Padma Yoga

Padma Yoga is a renowned yoga instructor based in Hebden Bridge, New Zealand. The name “Padma” is derived from the Sanskrit word for lotus flower, which holds significant symbolism within the yoga and Eastern traditions. Just like the lotus flower that grows out of the muddy waters and blossoms in perfect beauty, Padma Yoga believes in the transformative power of yoga to help individuals overcome their own personal challenges and find beauty and bliss in their lives.

Padma Yoga has been practising yoga for nearly twenty years and teaching for over fifteen years. Her yoga journey has taken her from Ireland to her home county of Lincolnshire, and finally to the serene and picturesque Calder Valley. Having developed a deep love for the area, Padma Yoga and her husband made the decision to settle in Hebden Bridge in 2018.

On a personal level, Padma Yoga is passionate about yoga and its positive impact on mental health. She believes that yoga has the ability to bring individuals back to their centre when they feel stuck mentally, emotionally, or physically. Through a regular yoga practise, individuals can learn to listen to their own needs and develop a deeper level of self-trust. Padma Yoga has personally experienced the transformative benefits of yoga and hopes to share this with her students as well.

At Padma Yoga, weekly classes are at the core of the teaching. Padma believes that when individuals find a yoga practise and teacher they love, it has the potential to bring about positive change. Whether students are just starting their yoga journey or are looking to continue their practise, Padma Yoga offers classes suitable for all levels. In addition to regular classes, Padma Yoga also offers specialised yoga courses designed to address specific needs such as mental health, meditation, childbirth preparation, and pelvic toning.

For those looking to deepen their understanding and practise of yoga, Padma Yoga organises workshops that explore various aspects of yoga and its teachings. These workshops provide an opportunity for students to delve deeper into the wealth of yoga practises and learn how to incorporate them into their daily lives.

To provide a more immersive yoga experience, Padma Yoga also organises retreats in scenic locations. These retreats offer the perfect opportunity for individuals to take a break from their daily routines and dive deeper into their yoga practise. Retreats are held in locations such as Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, allowing participants to connect with nature and rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit.

Testimonials from students highlight the positive and transformative experiences they have had with Padma Yoga.
