Padma Shakti

Padma Shakti is Founder and Director of Rasa Yoga School of Yoga and Ayurveda, Visible Belief Education Foundation and Bay Area Yoga Collective.

Padma holds a firm commitment that Yoga and Ayurveda are on the cutting edge for success and leadership development. Through her ability to effectively assimilate and disseminate the teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda she enables people to craft a life beyond just getting by, to live a full life - thriving and healthy - toward the absolute highest quality possible.

Padma Shakti is committed to the power of community and seeks to demonstrate that through functional relationships, you strengthen and empower not only yourself, but the whole of humanity.

Her ability and clarity to empower others is made possible by her study, training and love of these great beings: Dr. David Hoch, Lex Gillian, Reverend Karen Tudor, Sandra Summerfield-Kozak of International Yoga Studies, Rodney Yee, Shiva Rea, Dr. David Frawley, Dr. Stephen Phillips, Swami Atma, Master Jason Campbell and Yogarupa Rod Stryker.

There are many other masters and teachers to pay homage to as well, whether by lineage living now or before.

Padma's current studies and training are influenced primarily by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. 

"The journey to mastering Yoga's challenging postures enables one to journey through life's challenges with mastery." - Padma Shakti

 

Padma's path to mastery is marked by courageous triumphs over personal challenges — overcoming the shadows of depression, navigating co-dependent relationships, and persevering through physical injuries, from a severe IT Band and hip injury to a dislocated elbow, all healed through the transformative tools of Ayurveda Yoga. Having faced the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic as a business owner, Padma exemplifies the path of mastery, turning adversity into opportunities for growth.

Padma's story is a testament to the transformative power of Yoga and Ayurveda, showcasing how one can rise above challenges, emerge stronger, and lead with wisdom and compassion. Through her lived experiences, Padma embodies the essence of the teachings she imparts, inspiring others to transcend their obstacles and thrive in their journey toward mastery, freedom and fulfillment.
