Hi, I'm Sadaf!
My yoga journey began in 2016 as a way to manage anxiety and bring peace to both my mind and body. After seven years as an engineer at Bombardier, I lost my job during the pandemic—an experience that, like for so many others, reshaped my path. It was the turning point I needed to finally pursue my dream of opening a yoga studio.
I’m incredibly proud to be the founder of the Reformer Pilates section at IAM Studio, where yoga and Pilates have become my sanctuary, places of deep connection and healing. As a studio owner, my passion for movement fuels me every single day. Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, or cycling, I’m dedicated to guiding others toward stillness, healing, and physical wellness.
My mission is simple: to help others quiet their minds, heal their hearts, and reconnect with their bodies. I’m deeply honored to be part of your wellness journey!

Hi, I'm Satori!
I have a deep appreciation for movement. Growing up, physical activity was not important. I was into books, writing, getting creative and not moving. My first yoga class was 10 years ago; my friend invited me to IAM Yoga on a 2 week trial. After my first class, I was HOOKED. It quickly became a part of my daily routine, and I made it a habit to be a part of the studio and its atmosphere. Yoga (and IAM) has seen me through many phases of life, and I am happy to say that it's brought me on some beautiful journeys as well.
In 2018, I did my YTT at IAM, and it gave me my voice. Yoga cured my chronic asthma, made me feel the best I've ever felt and helped me navigate the world differently. It opened me up to a world of breath work, meditation, holistic health, and so much more. Whenever I'm lost, I find myself on the mat, and I'm forever grateful for that.
While I may not have become a yoga teacher, I certainly did become an entrepreneur, and I now own my own that works primarily with holistic businesses. It's given me the freedom to travel, build a camper van and create the life I want! Say hi if you see me around the studio!

Hi, I'm Hassan!
I was first convinced to join a friend for a yoga class over 12 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Struggling with chronic back and sleep issues for as long as I can remember, I quickly felt the benefits of yoga and found much-needed relief. After years of a nearly daily practice, I decided to take my commitment to the next level and completed a 200-hour CYA certified teacher training in 2013. Since then, I've stayed dedicated to both teaching and practicing.
I take a direct approach to physical practice, focusing on balance and control within movement. I challenge the body while encouraging steadiness of breath and intention. My goal is to create a space where each student can progress at their own pace, exploring new abilities through a mix of strength-building and playful elements.
I look forward to guiding you on your own yoga journey!

Hi, I'm Teri-Ann!
I’m a Vinyasa-based yoga teacher, and my journey started when I received my Hatha teaching certification at the Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja, Mexico. After that, I travelled to India, Bali, Thailand, and the UK to deepen my practice and expand my teaching knowledge.
In my classes, I encourage you to focus on your own journey—wherever it begins—and to stay fully present in your practice. My goal is to create a space where spirituality and movement come together, allowing you to connect to your inner flow. I’ve also had the privilege of studying Kundalini and Sivananda-based lineages, which bring even more depth to my teaching. I can’t wait to practice with you!

Hi, I'm Tracy!
Back in 2009, I was looking for a way to de-stress from a busy life when I stumbled into my first yoga class, and I was hooked. The discipline and the positive effects on my mind and body kept me coming back. Then, in 2014, I met my teacher, Emma O’Neill, at Mysore Toronto. Under her guidance, I’ve deepened my understanding of asana, yoga principles, meditation, and mindful movement.
I completed a two-year Ashtanga yoga apprenticeship at Mysore Toronto and became a registered teacher after finishing my 200-hour training in 2018. Teaching yoga has become a true passion of mine. I love building community, sharing my practice, and learning every day from my mat. My goal is to create inspiring, accessible classes where students can connect with their bodies and cultivate a calm, focused mind.

Hi, I'm Sheldon!
I'm one of Toronto’s most sought-after yoga instructors, known for my challenging classes, creativity, and deep commitment to both the practice and teaching of yoga. A natural-born athlete, I came to yoga with a rebellious and playful energy. My passion for cycling and childhood experience in competitive gymnastics naturally led me to Ashtanga yoga, and I committed to the practice in 2007.
Ashtanga’s rhythmic breathing, challenging vinyasa, and meditative quality had a profound effect on me, helping me focus and connect to a deeper place within myself. I continue my daily practice in the tradition of Sri K Pattabhi Jois, R. Sharath Jois, and R. Saraswati Jois.
In my classes, I teach vigorous and dynamic Vinyasa flows that build strength and increase flexibility. I encourage my students to push the boundaries of their own limitations and experience the transformative power of yoga.

