Study Yoga at The Source
At Mount Madonna School of Yoga, we have been training yoga teachers for nearly 50 years. Our signature Foundational Yoga Studies, Yoga Teacher Training 200 Hours and Advanced Yoga Studies Yoga Teacher Training 300 Hours are approved by the national yoga registry, the Yoga Alliance, and are led by an extensive faculty; many of whom have been practicing, studying, and teaching yoga at Mount Madonna in California for almost half a century. Our Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy program is certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and recognized by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA).
Join an ancient lineage and wisdom tradition which covers a broad range of yoga theory, philosophy, and practice, with particular emphasis on the traditional Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed path) system as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
