About Padmani
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 with David Life, Sharon Gannon and two close friends. In 2005, she launched the Passport to Prana with her partners from GTA Yoga. She has taught and spoken at national yoga conferences and she completed a tour of 19 North American cities at the end of 2006 with DJ medicineman. Today, she is a yoga teacher, writer and spiritual seeker. Her work and teaching take her around the globe, but she is happiest at home in Toronto with her musician husband.
Named in Yoga Journal’s February 2008 listing of yoga’s “who’s who,” she is an advance certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher who is also trained to teach Ashtanga Yoga.
“Padmani is a graceful, hands-on instructor who will inspire and challenge you on every level.”
