Retour à soi – yoga workshop guided by Kantuta and ClaraRestorative yoga, therapeutic touch and sound baths

An inner journey to soothe, relax and refocus.

Need to calm your nervous system and reduce your internal temperature this summer?

Treat yourself to an interlude of physical and mental recuperation, a moment of deep relaxation to come back to yourself, gently.

During this workshop, we’ll explore a slow, enveloping, prop-supported restorative yoga practice designed to invite the body and mind to release accumulated tension.

The practice will be accompanied by gentle therapeutic touch, to support the opening of the body, activate deep relaxation and guide your nervous system towards the parasympathetic state – that of rest, regeneration and repair.

We also encourage conscious breathing throughout the session: a return to simple, fluid breathing to regulate internal energy, calm the mind and support bodily relaxation.

To round off this immersion, you’ll be lulled to sleep by a sound bath: the vibrations of Tibetan bowls, chimes and other intuitive instruments will harmonize the energetic body, soothe the emotions and deepen the state of letting go.

Treat yourself to this moment of care and presence. No previous experience necessary – just the desire to slow down and listen to what your body and heart have to say.

Your guides

Lucas Melo • Yoga teacher

Lucas was first introduced to yoga during his teenage years. This discipline helped him believe in change as he immigrated from Brazil to start a brand new life in Montreal. Eager to deepen his practice, he earned his yoga teacher training certification in 2023 under the guidance of François Lacerte.

Agathe • Organizer

Passionate about outdoor activities, Agathe has been hiking and climbing for several years. Yoga became an obvious choice for her during the COVID period, allowing her to cultivate inner balance while maintaining good physical condition.

Guerreras tells the little-known story of the female climbing community in Colombia and invites the audience to reflect on how their own identity intersects with their climbing experience, while providing insight into the reality of an underrepresented population in the climbing world: Latin American female climbers.

Guerreras allows climbers from around the world to come together around common themes such as multiracial identities, Latin American histories, femininity, and a shared love of climbing.

Although this story focuses on the Colombian female climbing community, audiences around the world can relate to its universal themes. Topics such as motherhood, expectations of women, balancing life and climbing, body image standards, performance pressure, machismo, and community empowerment will be explored.

This film promotes international solidarity in the field of climbing and will help climbers become more aware of global issues.

New benefit for subscribers: 20% discount on yoga workshops!

Following this very Yang summer, it is time to gradually slow down in order to welcome more Yin. Together, let us channel our energy towards introspection. The time has come to integrate what we have learned. To do this, we must dare to settle down and listen to our bodies express themselves. To this end, restorative yoga accompanied by therapeutic touch will encourage a decentralization of the senses, facilitating receptivity to our deep beliefs and needs. The whole experience will be sealed by a sound bath inviting us to potentially reach another state of consciousness.

At the summit with Bolivia's cholitas escaladoras talk
2025-10-03 19:30 - 21:00 | Zéro Gravité escalade & yoga, 4519 Papineau, Montreal, QC, H2H1V4
Screening of the documentary film “Cholitas,” which recounts this group of women’s ascent to the summit of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. The film will be followed by a conference to discuss the initiative of these guardians of the mountain in greater detail and share Tanya Lecuyer’s experience of climbing Huayna Potosí (6,088 m) alongside them last September.

The Cholitas escaladoras of Bolivia are Aymara women who love high-altitude sports. They have carved out a place for themselves in a predominantly male sector and are following their path as cooks and guides, with the dream of telling their story to the world, inspiring those around them, and training more women to become mountain guides. They carry messages of women’s empowerment and mountain protection to the highest peaks.

Cette activité s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une levée de fonds pour les appuyer: il sera possible de faire un don, et Tanya viendra également avec de l’artisanat qu’elles ont fabriqué qui sera en vente.
