The Mysore Program
In the heart of The Plateau in Montréal The Mysore Program invites long-term practitioners and beginners alike to join us in daily Mysore classes, guided classes & in depth trainings.
The Mysore Program was born from a sincere love for the practice of yoga.
Ashtanga Yoga has taught us, and continues to teach us, how to become more compassionate, more present, more fully human. We believe that these sequences, approached with intention, openness, sincerity, consistency, and yes, a generous sense of humor, hold a quiet but profound power to transform lives. Nurturing that kind of space is at the heart of everything we do.
As teachers, we each arrived at our Ashtanga practice by a different door. Our journeys through the world of Ashtanga have been long and winding, shaped by detours, discoveries, and the kind of insight that only time and honest practice can bring. Though our paths were distinct, they eventually converged, drawn together by a shared approach to the practice, one deeply informed and inspired by the teachings of Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor.
What we carry from our individual roads before that meeting point isn't contradiction, it's colour.
Between us, we offer different entry points, different perspectives for inquiry, different aspects of the practice to look more closely at and explore, while always returning to the same foundational knowing: that this practice, its sequences, and its techniques are most powerful when approached from the inside out.
That internal life of the practice is something we return to again and again. It is where the real connections live — between postures, between the various limbs of the practice, and between each other. When we begin there, something shifts. The practice stops being something to check off your to-do list and becomes something you genuinely want to return to, not out of obligation, but because it brings you joy.
We believe in meeting you where you are.
Not asking you to contort yourself toward some fixed ideal, but offering Ashtanga's sequences and techniques as they apply to you, honoring the authenticity of the practice precisely by allowing it to be alive and responsive.
