living yoga beyond the mat
hi! my name is madeleine luise arena.
i’m a multi-passionate creative, writer & yoga teacher driven by compassion. after more than 10 years of struggling with self-acceptance and perfectionism, i now share what I have learned on the path to recovery, and help my students harness the tools of yoga to cultivate awareness, balance, and contentment, both on the mat and in their larger life.

what students are saying
“Madeleine’s instructions are always very clear, making me feel safely guided in my practice. I also really love her calm, reassuring voice.”
—Charlotte A.
“Madeleine’s classes make me feel challenged, but not discouraged. Her warm way of reassuring and reminding us there is no competition is so wonderful. Afterwards I feel more flexible and in balance, physically and mentally.”
—Michelle A.
“I was scared to start yoga at first, I thought I wasn’t flexible enough. Madeleine has a beautiful way of slowly bringing yoga to you and making it accessible.”
—Uli O.
“Madeleine really helps me relax, especially since I’m usually shy at yoga because I feel like I never get the moves right. She explains everything so well and makes it so easy to follow along.”
—Taryn W.
