“ My mind and my inner worlds are filled with joy. ”

“ It was a life changing experience for me. ”

“ What you shared with us through word, image and movement was/is a unique melding of cross-cultural theory, practical skill, and personal experience – all presented with passion... ”

“ My experience of Moving Archetypes was like exploring a hidden cave of delights. Through Padma’s generous sharing of her dance artistry, I uncovered new insights about my own creativity and, with her generous encouragement and patience, I had fun experimenting and tapping into the source of my dance and story. Needless to say, I look forward to more! ”

“ I found the after affects of the class quite powerful. For the first time in ages I felt that emotions weren't annoying, useless interruptions to the frenetic pace of life and its incessant demands, but empowering, emboldening and useful to experience the fullness of life. You create a judgement free space which is feels both enriching and serene. Thank you! ”

“ Padma has an amazing gift of helping you to find what you need, she steps back and guides you to find yourself and helps you to focus when you get stuck. She offers a supportive, safe space to enable you to fully immerse yourself in this work. Padma has a deep knowledge of archetypes and shares her knowledge freely. ”

“ What I loved about the dancing was that I now have shapes or postures that embody certain aspects of the archetype that I want in my life. I can practice those poses when I need a reminder, and I found that I can also imagine the pose and feel it in my body for that added boost when I need it! ”

“ My story is very different to the stories of the archetypes, but the emotions are the same. And I could express myself with the archetype’s story, without telling my own story. This started a process of personal healing. She (Padma) taught me how to let negativity go and embrace all that is positive. ”

“ My classes made me confident and happy with myself. I started to like myself for the first time in my life...It has helped bringing me back to life...Through the classes I have peeled off the accumulated layers and every day am a new person. ”

“ The movement process made me go deep into myself. Whether I was searching my body or mind I was not sure. But expressing what I felt was a liberation. ”

“ ...she (Padma) has surprised me by being completely in tune with my own thought process. ...deeply educative and empowering...Padma’s long years of experience...has gifted her with a rare insight and intelligence in working with dance. ”
