About Madeleine Bong

Madeleine Bong is an International, Trauma-Informed Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Her focus revolves the utilization of Polyvagal Theory (nervous system regulation) and somatic practices to embody safety. Madeleine's aim is to help guide and facilitate connective spaces so practitioners may find clarity, contentment, and authentic joy.

Madeleine has been a practitioner since high school, but her fascination for Yoga and Polyvagal Theory grew when she noticed the practice was not only healing her physical spinal injury, but also soothed her emotional pain and anxiety.

After a decade of self inquiry and practice, she has found more space and freedom in her body, mind, and heart to continue her passions of golfing, hiking, and painting with less pain and a whole lot of fun.

Her journey has helped her find a reconnection, reclamation, and sense of safety in her body. The result has been, growing confidence, compassion, and resilience on all levels with herself and her relationships.

From teaching in Australia and Indonesia, Madeleine is thrilled to be back in the States to share her teachings with the communities in her home country.
