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.
To end 2020 and welcome the New Year with a rested mind and a light heart, Marielle offers 10 mornings of sadhana with the grand finale of 108 sun salutations on December 31st.
From December 21st to 31st (with a break on December 25th), from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., enjoy a daily practice to start your day with vitality. The first nine classes will lead to a tenth and final 90 minute practice on the morning of December 31st.
This end-of-year challenge does not come with a fixed price, but a call from the entire studio team for your generosity and support. For each of your participation, we invite you to make a donation on our brand new GoFundMe platform. You could, for example, offer $ 1 for each of the sun salutation in this challenge.
Every donation counts and will help us stay on the ground when this pandemic returns.

Thank you ❤️

Kim Zombik warmly welcomes you to a new on-line series at Yoga Bhavana Studio for Black and Indigenous folks and People of Colour. In these BIPOC classes, we will use Yoga, with its ancient intent of profound liberation, as a sacred time to unfold one’s tight body, rest the brain, cool the heart and settle a frazzled nervous system. Outside of the sphere of white-body dominance, let’s explore freedom and liberation in simply being ourselves, moment to moment, through poses and guided meditation. (although she is functional in French, the class will be led in English.)
You’re welcome to join us for one class, or for all three!
Fees:
Same as regular classes
A gentle practice aimed at relaxing and loosening the tensions of a specific area, depending on the theme addressed. Self-massages will be offered to promote the release of accumulated tensions, targeted according to the theme of the class. A whole juxtaposing restorative, therapeutic and Yin yoga, with an intention of presence and kindness towards oneself. Consciousness with a global feeling, through slow movements and postures advocating relaxation, will be privileged. You will only come out more present, aware and relaxed. An invigorating, long-term effect.
Abdomen and stomach: A therapeutic practice for digestive health including postures from therapeutic yoga, gentle Hatha and restorative. A moment to relax both energetically and physiologically. Self-massage techniques inspired by combined approaches (Trager approach, Thai massage, Swedish), will complete this gentle and calming practice.
Upper back and the neck: A therapeutic practice to relieve an area stressed on a daily basis. Gentle stretching, movements and mobilizations, then yin and restorative yoga postures will be offered, with a therapeutic aim, enhanced by self-massages inspired by Swedish massage.
Hands and wrists: To relieve and lighten the hands and arms, which take, carry, transport and communicate on a daily basis. Gentle mobilizations, therapeutic and restorative yoga (passive postures supported), self-massages and the use of weights (blankets, bag of sand or rice), to calm and anchor, will be introduced. A moment to take care of your hands and wrists!
Fees:
1 class: 20 $ tx incl.
3 classes : 55 $ tx incl.
Sadhana can be defined as The Return Journey. What are we returning to? Through practice, we return to our true divine nature that lies beneath our conditioned individual selves, as a state of deep integrity, clarity and grace. Please join me in a week-long morning sadhana that will include inspirational readings, simple asana practice (focussing on the spine and kidneys) and meditation, all to help us abide in our sacred centre.
85 $ tx. incl. for the complete sadhana
20 $ tx. incl. for one class
Spring is the time when the great thawing begins here, the sap rises, buds begin to form and we unfold our cocooned winter bodies. In traditional Chinese medicine, this upward and expansive impulse is related to the element of wood and to the Liver and gallbladder. These organs influence our capacity to have a clear view of what we would like to grow in the garden of our lives, and how to go about planting those seeds.
In this 5 day long sadhana, using both yin and hatha postures as well as sound, we will shake the old stagnant chi from the liver and gallbladder so that we can truly spiral into spring.
85 $ tx. incl. for the complete sadhana
20 $ tx. incl. for one class
Each year, Marie-Daphné Roy, our founder, as well as Hélène Doucet-Beaupré, founder of Espace Metta, provide you with an enriching experience in a unique setting. You will experience meditation techniques in addition to practicing regenerating and energizing yoga.
