Madeleine Balcom

A yogi since childhood, Madeleine began the formal study of yoga in 1999 and began teaching in 2004.

Madeleine has been engaged in the healing dimensions of the spiritual world from a young age; attending large outdoor meditation retreats as a child and participating in a solo wilderness vision quest at age 17, are just a few early examples. Madeleine’s primary teacher is Shiva Rae, founder of Prana Flow Yoga.

Prana Flow Yoga draws on the wisdom of the Shakti (feminine) lineages that focus on the subtle body and energetic alignment. Prana Vinyasa classes are themed with the elements of nature and offer the full spectrum of yogic arts, engaging your body, breath, heart and mind.  Madeleine is also registered with Yoga Alliance as E-RYT 200 (teaching 1000+ class hours) and RYT 500 after completing a 300 TT and Soulful Wellness Certification in 2021.

Classes may include Tantra-Hatha based mindful breathing, movement meditation, one-breath one-flow movement patterns, dance and kriya. Some workshops may also include journaling and life navigation or rituals to honor the seasonal transitions, such as the lunar cycle. Madeleine’s teaching empowers students to learn practices they can do at home to cultivate their own wellbeing.
