we are united

An elderly man with gray hair and glasses practices a seated yoga pose while three women observe and assist him in a yoga class. The setting appears to be a yoga studio with mats, chairs, and windows bringing natural light into the room.

A yoga school founded in 2006 by Hart Lazer and 
Donna Read, we offer Yoga Teacher Training, classes, 
workshops, and intensives for all levels of yoga practitioners. Join us online via ZOOM, and in the studios of friends and

About

Donna met Hart when she attended a training he was teaching in 2003. Soon after, Hart relocated to Montreal, Quebec from Winnipeg, Manitoba and they opened United Yoga Montreal on Sainte-Catherine Street, where they joyfully ran classes, yoga teacher trainings and hosted guest teachers from all over the world. When they shut their doors in 2020, they opened up to a world on line, connecting their local and international students. Hart and Donna continue to offer personal, group, and teacher trainings in Montreal and abroad.
