Mount Madonna Center & Institute
About Mount Madonna Center & Institute
At the heart of Mount Madonna is the study, practice and teaching of Yoga. For over 40 years our community has embraced this tradition as we seek to incorporate the practices and truths into our daily life. We offer these practices with the intent of promoting self-transformation for us all. We offer Yoga retreats, established Yoga Teacher Training programs, as well as weekend Yoga Workshops. We offer our signature 200 and 300 hour Teacher Trainings. We cover a broad range of yoga theory, philosophy, and practice. Classically, Ashtanga Yoga means eight-limbed Yoga (ashta meaning eight, and anga meaning limb.) We address each limb and teach asana, pranayama and shat karma from the Hatha Yoga system (referenced in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gherand Samita, and other Hatha yoga texts). The practices are taught classically as shared with us by our teacher, Sri Baba Hari Dass. Many of our faculty members have been practicing, studying, and teaching yoga at Mount Madonna Center for over 40 years.

This is one of the most authentic trainings available in the United States! Highly recommend for those who are serious about the Yogic path and developing their spiritual practice :)
Mount Madonna is an incredible program guided by a cohort of lifelong committed yogis on a land and in community suffused with a devoted history to yogic philosophy, practice, and living, anchored by the teachings of an incredibly accomplished teacher, Baba Hari Dass.
