Using both traditional and unusual yoga poses, self massage, and breath work these classes help you to identify and target your “body blind spots”; areas of your body that are overused, underused, misused or abused. By intelligently addressing these problem areas, we increase strength, improve mobility, and establish healthy movement patterns. The result is less pain, improved posture and enhanced performance – a chance to live better in your body.

In addition to yoga, Mado currently stays active through hiking, dancing, aerial arts, and crossfit. Her most challenging and rewarding yoga practice so far is raising her spirited daughter.
