The Other Yogi

I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO, and earned my Bachelor's in Leadership and Change Management from Saint Louis University. I spent eight years with lululemon, then moved into merchandising at Amazon, where I helped build out the grocery business and its mission to make quality food accessible and affordable for underserved communities. I loved that work. I also learned firsthand what it costs your body to live in high performance mode for years at a time. That's why I built Hey Meet Maddy.

My love for movement started with my mom, who used to sneak me into yoga classes at our local Gold's Gym when I was 12 (she may have fibbed on the consent form and said I was 14). I began teaching Lagree at 22, where I learned the foundations of anatomy, slow-twitch muscle groups and how to lead a room. I also became Bloom Method certified to coach pre- and postnatal mamas. When I moved to Los Angeles, I taught under Lagree founder Sebastian Lagree, then completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at Hume, a world-renowned private wellness club in Venice, CA.
