Iris Mickey
Iris has built a loving, tight yoga community in Madison and through a passion for life-long learning has built a national network of yoga and therapeutic yoga experts. Iris holds a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and worked in the area of Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation for over 10 years. It was here that she observed the benefits of group classes that focus on real life problems and solutions to them. Early in her career, Iris worked in the Occupational Therapy field in a variety of settings, and later became a licensed bodyworker. It was a natural extension to pursue training in yoga therapy, and study the myofascial system of the body. She is a celebrated teacher in the Madison area and is passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga with everyone, and to build a sustainable and nurturing practice. She began her business Synergy Bodyworks, LLC in 1998, providing therapeutic massage and beginning yoga classes. She has taught regular classes and private sessions since the year 2000 in the Madison area and has a devout following as a teacher's trainer and within the healing community. Iris currently is studying and practicing Nada Yoga- through Vocal Meditation in her studies with Silvia Nakaash/Vox Mundi and her in person training in Sound Healing through the Sound Healing Academy and Sonic Theology with 9Ways Academy.
