Yoga Yūni grounds its practice in classical Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda, drawing from Iyengar and Satyananda traditions to offer a specialized practice that few studios in Montreal attempt. Founded by Julia da Escossia and André Borin—Brazilian transplants who built the studio after years of teaching and training—it operates out of two quiet locations in the Plateau and Verdun. Classes span prenatal to senior, with group sessions, private care, and therapeutic ayurveda all keeping focus on alignment, breathing, and restoration. Yūni also offers Ayurvedic consultations and international-level teacher training, positioning itself more as a centre for lifelong learning than a drop-in workout space. The teaching here is slow, intentional, and informed by years of study in anatomy and yogic philosophy. For those seeking a steady, introspective approach to movement and health, Yūni makes room for stillness and study.
