Yoga Classes
Our Teachers
Maya Khamala
Maya offers weekly Kundalini classes at Sanctuary on Thursdays from 10-11:15am, starting back up again as of Sept 24th. Register here: https://heartfirekundalini.com/
Maya Khamala is a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher (KYTT-300), Embodied Writing facilitator, (and writer!) who has made a habit of inviting people back into the wisdom of their breath, their body, and their voice.
She holds a deep belief that self-justice is not only integral to personal healing, but is also a powerful force that ripples outward, positively affecting justice struggles everywhere. Her practice is guided by many years of feminist, anti-racist, climate justice, and Indigenous solidarity organizing and activism.
Maya carries the complex imprints of many worlds. Her paternal ancestry traces a tangled colonial path from India to Suriname. Her mother’s side hails from Eastern Europe to Quebec. Her Punjabi roots attune her to the presence of her forebears, felt across time. Although raised outside the boundaries of organized religion, her background weaves together Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu cultural lineages—a persistent inheritance of survival, ritual, and rhythm.
Maya came to Kundalini Yoga not in search of awakening, but as a way of unwinding the long-term patterns that childhood trauma etched into her nervous system. What she stumbled upon was an unapologetic return to self and strength.
Toya Gratton
Toya offers monthly Hatha Yoga/Sound Bath events with Eleuthera at Sanctuary Sunday Sept 20, Oct 18, Nov 22 and Dec 20 from 4-5:30pm.
RSVP: sanctuarymtl@gmail.com
Toya grew up in Montreal and has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, both as a healing modality and for physical well-being.
She is trained in Vinyasa, Hridaya, Nidra and Hatha, and is heavily influenced by Sivananda, which was brought to Montreal and North America in 1959. Her goal is to share a complete, classic yoga practice that is accessible to all.
She loves travel, books and eating. Elle parle français y también habla español.
