  Cathy Madeo is an exceptional instructor, teacher, mentor. Not only does she educate and train based on the mechanics of movement and the poses, she also trains the soul...the mindset and connecting with our higher self. If you desire to be trained by a professional who is passionate, caring and knowledgable Cathy Madeo is the teacher for you.

  Highly recommend Cathy Madeo YTT's!! Took my 200h & 300h and left both trainings with a deep knowledge about how to move bodies through space, to confidently develop creative and anatomically aligned Yoga classes, to create a safe environment and to be open and curious for any physical movement exercises to implement. I left both trainings with confidence that I can teach and that what I have to offer is valuable.

  Cathy is amazing. So much amazing information. She is there on zoom with you the whole time. Awesome alumni community. It was a transformational yoga program for me. Teaches you so much about alignment and anatomy. Learned much more about form and anatomy in this training compared to getting my personal training certification.

  Cathy Madeo's 300HR Teacher training is an excellent program that delivers far and beyond what it is promised. Cathy provided me the tools, knowledge and support to take my teaching to the next level with confidence and clarity. On first entering into a CMYteaching program at a 300HR level (not having experienced her 200hr TT) - Cathy ensured I was completely uplevelled to her style and teaching method by providing a bridge program with a substantial library of resources from her 200hr online training. The 300HR program is brilliant! It is extensive, linking all areas of yoga philosophy, functional anatomy and yoga asana. Being the training is online, it is well paced (you can also take things at your own pace if needed), providing the time to absorb the theoretical and instructional content before taking it into the online-classroom to go deeper through practice, group conversations and live lectures. Being there is an enormous amount of material to get through..(as one would expect in an advanced program) having the lectures recorded and available in a library- for life- is an incredible resource for revising, learning and teaching. For me, training while working a busy schedule, this was an added bonus being that I could catch up on any live sessions that I missed. Cathy created small groups within the larger group, to support and keep each other accountable. It is a brilliant approach to help build community, to provoke safe and honest conversations, and for us to go deeper if necessary. Cathy is a master teacher; sharply observant, kind, funny, relatable, transparent and overwhelming generous with her knowledge and time. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wishes to advance their personal and professional leadership skills to become a stronger, confident and advanced yoga teacher. With the deepest of gratitude, I am so glad that I completed my 300HR with Cathy Madeo Yoga.

  Cathy's training is invaluable. I advanced my practice and knowledge on so many levels with regard to asana, philosophy, pranayama, subtle body energy, physiology, self awareness and more. She creates an environment where students feel energized to grow but safe to be who they are. Cathy is so knowledgeable, professional but also compassionate and giving of her time, energy and knowledge in a nonproprietary way. I cannot recommend Cathy's program enough. From beginner to advanced you will grow immensely and remain connected to the community she creates.

  Taking this training was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Cathy is such a great, knowledgeable teacher with a great ability to hold space for everyone, even over a screen. The training just improved my skills and technique as a teacher so much, and I'm forever grateful for everything this training has done for me, and I keep improving and coming back to the material all the time.

  I completed my 200-hr YTT with Cathy Madeo Yoga and it was the most informative and rewarding experience. It far exceeded my expectations, and I am proud to say I am an alumni. Cathy is a wealth of knowledge, but most importantly a patient, positive, understanding, and encouraging teacher. I would highly recommend.
