Welcome
My name is Pascale Bouchard
I am a Yoga Teacher based in Montreal. I offer private sessions and group events in both French and English with the goal of helping you to uncover the answers and clarity that lie within. Through my group offerings, I strive to create a community rooted in common values, such as authentic expression, acceptance, and compassion. With a background in medical sciences and research, combined with extensive experience in the healing arts, I enjoy bridging science and spirituality for a grounded approach to health and well-being.
What is Yoga Therapy?
"Yoga therapy is a holistic healing art. Rather than prescribe treatments, it invites presence and awareness. Using age-old yogic approaches to deeper presence and awareness, we are able to know ourselves more fully. Out of that knowing, we are more easily moved to embrace the opportunity for change, growth, and enhanced well-being in body, feelings, thought, and spirit."
Michael Lee, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
What a Yoga Therapy session looks like
The first appointment consists of an initial assessment where the Pascale gathers information about your health history, current concerns, and goals for the session. Based on this assessment, the Pascale will suggest a tailored yoga practice that may include a combination of physical postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, mindfulness techniques, and relaxation practices.
Throughout the session, the Pascale guides you through the suggested practices, offering adjustments, modifications, and verbal cues to ensure safety and effectiveness. The focus is on fostering self-awareness, encouraging mindful movement, and promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Pascale may also provide education and guidance on lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, and stress to support overall well-being.
Overall, you can expect to feel supported, empowered, and deeply nourished during a yoga therapy session as you explore new ways to cultivate balance, resilience, and vitality in your lives.
"Pascale is such a warm hearted and empathetic yoga instructor. She is in tune with the needs of her students. Pascale is able to push people while respecting their limits and offering alternative poses when needed. I have always enjoyed her classes and the way she takes the time to get to know her students. Her love for what she does is inspiring and keeps me coming back for more of her yoga classes!"

Guided Meditation & Visualization
As part of your Yoga Therapy session, experience guided visualization and yoga nidra to help you relax deeply and connect with your intuition and inner wisdom.
Guided visualization is an effective technique to process emotions, overcome fears and limiting beliefs, manage stress and anxiety, develop self-confidence, gain clarity on concerns that are troubling you, and find inner peace.
Pascale leads you through a Yoga Nidra to relax deeply, followed by a guided meditation where you gently explore with your imagination, allowing your own clarity and insights to emerge naturally.
