ORA Center is the home of Chattanooga Yoga School and Madia’s integrative private practice — a space for yoga, somatic work, and embodied care.
A movement in embodied presence. Yoga Teacher Training
Our curriculum is primarily designed to offer participants a Foundational education that will prepare them for the journey of a yoga student and teacher, private practitioner or mind/body professional. We encourage practicing yogis to attend this training to deepen their understanding of yoga from asana to pranayama to Samadhi. The Chattanooga Yoga School is led by dedicated and attentive full-time yoga professionals who will prepare you to enter a studio classroom with confidence. Our practicum is like no other. Upon graduation, you will have sequenced and taught multiple hour-long yoga classes. If your goal is simply to deepen your practice, we will offer an advanced curriculum without the pressure to instruct classes. Students will practice a spectrum of asana classes and learn the philosophical foundations of this amazing mind/body medium. Every participant will leave with a comprehensive plan for success, including extensive study of nutrition, lifestyle and business. Our goal is to offer an experience that exceeds our students’ expectations. We are proud to bring you an integrative curriculum that surpasses the standards for Yoga Alliance Registration.
Crossing the Threshold with Madia Swicord offers four hours of movement, breathwork, nervous-system tools, and embodied exploration to help you cultivate steadiness from the inside out.
🌿 All bodies welcome. No experience necessary.

✨Return to Center is a monthly somatic practice where we explore fluid movement, inner listening, journaling, and reflection.
Each month opens a new theme — a new way of coming home to yourself.
This month’s theme is Grounding.
We’ll work with slow, exploratory movement, breath, and a simple stone ritual to help you settle, root, and reconnect with what feels steady inside.
✨ Please bring a small stone — something you can hold in your hand.
It will serve as your grounding anchor for the evening.
If your body has been asking for space, softness, or a deeper sense of belonging… this is for you.
✨ Comment “return” below and I’ll send you a unique somatic question in your DMs — a gentle way to drop into your body before class.
Sign up for this Thursday through the link in my bio or send me a message to reserve your spot.

🤍 A gentle invitation to come back to yourself.
Join Madia Swicord for Return to Center a slow, compassionate, somatic-based class for anyone who feels called to pause and listen inward.
We’ll create space to meet what’s alive inside us: the steady parts, the tender parts, and the parts that may have been waiting for a little more attention.
The class weaves together somatic coaching skills, Hakomi-inspired inner listening, intuitive movement, and breathwork to help the nervous system settle and create a greater sense of ease.
You don’t have to arrive with anything figured out.
You don’t have to perform, achieve, or push through.
You’re simply invited to notice.
Maybe you’ll feel a little more spacious. Maybe you’ll notice your shoulders soften or your breath deepen. Maybe something you’ve been carrying will become a little clearer.
Whatever arises, there will be room for it.
We’ll close with a few quiet minutes of journaling so you can reflect on and integrate what you experienced.

What if you gave yourself an hour to slow down, breathe, listen inward and simply come home to yourself?
Return to Center is a gentle, somatic-based class that invites you into a sense of wonder, spaciousness, and aliveness.
Together, we’ll explore what’s alive inside, the parts of you that feel steady, the parts that feel tender, and even the parts that may not have had much room to be seen or felt.
This slow and compassionate experience weaves together somatic coaching skills, Hakomi-inspired inner listening, intuitive movement, and breathwork to support the nervous system in settling.
You may experience a softening, warmth returning to your chest, a release of tension you didn’t realize you were holding, or a quiet clarity around something you’ve been carrying.
There is nothing to force and nothing you need to accomplish. Just an opportunity to pause, listen, and reconnect with yourself.
We’ll close with a few minutes of journaling to help integrate what you notice.
