Maddie Adams with Yoga Luna LLC

 

About

Yoga Luna was founded in 2024 by Maddie Adams, Certified Yoga Teacher, C-IAYT, RYT-500, out of a heartfelt desire to provide community centered yoga that honors our cyclical nature and tends to the seasonal rhythms of our lives.

Maddie has been a student of yoga since 2004 and has been teaching since 2011. After many years of studying, teaching and practicing yoga that was vigorous and physically challenging, Maddie felt that something was missing from her practice and it needed to evolve. Through her experiences with pregnancy, birth, postpartum healing, parenting, and adrenal fatigue, she came to value the aspects of yoga that are nourishing, nurturing, and introspective.

She recognized that the best yoga helps us to find a balance in our lives between action and rest, challenge and recovery. Our culture tends to emphasize the former and disregard the latter, leading to the epidemic of exhaustion, burnout, addiction, and chronic illness that we see today. Her life experiences have helped Maddie develop a new skill set for deep healing with the power of cyclical awareness, rest, nurture, and self compassion. With this skill set and recognition came along a desire to partner with other experienced and dedicated teachers and offer these healing tools to the community at large.

And so Yoga Luna was born! At Yoga Luna, we acknowledge and affirm that we are all cyclical beings and that our lives and wellbeing are tied to and dependent on the many cycles of nature, from the big cycles of yearly seasons to the lunar cycle, menstrual cycles, day/night cycles, down to the smallest cycles of the breath and heartbeat.

We believe that a yoga practice that honors and tends to these rhythms has the unique capacity to awaken us to our own indwelling intuitive knowing (or vidya). By honoring the cycles of our lives, Yoga Luna seeks to embrace the wholeness of who we are at every level of being and nourish our capacity for deep healing and clear awareness.
