Private Yoga / Somatic Movement Studio

I've had on and off problems with my lower back and hips for a while. Madi has been unbelievable accommodating and giving with her knowledge and the practice she has honed over her lifetime of dedication to her craft. Her insights into Somatics and Yoga has given me a greater understanding of my own body putting me on a path to long term solutions for issues from their core rather than treating symptoms. Learning to listen to my body and connect with it on a higher level would not have been possible without consultation and time in Madi's sessions.

I highly recommend Somatic movement classes at this Private Yoga Studio. My range of motion and body awareness has improved from these classes. The classes focus on gentle movement and led with a focus on self-acceptance. Madi is a gifted instructor.

I would recommend anyone with physical ailments to try Somatics.I started practicing Somatics movements with Madi this year. I've actually been going to madis yoga classes for over 5 years now. Being introduced to a new style of movement has really helped expand my understanding of my own body.Somatics has helped me move parts of my body and be aware of muscles that I don't think I've engaged in a long time. I find the classes more challenging than a yoga class, and I think that's because we are forced to slow down and move parts of our body that we haven't used in a long time. I've had times in class where it will take a few minutes to perform the movement properly, just because my brain isn't used to moving that way. By the end of the class though I feel amazing. I usually feel much lighter, more balanced when standing and so calm.My lower back pain has also been relieved from these Somatic Movements. Sitting hunched all day has put strain on my back. But through somatics I've been able to open up more and reduce strain and pressure on the lower back.

I suffer from chronic back pain from a torn L4 L5 disk. I was able get into the Somatics training with Madison over the last few weeks and found several things.This was something that I have never done as most of my training is pushing heavy, or running long distances.Madison’s classes made me focus on muscles my body had forgotten and even some tiny movements were really difficult.Not only did the class make me slow down, focus on my breath, and my body, but also forced me to allow my body and my mind the freedom to move in ways that I don’t ever move.After ever class I felt amazing. And this was all done virtually, where Madison did an amazing job at walking me through and helping me every step of the way.I have since incorporated movements form her class into my everyday warm up as it helps my back and surrounding muscles remember that they need attention too.Madison is clam, soothing, loving and fun to be around in her class. I felt completely at ease despite doing the class surrounded by my kids toys in our basement.She is great guide and a calming soul. I loved her classes. Thank again Madi!

Love Madi’s classes. I was attending her class with Motion but once the gym closed I did hunt her down so I could continue with her yoga classes.

I was relatively inexperienced with yoga, but Madi proved to be an amazing and understanding instructor. Madi's presence is incredibly motivational and calming at the same time. Wonderful yoga practice.

Madi is a gentle professional. Through her classes I finally understood the benefits of moving with my breath. She encourages mindfulness to assist each of us to get the most from our practice in supportive authentic environment. By sharing her enthusiasm, patience and love of yoga, Madi is a fantastic teacher.Yoga is a gift we give our body, Madi is a gift to yoga.

Madi is a fantastic teacher and a genuinely lovely person. She's very observant of her students and considers their individual needs. She creates a atmosphere where you can feel grounded and turn your attention inward through the practice of yoga

I’ve been practicing yoga for 10+ years and Madi is my all-time favourite teacher. I initially got hooked on her outdoor summer classes but her studio space is also incredible. She goes above and beyond to make each class special, with carefully curated playlists, twinkly lights, candles, essential oils, singing bowls, blankets, eye pillows, the list goes on. She is really attentive to the individual needs and abilities of each student and will suss out energy levels and desires at the beginning of class to give you just the kind of yoga experience you need ♥️
