Madhuri Flynn, a dedicated yogini of fifteen years, found and fell in love with Yoga on her arrival in San Francisco from London . Trained in the Integral Yoga tradition, from the linage of Master Sivananda, her teaching is both classical and radical. Madhuri lived in an ashram setting at the Integral Yoga Institute from 1996-2006, affording her the opportunity to be immersed in the teachings and to live a yogic lifestyle. Madhuri is a teacher of thirteen years, and she has trained over 300 yoga teachers internationally over the past seven years. Her passion is sharing the deeper teachings of yoga, which offer the precious treasure of true freedom and liberation.

Madhuri takes us on a journey through awareness and connection with our bodies - smoothing and harmonizing our energy; consciousness of the mental level then offers the opportunity to rest in the peace that is our true nature. This meditative approach is perfect for beginners and challenges advanced students. Each class includes chanting, a well-rounded classical asana practice, yoga nidra (extended, guided relaxation), pranayama (breathing practices) and meditation. Variations and modifications are offered to meet your practice as it is right now.

For the past 4 years Madhuri has been focusing on sharing Yoga with children and believes if we can give the children these skills it will change all of our futures. Yoga is an amazing tool to promote self-awareness, self-esteem, body awareness and ultimately Self-Love. When yoga is presented to children these things are nurtured and supported. Plus kids love it because yoga is fun. In the children's classes will explore yoga postures, breath awareness, inner peace and relaxation through yoga games and interactive play.

"After training Intermediate Level Hatha Yoga teachers with Madhuri for a number of years, and having experienced her hatha classes many times, I can wholehearted say that Madhuri is one of my favorite yoga teachers. Her whole being exudes the true spirit of yoga. Due to the depth of her own practice, she can teach with exceptional clarity and insight, leading her students to a profound experience -- physically, mentally, and spiritually. The only downside of Madhuri's classes is that they can become addictive."