Hi, I'm Elsbeth!
Yoga has been part of my life for over 10 years, and I love creating classes where every participant can take a breath, move beyond their boundaries, and sweat it out. But what I truly believe is at the heart of yoga is the perfect harmony of strength, flexibility, relaxation, and mindfulness—for your body, mind, and spirit.
I completed my 200-hour training with IAM Yoga in Toronto in 2016, and I’ve been teaching ever since. I’m constantly learning and have expanded my expertise with certifications in yin, restorative, meditation, youth, mental health, and trauma-informed yoga.
In my classes, you’ll find creative sequences and plenty of options for all levels. My hope is that you leave feeling refreshed, nurtured, and balanced. Can’t wait to see you on the mat!

Hi, I'm Nicole!
I started my yoga journey at 17, completing my first teacher training, and by 19, I did another one. While studying for my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Montreal, I taught yoga throughout University. When the pandemic hit, I shifted to teaching full-time online and eventually returned to studio classes. It was during this time that I also fell in love with Acro Yoga and became involved in the Acro Yoga community in Montreal, Vancouver, and now Toronto.
For me, teaching yoga is about connection, creativity, and supporting both physical and mental health. I believe that through conscious breath and intuitive yet challenging movement, we can reconnect with our truest selves and each other.
My teaching is often described as “fair.” I will gently challenge you to step out of your comfort zone while honoring the importance of rest and self-compassion.

Hi, I'm Lyndsey!
My journey with yoga began in the late 1990s, and what started as a love for the physical benefits of asana quickly transformed into a deep appreciation for the truly transformational aspects of the practice. In 2010, I completed my first teacher training, and that experience laid the foundation for my commitment to sharing yoga with others—those who, like me, are eager to discover the magic of yoga.
As both a devoted student and teacher, I have a special interest in the meditative and philosophical aspects of yoga. My classes are typically challenging but always infused with kindness. I aim to blend strength, breath, and movement, facilitating positive energy flow and creating space—both internally and externally.

Hi, I'm Vernon!
I'm an experienced practice flourished upon completing my 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2018. Since then, I've immersed myself in the many teachings of yoga and yoga philosophy.
As a lifelong learner, I'm ever-growing – a feat you’ll find reflected in my teachings. Energetic and strong, each class is a breath of fresh air sure to align your day and mood. I approach my classes with a calm voice that fluidly guides the body through each posture while maintaining a meditative atmosphere.
I'm a strong believer in the perpetuity of yoga – it is, after all, an ongoing journey. And it is much better to endeavour that journey with a teacher whose excitement for growth matches that of your own!

Hi, I'm Lisa!
I felt an immediate connection to yoga the first time I practiced over 15 years ago. Initially drawn to it for the physical health benefits, I soon experienced the profound impact it had on reducing stress and anxiety. Over time, my connection to yoga deepened, and I began to truly understand the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
Knowing it was time to deepen my relationship with yoga, I completed my 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with IAM Yoga in 2017, and later pursued an 8-hour “Intro to Restorative Yoga” certification. I also continue to study Yoga Philosophy with Hali Schwartz.
I'm passionate about learning and growing in my own practice and sharing that knowledge with others. I teach Classic, Hatha, Flow, and Restorative styles, incorporating elements of gentleness and play, while staying rooted in the core principles of yoga. I look forward to sharing this journey with you!

Hi, I'm Tammy!
During my very first yoga class, I remember thinking, *‘I’d really like to teach yoga someday.’* From that moment on, I committed to a daily practice. Yoga quickly became more than just a hobby—it turned into a lifestyle that I can’t imagine living without.
I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at IAM Studio, and now I’m so excited to share my passion with others. My goal is to help you connect your mind, body, and breath through movement. In my classes, it’s not about how yoga looks, it’s about how it feels. I truly believe that yoga has something to offer everyone, and I hope to create a welcoming space where you can find freedom in both your mind and body.

