Madeline (she/her)

Madeline discovered yoga in 2010 while she was a college student studying to become an early childhood educator. She began taking classes in search of balance and movement during a transitional time in her life, and is deeply grateful for the many gifts yoga has brought her. Since then, she has spent over a decade working as an elementary school teacher and instructional coach. After earning her 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification in 2025, she began exploring where she feels most at home as a teacher. Discovering kids yoga through her training and certification with Seattle Kids Yoga (2026) has felt like the most natural (and fun!) bridge between her backgrounds in education and yoga. She believes that children's imagination and creativity are boundless, and enjoys nurturing that through storytelling, movement, and open-ended exploration. Off the mat, Madeline loves reading, traveling, going on long walks, and bringing friends and family together to share good food and laughter.
