Padma’s Yoga Style

Padma first trained for Hatha Yoga in 1980, qualified as a teacher with Sivananda’s Yoga Acharya in 1997, Yoga Siromani in 2001.  Since then Padma studied with many International  Iyengar and Ashtanga teachers in India, London and Sri Lanka.  With this wide repertoire of approaches, Padma's teaching can take into consideration that each individual is different. Every class has a different energy has she tailors the guidance to her students' needs.
