Madison Ryley (Yogapella)

Madison has a passion for bringing people together in the name of healing with their own voices. Vibration is the key to unlocking profound physical healing, and connecting to your voice in this way helps to deepen your connection to your truest, most authentic self. Voice Empowerment work is also a profoundly helpful tool to learn how to authentically express yourself, and not shy away from your Truth, but rather learn to express it with unconditional love.

After studying to be an opera singer and receiving a Masters of Music,, she quickly realized this was not her path. Instead of shying away from her operatic past, she took the strong foundation and understanding of the voice, and blended it with her passion for yoga, breathwork, and meditation to create her business “Yogapella, Yoga for Singers” in which she hosts workshops, retreats and events across Toronto and in her current home, San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. Madison has completed many Yoga Teacher Trainings across Canada and India, and has studied various types of meditation (vipassana, mindfulness, yoga nidra, etc) as well as having extensive knowledge of the breath and various forms of breath work that she includes in her workshops (wim hof, ekadasi kriya, pranayam, rebirthing, etc).

In her workshop or retreat setting, we will explore how mindful meditation, movement, gentle breathing practices, and toning exploration can help unlock blocked energies in the body, and transmute past traumas into sound. We will release the sound from an embodied and safe space, leaving us feeling lighter, more connected and calm.

Madison is so excited to be sharing this work with the world, where together we will explore what it means to activate and heal with your own voice!
