What the classes are
Nearly all of these classes are yoga, and nearly all of them are marked strong and experienced. The core of the collection is Ashtanga and Mysore style, where students move through a set sequence at their own pace, with the facilitator guiding each person individually. Classes run for about two hours, which makes them a substantial start to the day.
A smaller share of the classes is Pilates, mostly reformer and mat work with a focus on the core and pelvic floor. These are shorter, at 50 minutes, and they give a different kind of strength work before the day begins.
Where and when they run
Cocon Yoga in Les Girondins and The Routine Pilates in Saint-Amour lead the collection. Dozens of classes are offered across a handful of studios and a handful of facilitators, including Elise Grosjean, Eden Meunier and Nolwenn Jourda, who lead the most classes in this set.
The early start is the defining feature. Classes begin as early as 6:30am and as late as 7:30am, and none run at midday, in the evening or on weekends. Most people who take these classes practice on weekdays, with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the busiest days.
