About Padma
Padma guides people to find freedom from stress, confusion and pain. Her counseling includes meditation, discussion, yoga and study.
Padma is one of Canada's best-known teachers of meditation and yoga, and hosts a nationally syndicated tv series on meditation and yoga called 'Living Yoga with Padma'. She developed, wrote and hosts the 65 episodes of the series. Padma is the author and producer of a series of educational DVDs.
For eight years Padma studied advanced-meditation in the western Himalayas of India. She read and master ed original Sanskrit texts of meditation philosophy and is authorized to teach by the director of the International Meditation Institute of India.
Living independently in the rural Himalayas, she studied Sanskrit texts, meditated for six hours a day, and learned the subtle arts of yoga including Sanskrit, chanting, breath-work, philosophy, mantra, tantra, and hatha yoga. She mastered scriptures in the original Sanskrit such as the Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali Sutras among others.
Padma's daily life in the Himalayas was rustic, and included preparing drinking water, building a fire for heat in the cold winters and surviving extreme heat in the summer. She cooked and lived with no electric appliances, or hot running water for eight years! There were no movies, cafes, telephones, tvs or computers. With few distractions, she spent the years in meditation, study and close dialogue with her meditation guru, Shri Yoga Shromani Swami Shyam Maharaj. Swami-ji is a master of the Yog Sciences and head of the International Meditation Institute of India, an educational institute recognized by the government of India, and associated with several universities in India.
Padma holds a B.Sc. in Biology from McGill University. She worked in Environmental research for the Federal Government of Canada. Intrigued by the philosophy of western science, she was fascinated to discover the vision of eastern wisdom while travelling in India. Now almost twenty years later, she has developed an innovative meditation program which unites ancient eastern wisdom with western knowledge. In Canada, she has been educating yoga teachers, doctors, lawyers, government and corporate clients in the subtle yogic arts of healing the body and clearing the mind.
Padma was director of the Padma Yoga and Meditation Center in Vancouver, B.C. She leads international courses, workshops and retreats in Canada, the USA, Mexico and France. She was a board member of the Yoga Association of B.C. and continues to consult YABC as a 'senior teacher', designing advanced teacher training programs.
Padma's corporate clients include CBC Radio, Public Health Canada, Ballard Power, Simpson & Thomas Lawyers, Intrawest, Porte Realty and Bolder Investments. Padma is currently an ambassador at the Lululemon flagship store in Vancouver. Her dvds are featured in three Lululemon stores, and she conducts meditation classes for the staff and customers. Padma specializes in private classes. These offer an opportunity to focus on individual needs.
To all of her teachings, Padma brings a rich wisdom of physical, intellectual and spiritual knowledge. She aims to awaken freedom and inspire health in all aspects of our lives.
