So many hot yoga classes over the years! Padma would definitely be the teacher who has that spiritual connection with each person in the class. Its that "yoga meets you where you are" vibe that doesn't make you feel like you are behind or being pushed or criticized. She makes you want to improve with support and encouragement. Each class makes you feel like you have done something amazing. Not once ever have I regretted bringing myself to one of those sessions. Not every instructor has that kind of... feel! We've always thought highly of Padma and her depth as a caring professional. We even hosted a yoga class she taught in our yard. Writing this reminds me that i need to get back to her yoga class! Highly recommended.
