A CURRICULUM WITH A LINEAGE

An in-depth training based on the traditions of the Himalayan Masters and the teachings of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Mukunda Stiles, Sally Kempton and the California College of Ayurveda.

FOCUSED & INTIMATE CLASS SIZE

Smaller class size means personal and meaningful connection with your instructors and fellow students. In addition, an intimate setting creates space for lively and informative conversations and Q&A sessions in real time.

ACCESSIBLE TRAINING SCHEDULE

Weekly online lectures, practices, live Q&A and hot seat calls.

A very special weekend retreat (Module 5).

Comprehensive modular program that sets you up for integration and success.

EXPERIENCED TEAM OF TEACHERS

René and her team distill a vast breadth of information with love, joy and humor. They translate yogic concepts in a way that’s fun, relatable and easy to understand.

UNPARALLELED EDUCATION

While many yoga teacher training programs seek to meet Yoga Alliance standards, few actually provide the mentoring time and attention that will help you move from teacher to master teacher. Yoga Madre’s 300-hour program not only meets all the requirements, but it also goes beyond them!

A STRONG COMMUNITY

Become a part of the Yoga Madre family! Connect with like-minded people in a sangha that will support you on your path.

“I have been teaching Yoga since 2001 and took the Yoga Madre 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training 2020/2021. I was touched not only by the profound knowledge and teachings of René Quenell but also by her loving and inspiring guidance. The training opened a whole new understanding of yoga and myself, and I am thrilled to follow these teachings and Yoga Madre into the future. It’s a truly transforming experience.”
