids Butterfly Yoga

Join us on our path to bliss!

Incorporating yoga with healthy eating habits will have a positive long term effect on children.
Kids Butterfly Yoga's goal is to create and combine these two elements to instil in children the importance of their physical and mental being.

Owner and Yogakids Associate, Angie Continisio is a devoted runner (2007 Chicago Marathon, several half marathons and 10K races). As a mother of two children, and a CanFit-Pro certified Health & Wellness Specialist, she believes that teaching children the importance of fuelling their bodies and getting in touch with their minds are important elements to carry forward with them in life.

Children absorb and process information differently through movement, seeing, listening, touching, singing and reading. The YogaKids method educates the whole child with an integrative approach that addresses their brain, intellect, body and spirit in a seamless fashion.

I began practicing yoga in 1996, and started teaching in 1999 at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Western Massachusetts. In 2000, upon completion of a two year residency program and a 500 hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training, I've pursued my training with teachers from different horizons and schools of thoughts, both in Montreal and abroad. Currently, I teach group and private classes for beginners, intermediate, advanced and pregnant students. I believe yoga is a great means to reconnect to ourselves, our bodies, our emotions and our thoughts. During the poses we focus on alignment principles, as well as developing a sense of self-awareness, self-observation and compassion.

In massage therapy I practice the Reiki Usui method and Thai Yoga massage, as well as Swedish massage and Myofascial Therapy. I find massage therapy to be a complementary tool in any quest for physical, emotional and psychological well being; it helps in reducing stress levels (yours as well as mine!), and works equally for sedentary and active people.

A course inspired by the movement, dance and yoga traditions of India! Yoga (Jyog) and Indian Sacred/Classical dance are inseparable. Both diciplines have common roots that go back thousands of years. It is believed that the sacred teachings were handed down to us through expression, movement and rhythm of dance; a dynamic form of Yoga!

The sacred Yogic dance postures and Mudras (symbolic hand gestures), flow from one posture to another smoothly like dance. Slow and fast rhythmic music is used to help position the postures. Nritya Yoga postures, Mudra work, Yogic breathwork, visualizations, Vibrant Sacred Trance Dance and meditation in motion, are all incorporated in the Nritya Yoga Practice. An experience that truly incorporates the body, mind & spirit; a form of meditation in motion that is spiritually inspiring and soulfully uplifting!!

Amrita Choudhury was educated at Santiniketan (The Abode of Peace founded by Rabindranath Tagore) in India and has instructed, choreographed, and performed yogadance/dance for the past 25 years. She has studied the art of Sacred Dance, Yoga and therapeutic Mudras (symbolic hand gestures) and incorporates in her practices of dance therapy. Amrita also performs anthropological research in the field of dance/yoga related to the great yogini's/yogi's of ancient Indian temples. Nritya Yoga is designed for both women and men and can aid to improving one's health emotionally, physically and spiritually

In Nritya Yoga (Yoga of Dance), Amrita goes back to the ancient Indian philosophy of Jyog (Yoga) and Sacred Dance, and brings this knowledge back to a contemporary setting of today's life. Nritya Yoga is a philosophy of life in joyful, spirited motion; blissful union of the body, mind and spirit!!
