Madonna Williams
Course facilitator and lead teacher
Madonna is the owner and principle teacher of Zen Soul Life, starting her first Yoga community on the Gold Coast in 2002. Madonna now supports a community of teachers providing Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga classes in various locations on the Gold Coast. She teaches on overseas training courses and runs Retreats currently in Byron Bay and Bali.
Recently Madonna’s studies are focused on Yoga Philosophy. In the past she has studied Bachelor levels in exercise and health science and at Post Graduate level in nutrition. She is a qualified Thai Shiatsu massage therapist and adds this sacred touch to her classes. Madonna is the author of ‘Zen Soul Your Life’, an A-Z guide on thoughts, foods and yoga postures.
My heart expands when students share their positive and transformative experiences through our Yoga teacher training. Our intention is to guide, uplift and hold space for this powerful and extraordinary time. It is an honour and privilege to share this dedicated practise, life wisdom and truthful intention of peace, compassion and connection. How we use this training to enhance our lives ‘off the mat’ is perhaps the most potent outcome of all.

Kate envisions a world where everyone has the knowledge and power to embody the true essence of yoga, on the mat and in their everyday lives. Where our community is brought together by common intentions of love, sustainability and respect.
Ever since Kate’s dad bought her a yoga video at the tender age of nine, she has been enthralled by the practice of yoga. Kate’s practice has deepened and become more consistent, strengthening and lengthening her body and expanding her mind, both on and off the mat.
Yoga is at the core of my existence, inspiring me each precious moment to be more mindful. I am forever a student and love exploring both the physical asana practice of yoga along with the ancient philosophies and teachings this eternal science offers us.
