About Padma’s Yoga

Padma’s Yoga is a fusion of three different schools - gentle Sivananda, precise Iyengar and energetic Ashtanga. As a result her classes are free from a fixed pattern and over time you practice a huge array of poses. No muscle is left un-stretched, every joint is opened.
" Padma is a gently challenging teacher, over 4 or 5 days she watches what you are capable of and senses when you can do more than you believed possible. At these points she gives you individual guidance and support. In inelegant moments, there is often a peal of laughter, you try again and your range expands."- RNJ ,Waiheke Island.

CHAVUTTI THIRUMAL, MASSAGE & TRAINING

People travel from all over the world to receive, or learn to practice Padma’s Chavutti Thirumal massage. The entire body is smoothed with healing ayurvedic oil and then for 75 minutes receives deep, firm, flowing strokes quite literally from head to toe. Chavutti has exceptional power and reach because it’s delivered by foot. It irons out muscular-skeletal problems, squeezes out toxins and then reaches into the emotional and postural patterns, which have created pain or woe.  You can have one - off massages with Padma, or ideally a full course of treatment over 10 - 14 days.

Padma can also train qualified massage therapists to deliver Chavutti Thirummal (Program formulated for clients needs). The 3 weeks of intense training leaves the practitioner confident and skilled to practice alone.
