Class Details
Overview
Create spaciousness in your body and calm in your mind with Yoga & Breathwork. Located at our Dorval studio, this mindful flow practice combines intentional alignment, functional joint mobility, and deep diaphragmatic breathwork to release physical tension and decompress your nervous system.
At Willow Wellness Centre, our yoga classes are designed to be accessible, therapeutic, and deeply grounding. Certified instructors guide you through fluid pose transitions that build subtle strength, lengthen tight hamstrings and hips, and quiet an overactive mind. Step off the mat feeling centered, long, and restored.

I’m not flexible at all—can I still do yoga?
Yes! Flexibility is a result of yoga, not a prerequisite. Our classes use props like blocks and straps so you can practice comfortably regardless of your current flexibility.
What style of yoga is taught in this class
Our classes blend gentle Vinyasa flow with functional alignment and restorative breathwork, focusing on mobility and nervous system decompression rather than rigid poses.
