Who We Are

The International Art of Living Centre is located on over 250 acres of wooded land in the beautiful Mauricie region of Quebec, between Montreal and Quebec City.  Here one is transported from the rush, chaos and chatter of daily life to a space of natural beauty and silence to rest, relax, and be refreshed.

We have a large array of programs for adults, and for children as young as three, teens, and young adults.  Register for one of our many courses in yoga, breathing, and meditation, or rent our facilities for a group event, workshop, or vacation retreat.

Whatever you choose, supplement your stay by having Ayurvedic treatments, discovering how to nourish and pamper your skin through our Shankara program, or learning how Ayurvedic herbs can transform your life.

We serve delicious, organic, vegetarian cuisine, buying locally and working with local distributors to get fresh produce.  In the summer, many of the vegetables we use come from our organic gardens. If you have special needs – a wheat free diet or a lactose intolerance, for example - we prepare food especially for you!


You can join one of our volunteer or internship programs, or get a “taste” of our programs by attending an Open House or a Week-end of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation. 

Come and experience the possibilities. Come to a place that gives you the space to appreciate the joy and silence that you are. Come home to the International Art of Living Centre – Canada.
