The Pad Studios

The Pad Studios on Union Street is a yoga studio whose reviews focus on its teachers and a warm welcome at the door. Nicole is the teacher most often praised. Reviewers describe her flows as well sequenced and her reflections on where to direct attention as thoughtful, and one calls her one of the finest teachers they have seen. Other reviewers describe instructors who are patient, adjust posture when needed and balance challenge with relaxation. Classes are described as moving and relaxing, with balance work and a feeling of accomplishment by the end. One review criticises a packed class where the instructions were muffled and the instructor hard to see, and says a struggling student got no help.

• Nicole's well-sequenced, reflective classes

• Patient teachers who adjust posture
