INSTITUTE
Enhance Your Understanding of Yoga
at Mount Madonna, California
Mount Madonna’s online Yoga Teacher Training 200 Hours is designed to expand your knowledge of the theory and practices of Classical Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed path). Guided and supported by a faculty of over 30 teachers, the 200-hour level training serves to systematically develop and enhance your understanding of yoga.
You will develop skills for teaching a well-rounded beginner-level yoga class. This course is ideal for those looking to start or deepen their personal practice. Advanced techniques and theories are explored in many of our specialty classes.
Our 200-hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Online (YTT 200) focuses primarily on the systems of Ashtanga Yoga and Hatha Yoga (path of balance) and the methods we teach include shat karma (purification methods), mudra (symbolic gestures), pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (postures), and meditation. The foundational theory that supports these practices is taught in classes on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Samkhya Philosophy, basic principles of Ayurveda, subtle body theory, anatomy, and physiology. Teaching methodology, or how to share this ancient knowledge, is woven throughout the program.
The online training allows you a three-week integration time between each session. You will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned and ask questions based on your experiences. The training also includes a mid-month check-in dedicated to integrating the material. With great dedication to the material and extensive practical experiences, we deliver engaging content in a dynamic, in-person online format. After all, Yoga tells us that we are all united in akash (space), the first of the five elements.
Mount Madonna Institute has been a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance since 2002.
