Go further in your yoga practice thanks to various events presented by the studio’s teachers. Our workshops and series, respectively conducted over one or more sessions, cover specific topics and allow you to gain a better understanding of them.
Our annual retreat is the perfect opportunity to get away from it all and reconnect with your senses.
This workshop will help us take steps to encourage and preserve the health of our breasts.
In this 3-hour workshop, you can expect to learn a sequence of not only yoga asana, but qi-gong and guided meditation that will enlighten your relationship to your breasts. We will support the healthy action of the liver, which filters hormones, and improve circulation into and around the delicate tissues of the breasts, armpits, and lymph nodes.
Guided meditations will help us to further befriend and support our breasts.
(Since we will be working in a way that increases circulation, this workshop is most appropriate for women who do not presently have breast cancer).

At the winter solstice, we follow the path of transformation through the darkness into the light of a new beginning. We go through a cycle of perpetual motion: the year goes from light to dark to light. Our attention, our energy, the body, the nervous system, our thoughts, our whole lives, never separated from the cycles of time itself, go like this: Light, dark, light. Let us join this winter solstice to honor the return of precious light with restorative yoga, the sound of singing bowls and meditation.

The movement and writing workshop offers a space to play at putting into words what arises when the body moves, breathes or stands still. The aim is to untie body and mind by alternating yoga and writing sessions. It’s also about refining a certain way of paying attention to or listening to what’s inscribed in the body, particularly when it forgets itself, warms up, relaxes. The workshop is open to everyone, whether you write a little, a lot or not at all. No previous yoga experience is necessary

This course aims to establish the foundations of mindfulness meditation with the Unified Mindfulness system, a clear, precise and comprehensive approach to meditation. The practice of meditation is defined in this system as the development of three complementary attentional skills: concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity.
The program for this session will present five meditation techniques and how to use them according to the needs, interests, and opportunities that arise in our lives. We will also learn how to practice these techniques in action in our daily lives, how to deal with obstacles that may arise in meditation and how to grow and deepen our practice over time.
Including teachings on techniques and strategies, guided meditations, and periods for discussions about practice, this highly interactive course aims to make the practice of mindfulness meditation accessible to all and to debunk myths that hinder its practice.
Both those who have never practiced meditation and experienced meditators who wish to deepen their practice are welcome!

This series is for all women who would like to develop a practice adapted to their hormonal cycles. Together, we’ll explore different ways of coping with the symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and menopause.
More specifically, over the course of six sessions, we’ll explore various targeted approaches to yoga:
– Restorative postures to calm and rest the nervous system
– Guided breathing, particularly around the pelvic area
– Yin postures and movements to promote circulation and vitality
By getting together every week, and allowing ourselves time and space, we’ll have the opportunity to pay attention to what’s more sensitive, to what fluctuates. Ultimately, it’s about gently apprehending the transitions specific to women’s physiology in a different way, and possibly getting to know and welcome ourselves better.
