Welcome! I’m Madison, yogi, author, poet, mother, and spiritual teacher. I took my first-ever yoga class to help rehab after knee surgery when I was 19. I came looking for physical healing and found a spiritual, holistic world that altered the entire course of my life. I ditched my corporate-planned future after college and started my own business as an intuitive healer, psychic reader, and yoga teacher.
Yoga opened up a door to a world where I was able to discover my true self and make space for deep healing. Yoga has been a cornerstone throughout my entire life. If I can bring one ounce of the joy and transformation that yoga has brought to my life, to you, then I consider my job well done. I have been teaching yoga for the past 10 years and it continues to bring new levels of growth to my life every day.
Yoga is a holistic practice and is so much more than just a workout for the body (also called asana). Yoga is meditation, breathwork, spiritual-self discovery, and so much more. Yoga is a comprehensive melding of healing tools for the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of the body. Yoga is illumined living.

Madison is a wonderful, thorough, yoga instructor. Although I have taken yoga classes numerous times, each time with Madison I learn something new. She is really great at making sure her students use correct form, and to do poses slowly to improve balance. I highly recommend Madison, and especially enjoy her spiritual sayings at the end of each session.

Madison does a great job supporting each individual in their practice and helping them get where they want to go. She makes everyone feel comfortable enough to get out of that comfort zone AND manages to weave in some life lessons here and there.

It’s good for the soul. Madison is very intuitive, sensitive, and all around a great yoga instructor!
