Welcome
My name is Pascale Bouchard, and I am a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I offer virtual private yoga therapy sessions for adults, adolescents, and kids, tailoring each session to your unique needs. With extensive training in yoga and yoga therapy, a background in medical sciences, and professional experience in Reiki and hypnosis, my approach is both evidence-informed and deeply intuitive. Each session is a space for self-exploration, designed to help you reconnect with yourself and feel at peace.
My Story
I have over 600 hours of yoga teacher training in Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, Pre and Postnatal, and Yoga Nidra, and I am currently completing an 800-hour Yoga Therapy training with Helene Couvrette at HOM Yoga Therapy Centre. This in-depth program covers anatomy and physiology, psychology and mental health, Ayurveda, yoga philosophy, and specialized therapeutic applications for conditions like cancer care, pelvic health, and emotional well-being. It also includes hands-on training in therapeutic relationships, client education, and working with groups—all designed to equip yoga therapists with the skills to support a wide range of physical and mental health concerns.
​
My path to yoga therapy has been anything but linear. I have a Bachelor of Science from Baylor University in Texas and initially pursued a career in medical sciences. I discovered yoga while completing a research master’s degree in Pharmacogenomics at the Institute of Research in Cancer and Immunology (IRIC) with the University of Montreal. Before that, I worked in medical clinics, preclinical research institutions, and clinical research settings, driven by a passion for medicine and health.
​
The research itself was fascinating, but I missed working directly with people and exploring alternative approaches to health. This curiosity led me to enroll in my first 200-hour yoga teacher training, which set me on a path of continuous learning and self-discovery.
​
Since 2022, I’ve been teaching yoga in community centers, schools, studios, online, and privately. In 2023, I began working one-on-one with clients, initially focusing on prenatal yoga. Today, I teach yoga to children in a primary school in Pointe-Saint-Charles. My background in medical sciences allows me to take a grounded, practical approach to yoga therapy, while my professional experience in hypnosis and Reiki deepens my ability to intuitively meet each client where they are.
​
Yoga has been a transformative practice in my life, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share it. It would be a pleasure to meet you and discuss how yoga therapy could be of support to you at this time.
