“The intricate, deep dive program that Madeleine has developed is unlike anything I’ve ever participated in.
She has woven together the practice of kundalini yoga with creative assignments in the fields of writing and photography, along with guided meditations and chanting as prelude and preparation for extremely raw and meaningful guided discussions. Madeleine is a deeply passionate, knowledgeable and authentic teacher who gently guides her students with her fullest, most open heart. She creates a safe and grounded space where her students can reflect deeply on their lives.
Taken together as a whole, this program started a process of positive change in my life that is still reverberating through me, physically, mentally, and spiritually. You will absolutely be transformed by this experience.”
— Lisa Duncan, special education teacher, Blanco, TX
“I have been practicing twice a week with Madeleine for the past six months, and have been inspired now to do my own practice every morning. Although I have been doing yoga for 30 years, I hadn’t ever been motivated to make it a daily practice, until now. Madeleine’s positive energy is infectious, her deep spiritual knowledge and feminine intuition profound, her embodiment genuine and deep, and her love of music…wow, what can I say…the chanting and rhythms bring it all together so beautifully. After all these decades, I have found my true practice, and I have Madeleine to thank for that.”

“I participated in the Soul Shift program to add new tools to my life and coaching tool box. It gave me a new frame, a new lens, a new perspective.
Madeleine’s energy uplifts, delights, and creates well being. She is excellent at holding space. She brings both seriousness and fun to these sessions. She offers an open heart in a beautiful, warm, and playful caring container. Her presence is a reminder that as we grow, the path to genius is back to that state of beginner’s mind. ”
— Karen Knight, coach and facilitator, Austin, TX
“Madeleine is a truly gifted teacher. She has a wonderful, warm and compassionate presence and cares deeply about her students. In the Soul Shift program, I felt Madeleine fully supported my growth as human being and I was touched by her honesty and sincerity. Madeleine is also extremely knowledgeable and her years of dedication to the practice and teaching of yoga is fully evident in her classes. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“I loved my experience with learning Kundalini yoga with Madeleine Tilin. We were online the whole time from her Austin location, but she felt like she was right in my living room with me. Her informative and fun teaching style allowed me to understand and learn the practice quickly. I had done a lot of years of yoga in my twenties and thirties, but didn’t always feel a deep connection to the Yoga as a practice, and I would leave feeling more flexible, but a little empty inside — like I was missing something. After about a month of doing Kundalini every week with Madeleine, I could feel a difference.
If I came to the session sad, I left feeling inspired. If I came to the session stressed out, I left feeling calm. Madeleine directly tailored the sessions to my own personal needs, and seemed to have a deep understanding of what my body and soul needed. To be honest I knew nothing about Kundalini when I started, I just liked Madeleine’s teaching style and personality. She made the practice come alive, and I could literally feel the emotional and physical changes in my body after each session. I felt physical and emotional releases. I had fun with Madeleine, and she listened to my journey. I integrated the practices and philosophies into my own daily life, and feel like it changed my perspective on what the body and mind are capable of.”
