Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, Sound Healer & Musician

Maddie is currently living and teaching in the beautiful surfing capital of the UK, Cornwall. She has spent the past five years perusing her love for travel and Yoga whilst teaching between Cornwall, Bali, Portugal, and Sri Lanka at a number of studios, Yoga trainings and retreats. Maddie’s deep passion for music and sound is threaded through her teaching style.

As a trained musician, vocalist, and sound healer, it has been important to her to share the power that sound can offer us. Maddie has spent a wealth of time studying the healing power of Mantra and chant, and shares her knowledge of this through Vocal activation workshops, Kirtan ceremonies and Sound Baths.

Maddie’s classes are dynamic and creative. She creates classes which support and benefit each single student, encouraging them to discover their own unique body’s movements and breath. Maddie teaches with an element of softness, ease and patience, and creates a space where students can feel safe to open their hearts and express themselves in their very own way. She often combines her love for world music, sound and poetry within her classes, using a variety of instruments to create a healing space, and guiding her students along a journey of sound, and moving meditation.

Between traveling and working as a teacher for Spanda Institute, you can find Maddie at her lovely home in Cornwall where she teaches regularly at several Yoga studios and offers Sound Healing on retreats and within her local community. When not teaching you’ll find Maddie where she loves to be the most- in the ocean - surfing, swimming or paddle boarding with friends, or escaping to a secret beach to write her poetry and music.

Yoga Teacher, Physiotherapist & Sound Healer

Teresa is a German Yoga Teacher, Physiotherapist, and Sound healer, that moved her roots to Portugal's coast. Being born in the countryside of southern Germany made a fundamental impact on her connection to the nature around her, but also left one longing open, the ocean. No place makes her feel more free, connected, and herself as the sea.

Since 2021 Teresa lives and offers her skills between Portugal, Germany, and Sri Lanka. She achieved her 500h certification with Spanda Institute, where she also has the pleasure to combine her two professions and teach about human Anatomy in several Yoga Teacher Trainings.

The love for Sound and Mantra is something that started blooming especially during the past years, thanks to the subtle encouragement of her co-teacher Maddie. Since taking a Soundhealing training in North India in 2022, she pursues to also make her students experience the same healing power that lies in ancient Mantras, Indian instruments, and the exploration of our voice.

Teresa teaches a dynamic Vinyasa style, inspired by the elements and topics that move us, with a great focus on slow, conscious, aligned, and breath-connected movement. The overall goal of her classes is to experience your most authentic self, to shed off the layers that slow you down and hold you back from living your full potential.

In her free time, you will find her in or close to her happy place, the ocean. Either looking for waves to surf, going for a hike along the cliffs or enjoying another perfect sunset with friends or quietly by herself.

„Our whole life is about ‚connection‘. Connection to the people close to us, connection to nature, and most importantly the connection to our true self. Yoga is my tool to work on this. It is what I want to share with the world.“
