Our Team - Madison Elyse

Meet our team, we’ll take you everywhere.

Meet the heart of Madison Elyse Yoga & Adventure Retreats – a team of passionate, skilled instructors, guides, and creatives dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences. With expertise in yoga, wellness, and exploration, they bring a personal touch to every retreat, ensuring you feel supported, inspired, and truly seen on your journey.

All-Inclusive

Transportation to and from the airport to the retreat center, food, lodging, workshops, excursions – it’s all included in your investment.

Workshops & Excursions

We blend other disciplines, like art, hiking, journaling, and culture into your itinerary to make your adventure meaningful.

We Welcome Everyone

Our retreats are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and we work hard to create an all-inclusive, safe space for everyone.

Self-Care & Relaxation

One of the most important parts of a yoga retreat is making time to slow down. Hop in a sauna or jump in the ocean. The choice is yours.

All-Levels Yoga

By teaching a unique blend of yoga and mobility with an emphasis on education and anatomy, we’re able to make every level of student feel empowered.

Community

YOU – the community – are the reason that people keep coming back for more. None of this would be possible without you.

Getting Started

Not sure where to start? Explore our retreats and decide which one is calling to you. Or, reach out to our team for more information.

Our Community

Nobody is too young or too old to attend a retreat. Although our yoga classes are strong, we provide a wide range of modifications for you to choose from to make the practice accessible.

What to Expect

Every retreat is different, but there is a common thread that runs through them all: all-inclusive care from start to finish. We’ll take care of you.

Every once and a while you come across people who simply "wow" you with their exuberance and passion for working with others. Madison is one of those people. She makes lighting your inner fire FUN, and compliments a strong practice with a compassionate tone to encourage you along the way. I found Madison to be an excellent guide during my own yoga exploration, and absolutely recommend her for group or private study.

Madison was one of my teachers during my yoga teacher training and I am SO grateful to her for spreading her wisdom, love, and spunky spirit throughout this transformative experience. She will challenge you physically while encouraging inward exploration, and constantly remind you of your inner strength. I had some real "breakthrough moments" with Madison; she is a true gem! A beautiful person inside and out, anyone could and will benefit from her yoga teachings.

Yoga is about balance. And Madison makes you find exactly this on your mat. If on your arms or in your mind, Madison's dynamic classes are a great combination of appreciating the yogic philosophy while at the same time not taking it too seriously. Loud laughs, big drops of sweat or even swearwords are just as welcome as sitting in silence, focusing on your breath and finding peace within yourself. I was practicing with Madison for two months on Tenerife and I just loved how she made everyone feel so welcome. No matter for how long you have been practicing before, Madison always knows the right posture that serves your body best. I was amazed by how much her classes taught me for my own practice and teaching. I had so much fun, thank you, Madison!

Madison Elyse

Founder & Roamer

Eight years ago I quit my job, sold everything I owned, and started traveling the world. I’ve lived in Costa Rica, the Cayman Islands, Chicago, and Spain, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that happiness isn’t found in a place – it’s found within.

And yet, I believe that travel (ahem – retreats, in particular!) can be an incredible catalyst for personal inquiry. When you go on retreat, you’re making a commitment to step away from daily life. In turn, you welcome silence, contemplation, and change.

This is why I lead retreats. There’s nothing I love more than helping people connect to the world and themselves through movement, meditation, and community.

I am an FRC® Mobility Specialist and have my 200-hour certifications in both Vinyasa Flow and Karuna Flow, as well as Reiki Levels I and II. More importantly, I’m passionate about making movement fun; my classes are a mashup of yoga, mobility, and even a little strength training.

Hi there, my name is Danny - a.k.a. Artruvian. I specialize in painting surreal landscapes inspired by our beautiful world, with some of my own abstract flavor mixed in.

Creating environments where we can think creatively, talk about art, and watch it come to life is one of my greatest passions.

Retreat Assistant, Transformational Life Coach

I am here to awaken a confident, fulfilled, and dynamic powerhouse version of you - the one that is laying dormant right now.

I'm a mum of two and a mindset queen, health and fitness coach, and your cheerleader on the journey to unleash the best version of you. It's my passion in life to help you create the most fulfilling and unbelievable life you can imagine!

My whole life I struggled with self-esteem and self-belief issues. I came face to face with them in my processional dance career, and again as I built my fitness brand and business.

Get ready to experience unstoppable confidence and stand in your power as you step into the best version of you.

Martin Lachance

Retreat Assistant, Cycling Guide

A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, Marty’s love of nature was born deep in the Canadian backcountry, camping, foraging, and stargazing with his dad. After graduating from the Outdoor Adventure guide program at Algonquin College in 2015, Marty turned his passion for exploration and outdoor education into a rewarding career as a naturalist. From bioluminescent tours in the Cayman Islands to multi-day sea kayak trips in New Zealand, Marty has spent the last 8 years finding new ways to help people experience the beauty of the natural world.

After moving to Girona, Spain, in 2020, Marty discovered his latest obsession: cycling. With DuVine, he now combines the two things he loves most–guiding tours and riding bikes. When Marty isn’t on a trip, he can be found ripping around on his bike training for his next gravel race.

John Paul Marquina

Web Developer

John, here.

I'm an outgoing person who loves to travel and take on extreme adventures, and at the same time, I love gaming and coding.

Building websites and tackling complicated problems is probably my favorite part of my job; I find the end result very rewarding.

In my free time I climb mountains, run, and cycle, and once I'm tired I love to play Dota2 and watch Netflix. At home, I have two dogs and seven cats. I guess you could say I love animals.
