01 / Classes
Six ways to move and breathe with us. Tap any tile to open its details — schedule, pace, and sample pricing.
Classic postures held with attention to breath and alignment — strong enough to build heat, calm enough to leave clear-headed. The backbone of the schedule.
Long, quiet holds — three to five minutes a pose — working deep connective tissue. Bring layers; the room stays still and the practice does the work.
A softer pace for beginners, older bodies, injuries, or days when strong isn't on the menu. Props, options, and zero pressure — the best first class to try.
Fully supported poses held in stillness — bolsters, blankets, and twenty minutes of doing nothing on purpose. The nervous system's favourite hour.
Guided breath sessions that run alongside the movement classes — or stand alone as a quiet morning practice before the day starts.
Seated practice with guidance that actually helps — posture, breath, and a thread to follow when the mind wanders. Cushions provided, fidgeting allowed.
02 / Your first month
Four steps, no leaps. Open each strip to see what it looks like in practice.
Hatha for a classic practice, Yin for deep stillness, Gentle for a soft landing. Not sure? Come to Gentle first — the teacher will help you find your fit.
Drop in, introduce yourself, borrow a mat if you need one. Arrive ten minutes early and the teacher will show you where everything lives.
Two classes a week changes how a month feels. Class passes make the regulars' rhythm affordable — and the same faces start to feel like yours.
The 200-hour training, the online platform, workshops through the year — the practice grows with you, at whatever pace suits your life.
03 / Go deeper
Training, private work, and online study — open a panel for the details.
A full Hatha teacher training with Melanie Richards and guest teachers — for people who want to teach, or simply to understand their practice from the inside out. Over ten years of transforming lives; applications are open now.
One-on-one work for injuries, specific goals, or a practice shaped entirely around you. A calm hour, fully yours — scheduled around your week.
Can't make it to Sainte-Catherine? The online platform carries the studio's classes to your living room, on your schedule — and seasonal workshops go deeper into one theme at a time.

06 / FAQ
Start with Gentle yoga — a softer pace with props and options. Tell the teacher it's your first class and you'll be guided through the basics.
Hatha is active practice — postures linked with breath, building strength and mobility. Yin is stillness — long-held poses (3–5 minutes) targeting deep tissue. Many students do both.
The Class of 2027 runs January to September with Melanie Richards and guest teachers — a full Hatha training for future teachers and dedicated students. Applications are open now.
