ABOUT US
Markham Yoga was founded to make the transformative study of yoga welcoming, practical and accessible. For more than 10 years, we have offered authentic teacher education rooted in classical tradition and enriched by thoughtful approaches to movement, alignment and functional practice. Having guided more than 1,000 students, we know that becoming a teacher requires more than learning poses or memorizing cues. Our students explore movement, breath, philosophy and self-awareness while developing the practical skills to teach real people with confidence, clarity and care. You are welcomed into a community of seasoned educators, guest faculty and fellow students who are deeply committed to your growth. This is not simply a course or certification. It is a place to study deeply, practise honestly and become a knowledgeable, capable and authentic teacher. |

OUR PHILOSOPHY
For the last 10 years, we’ve been teaching yoga beyond the poses — with depth, tradition and teachers who have spent years living what they teach. Yoga Alliance offers a standard outline of what a typical yoga teacher should look like, but it misses the real education of yoga, and lacks the substance that teachers need today. Our philosophy and style of teaching takes you beyond the poses, beyond the mat, to a place where yoga really is experienced, through the unity of mental, physical, and your inner spirit. Here, you find those ah-ha moments.
Yoga is not just memorizing poses with the coolest playlist, but to share an experience of yoga that journeys your students through each posture that allows you to really connect and feel amazing when you leave.
Students come here to understand the why behind yoga, explore classical Hatha, move with greater intention and learn from seasoned educators. This is what we believe and why we are the best classical yoga school since 2016 in the GTA.
We not only teach you how to cue, teach and class plan, but you leave with ready-to-teach sequences that have been curated for you to launch your career as a teacher or to practice at home, and you will have the tools and knowledge how to teach this safely, supporting your clients because this is where teachers shine - through knowledge and experience.
Whether you’re here to become a teacher or simply want to know yoga more deeply, you’ve found a place to truly study it.
Come curious. Leave knowing more.

OWNER AND FOUNDER
Hi, my name is Sophia! I am the yoga director of Markham Yoga. That sounds too bougie for me, let's say I manage and offer the trainings, that's far more humbling to me. I am thrilled that you are here, and if you are reading this, it means you are passionate about the magic of yoga as I am! Markham Yoga is an extension of my heart's yearning, a place where curiosity meets content, where alignment softly settles not only in our physical form of asanas, also in our souls. During your course, you will be guided by a team of seasoned experts in a progressive and step by step understanding of yoga, all of whom I hand selected to share the teachings of yoga, whom I know you will all love as much as I do. I invite you to join our incredible community of like minded individuals as we deep dive into the science, mystery and wisdom of the yoga tradition. From My Heart To Yours Sophia XO |
