Foundational Yoga Studies Hybrid YTT 200 Info Session I

Online | September 30, 5:00pm PDT

Join us for a live online information session to learn more about Mount Madonna’s upcoming Foundational Yoga Studies 200-Hour Hybrid Yoga Teacher Training program. Rooted in Classical Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed path) and Hatha Yoga (path of balance), this five-month program combines the connection and depth of in-person learning with the flexibility of live online study. Two immersive four-night modules on the Mount Madonna campus frame three live, four-day online modules, allowing time between sessions to integrate the teachings into your personal practice.

Guided by experienced faculty, you will explore foundational Yoga philosophy and practices, including pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (postures), and meditation, while developing the skills to teach a well-rounded beginner-level class. Upon completion, you will be eligible to apply for a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) credential with Yoga Alliance.

During the information session, there will be a brief presentation followed by an opportunity for Q & A with our team.

Whether you are interested in becoming a yoga teacher or looking to begin or deepen your personal practice, this introductory webinar will help you explore how the program can support your goals. We look forward to connecting with you!
