Where are you located?
Mount Madonna Institute is located on 355 acres of mountaintop redwood forest and grassland overlooking Monterey Bay, between Santa Cruz and Monterey, in Northern California. About 45 minutes from Santa Cruz, 30 minutes from Watsonville or Gilroy, 75 minutes from San Jose and 2 hours from San Francisco and Oakland.
What are the different levels of Ayurveda training programs offered?
We have three levels of training including, Āyurvedic Health Counselor (12 months), Certificate – Āyurvedic Practitioner, and Master of Arts – Āyurveda.
What is Classical Ashtanga Yoga?
Classically, Aṣhṭānga Yoga means Eight-limbed Yoga. Our Yoga Teacher Training programs address each limb and will teach asanas from the Hatha Yoga system as shared with us by our teacher, Baba Hari Dass. We wish to be clear that we do not teach a contemporary method of āsana that has come to be known as "Aṣhṭānga" or "Power Yoga".
Are there any career opportunities at Mount Madonna Institute?
Mount Madonna Institute will occasionally have openings for additional faculty or administration. Such openings will be posted on our Opportunities page.
