Classes at United Yoga Montreal arise from three separate roots of the tree of yoga. First, an inspirational blend of the Iyengar and Astanga Yoga traditions, arising from the lives and teachings of Krishnamacharya (1888-1989), Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), and B.K.S. Iyengar (1918- ).
These classes teach correct anatomical alignment of the classic asanas of Ashtanga Yoga, as well as giving students an experience of the restorative and therapeutic effects of Iyengar Yoga. Props such as blocks, straps, ropes, wall slings, benches and chairs are often used to support, or create space in the students’ bodies. In addition to correcting long-term misalignments, students simultaneously develop strength and flexibility.
Second, Kripalu Yoga, inspired by the life and teachings of Swami Kripalvananda (1913-1981)
Known as the yoga of compassion, Kripalu Yoga develops a strong healthy body, an open and caring heart, and a peaceful and clear mind. The practice is creative, incorporating lively flowing postures, which emphasizes the wisdom of precise alignment, yogic breathing, mindfulness, compassion and freedom. These qualities allow you to comfortably challenge yourself at your own pace, and leads to a deeper understanding of yourself and your connection to the world around you.
