Padmani (YuMee Chung) is a former securities lawyer who left behind a busy practice to engage more deeply with life. In 2002, she opened what would become the first Jivamukti Yoga studio in Canada and co-directed the studio for five years. In 2005, she conceived of and launched the Passport to Prana, which now operates in more than 20 North American cities. She has taught and spoken at national yoga conferences and she completed a tour of 19 North American cities with DJ medicineman. Today, she is a yoga teacher, entrepreneur and spiritual seeker. Her work and teaching take her around the globe, but she is happiest at home on the shores of Lake Simcoe with her musician husband. Named in Yoga Journal’s February 2008 listing of yoga’s “who’s who,” Padmani is an advance certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher who is also certified by Jill Miller in the Yoga Tune-Up method. She holds an E-RYT 500 designation.
