for
ADULTS
"Maddy has been leading yoga sessions for team members at the Australian School of Performing Arts since late 2018. We’ve moved from yoga in the park to live-streamed yoga and Maddy has adapted with ease. We appreciate her expertise and enjoy the variety she offers week in and week out. It’s a joy to start the workday in a wellbeing session that encourages us to reflect, prepare, stretch and strengthen. Maddy gives clear instructions and makes it possible for new people to feel safe while regulars feel challenged. I absolutely recommend Maddy as an experienced, charming and calming instructor. We love her!"

"My daughter and I have been doing yoga with Maddy for over 3 years now. We love it. The practice keeps us grounded, Maddie knows how to offer varying degrees of difficulty during the class so you can follow your own lead without any pressure and I have the best night sleep of the week after my Wednesday yoga. With a full-on job and looking after a teenager in Year 12 I can honestly say that yoga has kept us calm, sane and flexible! "

"I entered into my first reiki session with Maddy with no expectations, and the experience was better than I could have imagined. I could feel the change within myself occurring during and after the session.Maddy uses her nurturing presence and spiritual insight to guide you through a gentle unblock of your energy flow. The result for me was at first emotional, but then later a general feeling of better well being and stronger connection with my own energy. This experience has been amazing for me and would definitely recommend Maddy- her kindness and spiritual wisdom creates a safe space to heal. "

"I have had Maddy as my yoga teacher for 3 years now and our Tuesday night classes are always wonderful! I love practicing yoga each week as it gives me an opportunity to connect with my breath and move and strengthen my body mindfully. Maddy’s classes are a perfect balance of exploring new techniques and poses and returning to familiar techniques and poses to deepen my practice."

SESSIONS
"For quite some time I’ve experienced periods of insomnia, and earlier this year it got particularly difficult to deal with. I went to Maddy for a 1:1 tarot card reading and soul counselling to get some understanding as to why I couldn’t solve this. Maddy was able to prompt me to reflect on parts of my life that I hadn’t healed from and how to nurture myself so I wasn’t giving my power away in relationships that was leading to feelings of helplessness and emotional despair. Maddy truly has a gift in being able to read people and she was able point me in the right direction with my healing. I now feel so much more at peace with what is going on around me, and my sleep has improved dramatically. I can’t thank Maddy enough for her guidance and helping me connect parts of my life together."
– KIREN –
"I've known Maddy for just over 3 years, and have been lucky to have her as a mentor for my yoga practise, both through one on one and group classes. Through out this time however, Maddy has also guided me through a multitude of exercises for both the mind and the body, that have helped me connect and understand myself and others in a much deeper and honest way. Maddy has also had a very positive impact on my mental health with her ability to listen, understand, and help ground me. Maddy has an illuminating energy that makes anyone that talks to her or walks in to her yoga class feel respected and welcomed. I cannot thank Maddy enough for all the guidance and knowledge she has shared with me. "

Yoga is a Sanskrit word, meaning to ‘yolk’, to ‘bind together’, to make something whole and to act in the union, or, ‘to directing different parts of self together’. As one begins to look inwards, there can often be this sense of overwhelm, fear, and confusion as one comes to appreciate their own inner power. It’s important to understand that the only part of this universe that we have some control over is ourselves – our reactions, our responses to the world around us, and when we learn to harness our responses, we find power and confidence within. We move from being self-centric to being much more open to the possibilities that exist.
Self Founded facilitates the ancient practice of Hatha yoga, a beautiful and gentle practice that offers the gentle opening of the body and strengthening of spirit. Suited for the beginner to the well practiced, the traditional sequence of Gita Yoga and its potential depth is held in each individual's approach and intention to their practice. It can be for a journey of understanding and self-compassion.
