Madleen Alsabbah is the first American-born Palestinian in her family, a dedicated yoga instructor, creative, and community facilitator committed to healing, connection, and embodied self-expression. She began her yoga journey in 2013 and has since completed her 200-hour certification in 2018, Bhakti training in 2023, and a 300-hour Kaula Tantra Yoga Training in 2025 to deepen her spiritual and somatic understanding of the practice.
Rooted in her cultural heritage and personal experiences, Madleen curates sacred spaces that invite transformation, authenticity, and unity. She has taught at institutions such as the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Monona Terrace, and various wellness retreats, offering an inclusive, intuitive, and trauma-informed approach to movement and mindfulness.
With over 15 years of experience in community facilitation, Madleen’s leadership began as vice president of the Ski Club at UW–Whitewater, where she coordinated trips out West, and later as a city event coordinator for the City of Portage. Today, her work is devoted to supporting individuals and communities in reconnecting with themselves and one another beyond labels through ancestral practices such as singing, dancing, breathwork, and embodied movement.
As an Aquarius, 6/2 Projector in Human Design, and Life Path 9, Madleen is deeply committed to guiding others on their personal and collective healing journeys, and she looks forward to walking this path alongside her students and community.

A Silent Disco is an immersive music experience that transforms any space into a dance floor.
Each person is given a pair of wireless headphones connected to multiple music channels, allowing participants to choose between different genres, DJs, or playlists. With the ability to switch channels and adjust the volume to their own preference, everyone can create their own unique experience while sharing the same space. Unlike a traditional dance party, the music is heard entirely through the headphones.
There are no rules about how to move, no experience required, and no particular way you have to participate. You can dance, groove, move intuitively, or simply enjoy the music and energy around you. At its heart, Silent Disco is about connection through music and movement creating a space where people can share an experience while still expressing themselves in their own way. Put on your headphones. Choose your channel. Find your rhythm.
