All are welcome!
For all those looking for a bit of peace and quiet, we are offering our Gentle Integral Hatha Yoga classes. Classes are structured to run about 1.5 hours long, with gentle, meditative asana poses to improve flexibility, and an extended deep relaxation. Classes are by donation, or pay-what-you-can. For more information, check out our Classes and Schedule.
Confronting one’s mortality can be an overwhelming prospect. However, with a strong spiritual foundation, one can prepare for the end of life by living well, in the present moment. This recently launched project offers some resources for approaching the end of life in a yogic way, with information and resources organized into six tracks: spiritual; physical release; practical planning; community service; memorials and interment; and legacy giving. From the Integral Yoga End-Of-Life Project website:
“For over half a century, Integral Yoga has taught us how to live an easeful, peaceful, and useful life. Now, as we age, the time has come for Integral Yoga to lead the way in guiding people to prepare for the end of life so we may more peacefully leave our legacies behind us. The curriculum for this initiative has the potential to be as significant to Yoga Teacher Training as has been to the development of Yoga Therapy. The programming for it is developed by senior Integral Yoga students and ministers worldwide.”

To all current and prospective students: in accordance with the guidelines set by the government of Quebec, the Integral Yoga Institute of Montreal is CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE due to the current concerns around COVID-19, as a necessary measure to keep staff and students safe.
We appreciate your continued support, and encourage everyone to follow government recommendations regarding the issue. We must work together as a community and society to ensure our collective well-being, and aim to rise above fear by continuing to practice kindness and compassion to each other and ourselves during this challenging time.
We look forward to the day when we can have classes again, but in the meantime, we urge everyone to do their best to continuing practicing yoga and meditation — at home!

The study of a text is also the study of ourselves. The Pratyabhijñahrdayam will be used a springboard for introducing and discussing the non-dual philosophy of Self-recognition in Kashmir Shaivism. No experience with text study is necessary, simply an interest in understanding Consciousness in its play as ourselves.

YOGA FOR RECOVERY & RELAPSE PREVENTION
Recovery can be a long process, whether it’s from a dependence on substances, or compulsive behaviours (gambling, gaming, overeating or even shopping). Yoga can help support the recovery process by providing holistic tools to help prevent relapse, maintain sobriety and promote overall physical, mental and emotional balance to aid in coping with daily stresses.
Participants in this one-hour long yoga class will benefit from the practice of physical postures, plus a short guided deep relaxation designed to revitalize all the body’s systems, all done in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
TIME / HORAIRE: 14 – 15h
DATES: Sundays, September 16 – October 28 (6 classes, no class October 7; taught in English)
WHERE / LIEU: Institut de Yoga Intégral de Montréal, 5425 Avenue Du Parc
DONATION / DONS: $5.00 (suggested per class / par cours — pay-what-you-can but no one turned away / mais personne ne sera refusé à la porte)

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION & SUPPORT GROUP FOR RECOVERY & RELAPSE PREVENTION
Meditation can help support the addiction recovery process by giving us tools to retrain the mind, develop emotional stability, reduce anxiety and stress. Our self-awareness is deepened through the practice of meditation, allowing us to gain deeper insight into the root causes of our habitual tendencies, which can help reduce cravings and prevent relapses.
This one-hour meditation & support group session combines brief instruction in various simple, mindfulness meditation techniques, readings, and a “sharing circle” / support group component to encourage participants’ journey toward long-term recovery. All are welcome, no previous meditation experience necessary.
TIME / HORAIRE: 15 – 16h
DATES: Sundays, September 16 – October 28 (6 sessions, no class October 7; taught in English)

New workshop at the Integral Yoga Institute of Montreal on August 12, given by Amy Colman-James:
“This is a 7-hour long, interactive workshop designed to inform and educate participants on the foundation of yoga alignment. Many students struggle to understand basic anatomical alignment as regular classes often deny the time to teach these imperative skills. Through my yoga principles workshop I aim to help students improve their personal practice by teaching them the benefit of a strong, supported and well-aligned body.”

This donation-based series of 6 classes is appropriate for those who are in early or long-term recovery, regardless of age, ability, or size, and is intended to complement — not replace — a recovery program such as S.M.A.R.T. or The 12 Steps. Participants are encouraged to take part in all 6 classes to help build the foundation for a personal home yoga practice. This series of classes is based on the S.O.A.R. (Success Over Addiction and Relapse) Yoga program.
24 hour period of abstinence required prior to class.
YOGA RÉCUPÉRATION & PRÉVENTION DES RECHUTES
La récupération peut être un très long processus, autant pour ceux qui travaillent à se sortir de la dépendance aux substances toxiques que pour ceux qui se sont engagés dans des comportements destructeurs tels la dépendance au jeu, à la nourriture, ou même au magasinage. La pratique du Yoga renforce le processus de récupération en fournissant des outils holistiques qui aident à prévenir les rechutes, à maintenir la sobriété, et à promouvoir un équilibre physiologique, mental et émotionnel global permettant de faire face aux stress quotidiens.
Durant le cour de Yoga d’une heure, des postures physiques seront enseignées et pratiquées, ainsi qu’une courte séance de relaxation profonde, « guidée », conçues pour revitaliser les systèmes physiologiques, le tout dans une ambiance sereine et accueillante.
Cette série de six (6) cours reposant sur des dons s’adresse aux personnes engagées dans une démarche de récupération, que ce soit dans les premières étapes ou pendant un long cheminement, quel que soit leur âge, leurs compétences ou leur taille. Il s’agit d’un complément — et non pas d’un substitut — à un traitement approprié tels S.M.A.R.T ou « Les 12 étapes ». Les débutants en Yoga sont les bienvenus. Nous encourageons les participants à suivre chacun des 6 cours, ce qui leur permettra d’acquérir les bases pour pratiquer le Yoga à la maison. Cette série de cours est basée sur le S.O.A.R. (Success Over Addiction Relapse) Yoga Program.
Nous demandons une période d’abstinence de 24 heures avant les cours.
TIME / HORAIRE : Thursdays @ 6 PM / Tous les jeudis, à 18 heures.
DATES: From/Du 22 June/juin to/au 27 July/juillet 2017 (6 weeks/semaines)
