Register for this program

Join us for this intensive extended weekend of introductory yoga theory and practice.  This program began as a “bridge” for people who completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training somewhere other than Mount Madonna Center, but wished to take the 500-hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training here. It has expanded to include anyone who would like to receive the teachings in a condensed format. It might be of special interest to current Yoga Teachers who have not been teaching pranayama (breathing practices) and meditation, but feel ready to do so. We will cover beginning level pranayama as well as theory classes in yoga philosophy, pranayama, subtle body theory, yoga sutras, meditation, sanskrit and ayurveda.

This intensive qualifies as an elective for the YTT 500-hour program (for which you must be registered) or you can get Continuing Education Credits. If you have completed a YTT 200-hour certification somewhere other than at Mount Madonna program, and would like to apply to our YTT 500, please email ytt@mountmadonna.org as a prerequisite for signing up for this class.

  • Continuing Education Credit for nurses.
  • Fulfills the spiritual practice prerequisite for John F. Kennedy University's Graduate School for Holistic Studies.
  • Qualifies for YTT 500. You must apply to the YTT 500 program before taking this class for credit.

This program is taught by Mount Madonna Center's Senior Yoga Teaching Staff.