Hi, I'm Sepi!
I’m a graphic designer and Ashtanga yoga teacher with a mission to make yoga accessible to everyone. My yoga journey began as a complement to my love for rock climbing—I initially saw it as a great warm-up. But what I discovered on the mat was far more profound: a deep sense of peace and joy.
After completing my Ashtanga yoga teacher training in 2023, I’ve been dedicated to breaking down the barriers that prevent people from experiencing yoga’s transformative power. In my classes, I blend the dynamic and structured elements of Ashtanga with accessible vinyasa flows. I emphasize breath with each movement, helping my students redirect their focus inward and create space within their bodies.

Hi, I'm Cola!
After almost a decade of practicing yoga, I felt called to deepen my journey and completed my RYT-200 training at IAM Studio. Since then, I’ve been exploring the transformative power of yoga not just on the mat, but in everyday life as well.
My classes are gentle yet challenging, structured yet intuitive, honoring the balance between physical effort and mental well-being. As a highly sensitive person living in a busy city, I’ve found my anchor through daily intentional practice. For me, linking breath with movement brings a sense of calm and consistency that’s truly grounding.
I believe yoga is one of the kindest gifts you can give to yourself and the world. I’m passionate about helping others create space and ease in their lives while building a supportive and connected community. I can’t wait to share this practice with you!

Hi, I'm Angela!
I discovered yoga in 2009 when I finally let my roommate drag me to her first class. I immediately connected with the physical practice and was overcome with acute nostalgia for my days as a gymnast.
The connection of that movement with my breath and mind was what really pulled me in. It became therapeutic; I felt lighter, more balanced, and more connected.
Since completing my teacher training, I've dedicated my life to learning and teaching yoga. My good-humoured personality and knowledge of human anatomy provide students with challenging classes focused on proper alignment where they can have a good time in the process. I love music and always brings an eclectic playlist to class. Above all, I hopes to bring you lightness, more balance, and connection.

Hi, I'm Andy!
There’s something so special about discovering the powerful connection between the mind, body, and breath. My own yoga journey began while I was working in Thailand as a primary school teacher. I experienced the incredible benefits of yoga firsthand and even started incorporating elements of it into the classroom. Eventually, I knew I wanted to fully dedicate myself to teaching yoga and sharing its transformative power.
I’m beyond excited to join the IAM community! My goal is to guide you in using yoga as a tool to deeply connect with yourself and better understand your body—both on and off the mat. In my classes, you’ll find a safe, inclusive space where we can play, explore, stay curious, and grow together. I can’t wait to practice with you!

Hi, I'm Danea!
I fell in love with the practice of yoga asana after taking my first class in 2012. After five years of practice, I took the leap into teacher training in 2016- I’ve been teaching ever since and currently lead classes across the GTA.
My aim with each class is to present students with sequences that focus on building foundation, strength, and confidence to foster a deeper connection to the physical and intuitive body.

Hi, I'm Karah!
Growing up playing hockey and other sports, movement has always been a huge part of my life. These days, Pilates has become my go-to outlet—a space where I can truly feel like myself.
I’m trained in STOTT Pilates on the reformer, which gives me a solid foundation in classical techniques.
When I teach, I like to blend those traditional moves with a modern twist, always keeping things purposeful and engaging. My focus is on helping you understand the “why” behind the movements while strengthening that all-important mind-body connection. Let’s move with intention and have some fun along the way!

Hi, I'm Maleia!
Movement has always been a cornerstone of my life, from strength training to aerial hoop. I discovered Pilates during an aerial retreat, training with a retired circus artist turned Pilates instructor. Their focus on anatomy and movement pathways deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and left me inspired.
Incorporating Pilates into my routine transformed my practice, improving core strength, mobility, flexibility, and body awareness. These benefits positively impacted everything I do, from acro yoga to HIIT. Inspired by this growth, I completed my Mat and Reformer certifications through STOTT Pilates. My goal is to help you find joy in movement and feel strong, confident, and deeply connected to your body. Let’s move together!
