The Yoga Sanctuary is one of the most prestigious yoga studios and teacher training schools in Ontario (and Canada). With two locations in Toronto, the company offers 250-hour classes, 300-hour classes, and continuing education courses to expand people’s knowledge of yoga. Continuing education classes offer Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Adaptation Yoga, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Yoga for Kids, and Hypnotic Meditation.

What we like: Yoga Sanctuary started offering teacher training classes in 2001 and in 2008 became the first institution in Ontario to become a “Certified Private Educational Institution.” Their long history of leading teacher education programs and highly qualified faculty make it a premium product for those looking to get the most out of their certification program.
