Ashtanga Yoga Montreal

A fixture in the downtown core since 2000, Ashtanga Yoga Montreal bridges tradition with adaptability. Founded by Mark Darby and Allison Ulan, AYM was one of the first studios to bring Mysore-style Ashtanga to the city. Today, it honours those roots while embracing a wide spectrum of practices, from Vinyasa and Hatha to Ying and Restorative. Early-morning Mysore sessions and gentle community classes all unfold in a bright studio on Ste-Catherine O, with an emphasis on safe alignment, personal growth, and sustained practice. The community is ego-free, teachers are extremely well-studied, and accessibility is put in practice with the option to join discounted virtual sessions.
