Testimonials

I was a student of Padma’s for a 500 hour yoga teacher training, in 2021.  I was certified under her curriculum. On the first day of instruction, she introduced herself and prompted the class to guess where her accent was from.  It was our first class exercise!  Her radiant energy made me feel that she was simply happy to have us there.  And from then on, she continued helping each of us to connect with one another and especially with ourselves.  Padma is a connection creator.  I know her to be bold, passionate and well organized.  She is a yoga mentor to me and also my friend!  Namaste - Sabrina Vetter, Yoga Teacher
I have known Padma for over 10 years and I taught Yoga at her studio when she opened in 2016. When I left Sacramento to open my own business in San Diego she became my mentor in all yoga business related questions. Through all these various phases of our lives I’ve had the opportunity to work with and get to know Padma intimately. I truly value her knowledge, experience, and her opinion. She obviously has an undeniable talent for dealing with the business aspects of running a yoga studio, from the nonsense trivial minutia, to the complex important detailed tasks. She is honest, dedicated, intuitive, hard-working, and organized. Her business advice has been instrumental in the growth of my business. I confidently recommend her to any owner looking to grow their business. - Xenia Guido, Pura Vida Yoga Studio
I taught in Padma’s yoga studio for 4 years, watching it grow from just an idea, to brand new business, to a successful and beloved, thriving Yoga studio. What makes Padma’s expertise unique is that she is not only highly skilled on the business end of operations and logistics, but also a master community builder! - Olivia Huls, Yoga Teacher
