“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.”

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, Rod Stryker 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 question-and-answer sessions in real-time.

Accessible Training Schedule
The course format is one weekend a month for 15 months, for a total of 280 hours of instruction. Flexible format – study online or in-person!

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.
Treat yourself to a transcendent experience that will change the way you see yourself and will supercharge your gifts as a teacher.
