MADISON HOOPER

200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher

In one of the darkest times of my life, I was gifted a yoga mat. Always having battled depression and anxiety I went to try it out - not knowing what I was getting into. Like most, I assumed it was just stretching and breathing, but when I arrived I was introduced to the practice that ultimately saved my life.

I didn’t remember one thing from the rigorous class, but for the first time in a long time, laying there on my mat, I felt hope.

I wanted more. So I went to donation based classes when I had the money to donate and I would remember postures to create my own flows at home. It became a daily practice, and something I always fell back on to ground myself when things got tough.

I became naturally curious about the philosophy and began to study the Yamas and Niyamas. For 4 years, I studied yoga through books before finally making the jump to dive deeper - I went into 200hr training with desire to learn and desire to give back what yoga has given me.

I take the responsibility of passing down these ancient teachings with high regard and my commitment to my own practice brings authenticity and dedication to my teaching.

My intention is to bring hope and strength to others struggling - through building a deeper awareness of the body, mind and soul.
