Explore my YouTube channel, Functional Yoga with Maddy
A body-intelligent approach to yoga designed to support ageing well.
Starting something new can feel intimidating—especially when yoga studios are filled with often younger, more flexible bodies. That alone can stop many people from taking the first step.
To help you overcome that hurdle, I’ve created a YouTube channel where you can begin your yoga journey in the peace and privacy of your own home.
You'll find a growing library of 25-minute, back-to-basics classes—starting with my three-part series: Yoga for Beginners. Each week, I add new videos themed around major muscle groups or specific poses to give you variety, choice, and a chance to build your practice over time.
All you need is a yoga mat, maybe a couple of blocks (or a cushion or heavy book), and a willingness to let me guide you.
With simple, clear instructions, you’ll learn foundational poses that build into a flowing practice—helping you gain the confidence to eventually join a class in person, if you wish. Or you might find that practicing online suits you perfectly.
Yoga is for everyone, at any stage of life. It supports a willingness to improve mobility, flexibility, and strength to keep doing tomorrow what you love doing today.
If you enjoy the videos, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel:

“Move often, Find joy, Age well – the keys to a long fulfilling life!”
“For years I have touched on doing yoga with various teachers and I can honestly say I have only really enjoyed yoga with Maddy. Her classes are tailor-made. I am at the older end of the scale but I am amazed at how much I can do. It helps with my overall body tone and strength. My balance and flexibility are improving.
Overall I feel so much better for it.” —
