Testimonials

  • "You can tell just how much effort Maddy puts into leading each and every class from the moment you enter the studio. Her practice is lead with confidence and calmness, making the classes accessible and easy to follow. Maddy ensures a space in which everyone is made to feel comfortable, actively catering to the needs of the class. Specifically, she has accommodated my post-surgery wrist injury in a way that is truly above and beyond. Maddy is an excellent teacher and I would highly encourage anyone seeking fitness, wellness or balance to attend a class."

  • "Maddy created a beautiful short practice for me when I was experiencing extreme stress and burnout. Just 5 poses, with directed breathwork, that focused on stretching muscles that were tight after sitting at my desk for too long as well as resetting my nervous system throughout the day. It was the perfect, personalised and achievable practice I was able to integrate into my busy work from home, study and mum life. Maddy has a beautiful way of connecting deeply to the needs of each of her students, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly if you are looking for an authentic, grounded and deeply caring yoga teacher."

  • "I have been going to Maddy's classes at The Yoga Institute for a year now. She is a magnificent teacher. She simplifies the poses with care and makes sure everyone is comfortable and safe during her class.

  • "I met Maddy while completing the practical components of my yoga teacher training, and from the moment I met her, I was deeply inspired by her passion for yoga, her kind and caring nature, and her remarkable ability to create inclusive classes that cater to people with varying needs and abilities within the one space. Maddy generously gave her own time to support me and my classmates each weekend, helping us succeed in our practical assessments. Beyond what was ever expected of her, she consistently went out of her way to offer guidance, encouragement, and thoughtful tips. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Maddy so early in my teaching journey. She is a truly beautiful person, and this is clearly reflected in her teaching. Maddy has a rare ability to make every class feel personal and supportive — almost like a private lesson — even when you are part of a full group."
