we are united

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.

  • "This is the best bilingual yoga school. Donna Read and Hart Lazer are dedicated, knowledgeable and professional teachers. I highly recommend their teachings, I will follow other trainings. With them, I learned more than yoga."

  • "I learned extensively on safety and proper allignment of the poses. This gave me a great foundation on how to integrate yoga props in any kind of practice."
