"Allow me also to convey my deep appreciation Yoga Experience with you Linda, You might notice my big hesitance, and that I lost my words to express the experience inside. But I guess you capture my emotional responses during my practice you and due my effort getting back my happiness and inner peace. :-):-) Experienced Yoga with you, gradually I increase my awareness to allow positive energy to reach my heart, gradually I feel how blisses flowing. I feel more confident about my strength and how the universe supports me. Thank you Linda, I hope this experience is not a des tina tion but a continue process that I am able to maintain everyday."

this was the first time I ever went so deep…

" This was the first time I ever went so deep to be able to actually feel release of sadness and pain from resentments, past traumas, bad memories and all that was holding me back from happiness. I forgave all those who hurt me and asked for forgiveness from those I have hurt. I could feel smile coming from the inside. I experienced myself healing through the yoga mudras, yoga nidra and asana. I experienced the healing power of yoga. It is real from me now. Thank you for the bottom of my heart "

the "Healing Power of Yoga" retreat with Linda Madani was very powerful…

"The "Healing Power of Yoga" retreat with Linda Madani was very powerful and provided us with tools that we can bring home and use for our own personal healing. Meeting with Linda's teacher and the final ceremonies were undoubtedly the highlight of this retreat. All the activities (yoga classes, spa treatments, rituals) created the perfect atmosphere for healing. I enjoyed the balance between free time and organized activities. If I were to use one word to describe this retreat, I would use "empowering" I will definitely recommend this type of retreat."

I was living in Ubud for the past five years…

"I was living in Ubud for the past five years and I met Linda as a neighbour in Penestanan. As soon as I understood she was also a yoga teacher I joined her student group, that time in Jl Hanoman at Tegun Gallery. Then she started her rewarding relationship with Ibah Hotel. The yoga space there has a very good quality. Surrounded by lush green, Penestanan hills are visible from the large windows. The wooden floor, the high ceiling, the white walls, everything contribute to the peaceful atmosphere of the space. The very fact that Linda has been teaching there consistently for the past four or more years, I'm sure adds to the good vibes of the premise. Thus, I've been practicing with Linda on and off for the past four years. I've totally enjoyed the experience because it has given me so much. I could see my life changing through the regular yoga practice, my body going through transformation, my emotional tone getting steadier, the ability to reach my feelings getting deeper, my Allowing and my Letting go taking increasingly more space in my daily life. When my mind goes back to that room at Ibah, I can feel a smile surfacing my face, because I remember the joy that doing yoga with Linda has given me. She is a very creative teacher, her practice is never dull because she can change the plan of the class every day, according to the people attending the class. Her passion and commitment is visible through her body, I totally enjoyed watching her while teaching. I'm sure it's been inspiring having her as a teacher. Thanks my dear friend. "

"Thank you so much for everything you did for me at yoga class in Ubud. I think of your words (in your accent) to Relax all the muscles in the body every single day. I very much appreciate the time you took during our private healing and physical therapy session to show me exercises I could do to help my back and neck. I do the rehabilitation exercises every single day now and they are fantastic. And, I am trying to keep my shoulders down and my chest out […] if I move permanently to Bali; I hope I can take more of your incredible spiritual and yoga healing sessions again. Very Sincerely."

"Linda is a very special person, who found her calling in Bali after working in the harsh world of business. She is a most tender, caring and loving lady and above all a fantastic Yoga teacher. She will adjust her instructions in class to your personal needs and limitations. She is full of positive and loving energy. Linda does not have one fake cell in her body and her soul. Do yoga with her, it will rejuvenate you."

she individualises her teaching…

"Linda is an amazing woman, an old oriental soul in a young western body. She is deeply spiritual and the way she conducts her class reflects this. Linda has a calming effect on me and her voice can put one into a deep relaxed state. It also makes one want to go beyond one's physical limits which, considering my age, are not far reaching. But in the years I have been her student, I have made great progress and would not miss one class for anything. The best thing is, she individualises her teaching, to take into account the boundaries of each student."
