THE FACULTY. TEAM. SUPPORT
Our faculty is carefully handpicked, not only for their knowledge and credentials, but for their dedication to living the teachings they share. Every trainer brings a minimum of 1,000 hours of teaching experience, while our lead trainers possess over 5,000 hours of teaching and training experience. Together, they provide exceptional mentorship grounded in decades of study, practice, and service. Our curriculum goes far beyond postures. Students embark on a deep exploration of yogic philosophy, history, ethics, anatomy, meditation, pranayama, and conscious living. We believe yoga is not simply something we do, it is a way of being. It is a lifelong practice, a path of self-discovery, and a commitment to living with greater awareness, compassion, and purpose. At Markham Yoga, these are not just words. They are the values we embody, the standards we uphold, and the teachings we passionately share. We stand behind our motto: The Pure Heart of Yoga. |
