Integral Yoga End-Of-Life Project

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.”

** COVID-19 UPDATE: IYI Closed Until Further Notice **

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 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!

Yoga & Meditation for Addiction Recovery & Relapse Prevention (6 Weeks)

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

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)
