"This Yoga Teacher Training was so well constructed and delivered. Being one weekend per month, it was a great way to space out the learning. Each month, Madi cleverly unravelled a little bit more, and each session sent me home completely amazed and refreshed. The timing of the different asanas and philosophy was always just right for where I was up to on my journey" Al
Awesome course! The opportunity provided by Madi through yoga, has set me on a life long journey of inner peace and calmness. I feel I can now rise out of any muddy water, like a lotus. I now have the necessary tools to move through life at peace with myself and with others. Bec
This course is simply life changing - so supportive, informative, and challenging in all areas of life. Whether you want to teach or just become a better human being, Madi's YTT can do it! THANK YOU!! Lizzie
Yoga Teacher Training has had a huge impact on me. Through learning yoga and its many elements, I like and trust my body and my mind much more. Loved it all. Loved the teacher. Meg
Really great course - easy to follow teaching directions. Bali Retreat was fantastic - would love to stay longer! Feel like I've just started, although it's been a year. I could do another year easily! Madi is a wonderful teacher, gentle teacher. Great to meet like minded people. Jane

In 2015 I enrolled in 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Paradise Yoga (Madi Simmons). Little did I know that the most amazing door of opportunity was about to open for me. Madi helped me take my first steps into the world of yoga teaching. My training was a combination of online, face to face workshops in and around NSW, plus an amazing adventure to Cambodia, to complete and enhance YTT. Cambodia allowed me to connect and find my true nature. I felt as though I had unlocked something within myself, something I never knew existed. Cambodia offered me solitude and an authentic insight to learning and developing as a teacher. I cannot imagine training to be a Yoga teacher without experiencing the philosophy and history of yoga in the roots of its existence. No text book can provide the energy that a country such as Cambodia brings, it breaths knowledge and light into your soul. My ten days in this country under the guidance of Madi and a wonderful selection of experienced yoga teachers truly inspired me . It was then, whilst visiting beautiful old ruins, eating the most amazing food and sharing quality time with like minded people, a tiny seed was planted in my mind. I'm now a registered Yoga Teacher, 500 hours with Yoga Alliance, and am about to open my new studio in November 2018 - on the Bay of Bengal. I fell blessed to be taking a big leap forward with my yoga jounrey, and to leaving my footpirnt on the beauitful sands at Ngapali Beach, Myanmar. If you're on the pathway of a Yoga teacher , you must get out of your comfort zone, spread your wings, travel and enjoy this amazing country, with all it has to offer. I cannot imagine ever doing this another way. Thank you Madi for sharing your experience and believing in me, forever grateful Jac x I feel in life you should go to where you are best needed. Dream big! Jacqueline @ Yogon by Jac
I learned a solid grounding in yoga, in a lovely, relaxed teacher training situation. How fantastic to have this in Dubbo! Jen
