Our tiny treehouse studio opened officially last night! We had a fantastic Basics class in our new second studio, located just above our main studio in Fairfax. Last night we explored standing poses with our favorite mantra, ‘the pelvis is everything’.

Our second space will be open for small group workshops, Basics classes, meditation, kirtan and our Padma Teacher Trainings.

Om!

Padma retreats are not just vacations. Retreats with us are deep dives into the heart of yoga practice and power of sacred spaces that we love.

After an incredible retreat season, I am taking the next few months to integrate back home - bringing the power of our journeys to the yoga studio. Prayers sung in ancient temples and quiet moments by the river Ganga are now making their way back to you in Fairfax. 💫

Next year I am teaming up with Seema Johari and Anu Gupta once again to bring you to South India.
The 2027 retreat will feature exploration of the Ayurveda and Yoga and we explore lush landscapes and holy sites. This 2027 journey is limited to 20 students and it is almost full. Please register soon to reserve your space if you feel called to join us.

India’s magic struck my soul when I was very young and every time I return the power of that connection gets stronger. Deepest of bows to this holy land and the wise ones of past and present.
I’m honored to be in the presence of ancient wisdom and humbled by the power of this kind of love.

And also… I’m coming home! My first class back will be Monday at 12pm. Jet lag practices are always a trip! Let’s do it.

Many blessings, Lesley
