meet STUDIO MILE END !
12 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ı YOGA & PILATES AU SOL
Studio Mile End, formerly known as Wanderlust Yoga Studio, has been a cornerstone of Montreal’s yoga scene since it opened in 2013. The studio quickly became known for its blend of creativity and rigor in its yoga sequences, offering both physical and mental challenges while maintaining exceptional precision in alignment. The energetic atmosphere, carefully curated music, and the warmth of its teaching team have made it an essential destination for yoga practitioners.
In 2020, a year of transformation for many, the studio embraced a significant shift, evolving into Studio Mile End. With the support and mutual understanding of the original Wanderlust partners, the studio proudly took full ownership of its growth, stepping into independence under its new name.
This rebranding marks a pivotal moment in the studio’s journey, while staying true to the values that made it unique.
Led by Ariane Paradis, Rachel Jacobs, and Geneviève Guérard, Studio Mile End is a remarkable space where a thriving community can come together, challenge themselves, and find renewal.
what we stand for ?
OUR VALUES ı STUDIO MILE END
practicing
We are committed to transmitting a program that respects the philosophical precepts of YOGA as accurately as possible, while applying them to the world we live in today. The study of history, philosophy, language and value systems is essential to navigating the teachings with integrity.
HUMAN
In our complex and diverse world, we are all united by our common humanity. Exploring our truth and our authenticity in all their vulnerability, are acts of courage that require patience and kindness. To ourselves and to others. Our intention is to cultivate a world where equality and empathy are the pillars of our interactions.
SOLIDArity
At STUDIO MILE END we are committed to maintaining a safe and caring space. We recognize that self-exploration requires a space where each participant feels confident, and can therefore rely on others. For this to happen, we need to build relationships, know the framework of our interactions and define the rules of our exchanges. In this way, an environment is created where everyone can feel free to explore their personal power.
evolving
It's Socratic irony! The more knowledge we acquire, the more we realize how much there is that we don't know. This concept emphasizes intellectual humility and encourages the constant pursuit of knowledge and understanding, even if this means recognizing our own limitations. We are constantly both teachers and students of YOGA.
what we are not
OUR VALUES ı STUDIO MILE END
healers
We're not here to offer a program that will cure you or transform your life. This experience may happen, but it's yours and yours alone. Each path is unique. It's a practice that requires commitment, hard work and discipline. We are here to accompany and support you.
performance oriented
We are not a performance-oriented school. Above all, we believe in self-exploration at your own pace. The important thing is to listen to your body, your limits and your goals. If you feel like pushing yourself, go for it! But you do not have to in order to succeed in your training.
guruS
We're not a spiritual space. We explore, we discuss, we learn. But spirituality is above all personal and intimate. There are no gurus in our school.
OUR MISSION
12 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ı YOGA & PILATES AU SOL
Studio Mile End is a place where the practice of conscious movement, from yoga to Pilates, along with complimentary fitness modalities, aims to give you tools to support both a healthy body and mind. At the studio we strongly believe that moving, breathing and calming the hamster in each of our heads, is a natural and efficient way of elevating our energy levels, our feeling of joy and our ability to face daily stresses.
Our mission is to offer you a space, a practice, a challenge, a moment in your day that will serve to recharge and revitalize you. A place where we strive to offer practices that help you learn about movement and technique but also about yourself. Trust us when we say; your friends, your children, your colleagues and the planet will also feel the benefits.
We consider Studio Mile End to be a progressive space built on authenticity and compassion. Thus we commit to education, to questioning ourselves, to bringing awareness to privilege, to diverse representation in yoga and to building a safe space. We are committed to this daily and long term education and activism.
