The Pad Studios

In a city where people are constantly coming and going, one of the greatest gifts is creating a place where people feel they belong.

Whether you’ve been practicing with us for a decade or just moved to San Francisco and are looking for connection, my hope has always been that The Pad feels like a place where you can land, take a breath, and be welcomed exactly as you are.

When I took over The Pad, my intention was to continue nurturing a space where people could practice, connect, grow, and feel supported through all seasons of life. Reading these words reminded me how much that intention matters.

Deep gratitude for you, Sonja, and for every person who helps make this community feel like home. 💜

“The Pad has been my home away from home for over a decade. I discovered the wonderful women-owned studio when it still offered Yoga and Pilates classes pre-pandemic and loved both. Since Nicole took over the studio, I have been even more in love. The quality, the variety, and the different levels of classes and teachers are all truly amazing. But one thing that really stands out is the community. You come for the yoga and you leave with a family.”

Candlelit Chat: Making Friends with Life✨

Through conversation, inquiry, and shared presence, Shabda Kahn & host Nicole Cronin will offer insight drawn from decades of spiritual teaching, lived experience, and deep wisdom and contemplation of impermanence, love, and transformation. There will be time for reflection and optional audience questions. The last Candlelit chat included moments of laughter and some accessible breathing practices too!

Come as you are, we welcome you into this sacred conversation. Candles will be lit, hearts open, and the evening held with care and compassion.

🕯️ Friday May 8th | 6:30–7:45pm
📍The Pad Studios SF | Sliding Scale Donation

Candles will be lit, hearts open, and the space held with care as we come together in curiosity, remembrance, and love.

*Chairs will be provided as well as bolsters💜

The first seven years of life shape the blueprint for who we become.

Conditioning can come from parents, teachers, and society — and over time, it disconnects us from what is real and true within.
Primal Breathwork gently unwinds these early patterns and reconnects us with the healthy, living child within.
