Yoga & Ayurveda: The Essentials
Online February 29 - March 3, 2024
Dive deep into three days of yoga theory and practice as viewed through the lens of Ayurveda.
Drawing from Patanjali’s Ashtanga (eight-limbed) Yoga System and the practices of Hatha Yoga, you will learn foundational practices of pranayama, mudra, shat karma and meditation as well as basic philosophy and theory of both Yoga and Ayurveda as taught by Baba Hari Dass. This compact introduction is ideal for serious students who want to augment their knowledge and practice.
This program is a requirement for anyone whose YTT 200 certificate is not from Mount Madonna and plans to take either the Advanced Yoga Studies (YTT 300) or the Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy program.
