200hr. Yoga Teacher Training

10 Days In Person + Online Materials

Encinitas, California

February 1 - 10th 2027

Join Maureen DeLucia, E-RYT 500, YACEP, founder of Mangala Yoga and lead instructor, alongside Jade Rieves, Lead Teacher at Good Yoga San Diego and a Mangala Yoga Teacher Training graduate, for a transformational Yoga Alliance–approved teacher training.

Since 2011, Maureen DeLucia has guided hundreds of students through her internationally recognized 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, helping aspiring teachers deepen their practice, find their authentic voice, and confidently step into the role of a yoga instructor.

Joining her is Jade Rieves, who has been teaching yoga since 2014. As Lead Teacher at Good Yoga San Diego and a Mangala Yoga Teacher Training graduate, Jade brings a passion for intelligent movement, thoughtful sequencing, and compassionate instruction, creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment for every student.

Throughout the training, you'll immerse yourself in yoga philosophy, functional anatomy, the subtle body, pranayama, meditation, intelligent Vinyasa sequencing, purposeful cueing, and the art of teaching with confidence and authenticity.

This program is about far more than learning poses. You'll cultivate a deeper understanding of yoga, strengthen your personal practice, and gain practical teaching skills that prepare you to lead meaningful classes while embodying the principles of yoga in everyday life.

One of the hallmarks of this training is Mangala Yoga's signature Vinyasa methodology—a thoughtful and intelligent approach to sequencing that has helped make Mangala Yoga one of Maui and Telluride’s longest-running and most respected yoga communities.

By graduation, you'll have complete ready-to-teach class sequences, refined communication and cueing skills, hands-on teaching experience, and the confidence to lead safe, creative, and inspiring yoga classes.

Whether your goal is to teach professionally or simply deepen your understanding of yoga, this training will give you the knowledge, mentorship, and support to transform your practice—and your life.

Maureen DeLucia

Meet Maureen, the founder of Mangala Yoga, leads a dynamic life beyond the studio, embracing moments with her family and traveling extensively between New Jersey, Hawaii, and Colorado. Amidst these pursuits, she dedicates herself to crafting innovative trainings and programs.

Well-versed in various yoga styles, including Anusara, Iyengar, Power Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, and Restorative Yoga, Maureen's primary focus is on Vinyasa, named Jungle Flow and practiced in a non-heated space, as well as Lava Flow, practiced in an infrared heated yoga studio. Maureen’s background in massage, anatomy, and kinesiology has helped her develop Mangala Yoga’s teacher-training programs, workshops, and intensives.

Maureen completed her 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Vinyasa under the guidance of Janet Stone in San Francisco, CA, where Christopher Wallis, aka "Hareesh," shared profound teachings of Tantric Philosophy. This experience fueled Maureen's curiosity, prompting her to further explore tantric philosophy through continued study with Hareesh in the Bay Area.

Certified as an E-RYT 500 and YACEP teacher, Maureen is renowned for infusing humor into her teaching style, presenting well-balanced intelligent sequences set to lively music. As a teacher trainer, she seamlessly integrates various subjects, leaving students inspired and eager for more knowledge.

Jade Rieves

Jade Rieves is the Lead Teacher at Good Yoga San Diego and a proud graduate of Mangala Yoga's 200-Hour Teacher Training. Teaching since 2014, she brings the spirit of aloha from Hawaii to the Encinitas community, creating classes that inspire healing, self-discovery, and authentic connection.

Rooted in the heart of Bhakti Yoga, Jade's teaching is guided by devotion, compassion, and surrender. Her classes weave together conscious breath, Sanskrit chanting, mindful movement, and thoughtful self-inquiry, inviting students to explore the transformative power of connecting deeply with themselves.

Drawing from both traditional yogic wisdom and modern somatic practices, Jade skillfully blends nervous system awareness, pranayama, and intelligent Vinyasa sequencing into an experience that is both grounding and empowering. She encourages students of all levels to move with intention, trust their body's innate wisdom, and cultivate greater presence on and off the mat.

Jade creates a warm, inclusive space where every student feels supported, seen, and inspired to grow. Her classes foster self-compassion, curiosity, and a deep reverence for the unique journey that yoga offers.
