THE LUNA FAMILY

ABOUT US

Founded in 2003 by Jennifer Maagendans, Luna Yoga is a community-rooted studio in the heart of Old Montreal, offering strong, breath-led yoga in a welcoming and grounded space. We’re here for people who want to build strength, move with intention, and leave class feeling uplifted.

Most of our classes are dynamic vinyasa flows designed to build functional, full-body strength while staying deeply connected to breath and body awareness. We believe in Strength with Soul — movement that challenges and empowers, while also supporting stress relief, balance, and long-term sustainability. Alongside our stronger classes, we offer grounding practices like Yin and Flo into Yin to support recovery and reset.

Our teaching is thoughtful, inclusive, and non-competitive, with an emphasis on smart sequencing, alignment, and options for different bodies and energy levels. You’ll be encouraged to listen to your body and practice in a way that feels supportive rather than performative.

In addition to daily group classes, Luna Yoga offers private sessions, a 200-hour Teacher Training Program, a 100-hour Advanced Teacher Training, continued education for teachers, seasonal workshops, special events, and immersive retreats in beautiful destinations.

At its heart, yoga is about connection — to body, breath, and community. Our hope is that every class leaves you feeling stronger, more grounded, and more at ease in your own skin.

OUR VALUES

Since 2003, we’ve been more than a yoga studio—we’ve been a community home. Yoga is the spark, but community is the fire. Proudly female-owned, we believe in creating an inclusive and empowering space where everyone feels they belong. Just as we care for people, we care for the planet—making conscious choices to reduce our footprint and honor the earth. Grounded in tradition yet always evolving, we’re here to inspire connection, strength, and sustainability.

    YOGA FLO

    Luna Yoga’s unique approach to yoga brings together strength, breath, and presence in a dynamic Vinyasa-style practice we call YogaFlo. Rooted in traditional lineages such as Ashtanga, Hatha, and Jivamukti, YogaFlo blends thoughtful sequencing, fluid movement, and steady breath to build functional strength while cultivating calm and focus.

    Through years of teaching, practice, and continued study, Luna YogaFlo has evolved into a challenging, fresh, and invigorating style that honors the depth of yoga while staying accessible and adaptable to modern bodies and lives. Each class is designed to help you feel strong, grounded, and uplifted — combining athletic movement with mindful awareness.

    This is what we mean by Strength with Soul: moving with intention, building resilience, and leaving class not only stronger, but more connected to yourself and your breath.

    JIVAMUKTI YOGA

    Jivamukti Yoga is a dynamic and inspiring vinyasa practice created by David Life and Sharon Gannon, blending strong physical movement with spiritual and philosophical teachings. The word jiva means individual soul and mukti means liberation — together, Jivamukti points to the idea of finding freedom while fully living in the body.

    Classes are built around creatively sequenced, ever-evolving flows that challenge you physically, mentally, and energetically. Each class is guided by a theme rooted in ancient wisdom, encouraging students to move with intention and deeper awareness.

    Chanting, meditation, and carefully curated music are woven into every class, creating an experience that is both empowering and reflective. Expect to build strength, open your heart, and leave feeling grounded, uplifted, and connected — to your practice and to something deeper within yourself.

  • Yin Yoga

    YIN YOGA

    Yin Yoga offers a grounding counterbalance to our stronger flows — an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and settle into stillness. Rooted in traditional practices and shaped by our modern, inclusive community, Yin supports both physical release and mental calm.

    Postures are held for several minutes, gently targeting the fascia, joints, and connective tissues while encouraging the nervous system to shift into a more relaxed state. Beyond the physical benefits, Yin creates space for presence, reflection, and reconnection with yourself.

    At Luna, Yin is a quiet and intentional practice. The lights are low, the pace is slow, and the energy is soft and supportive. Whether you’re balancing a strong practice or simply needing time to unwind, Yin offers a chance to soften, reset, and return to your next class feeling more grounded and open.

    FLO INTO YIN

    Flo into Yin is the perfect blend of movement and stillness — combining the strength and energy of a vinyasa flow with the deep release of Yin. This class begins with an active, breath-led sequence to build heat, strength, and mobility, then gradually transitions into longer-held, floor-based poses that invite the body and nervous system to slow down.

    The flow portion helps you feel strong and energized, while the Yin portion supports recovery, flexibility, and mental calm. Together, they create a balanced practice that challenges and soothes in equal measure — a true expression of Strength with Soul.

    At Luna, Flo into Yin is designed to help you shift from doing to being, from effort to ease. You’ll leave feeling worked, grounded, and deeply restored — ready to carry that sense of balance into the rest of your day (or night).

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

From my very first visit to Luna, I knew there was a powerful and unique energy at work. Now over five years later, I realize it is its solid physical practice, rich teachings and authentic approach to yoga which sets it apart from other studios Montreal-wide. The genuine environment created by the teachers, staff and students always bring me to a higher place of joy and inner peace.

- Marie Claire Gagnier

The Jivamukti classes are extremely motivating and intelligent. There's something to please everyone and there are interesting challenges for more advanced yogis without feeling competitive.

The Yoga Flo 1 classes allow you to improve and to breathe. It's encouraging, motivating, intelligent, all while honouring the breath.

The reception at the studio is always kind, sincere, simple and easy.

- Hélène Boudreau

Luna Yoga is a place where you just feel good. The studio is cozy, the ambiance is zen and relaxed. The instructors are extremely competent, friendly and sometimes even funny. Everyone who works at the studio is always smiling and accommodating. I come to the Jivamukti classes and would not miss them for anything in the world. Jennifer and other teachers are very inspiring and always have good music for us to listen to. I always leave in a great mood!
