Sandie Paduano

Sandie Paduano took her first Yoga class in 1988. Shortly thereafter, intrigued to study Yoga more deeply, she cultivated a home practice and immediately discovered the personal joy Yoga offers. After living in NYC for some time, Sandie returned to her hometown of Philadelphia. Hearing that a Yoga studio was coming to Fairmount, a few blocks from her house, she began practicing at Wake Up Yoga as soon as it opened and has been inspired ever since. Working for years as a schoolteacher, Sandie thought it was only logical to further deepen her study of Yoga with the teachers at Wake Up Yoga, so she completed Wake Up Yoga's Teacher Training program in 2009 with beloved teachers, Corina Benner and Jill Manning. Sandie savors being part of the exquisite and dynamic community known as Wake Up. In her classes, she endeavors to help make Yoga accessible to anyone and everyone. Sandie is devoted to sharing the journey on the mat as a guide for a more mindful and graceful, everyday life off the mat. Sandie still lives only blocks away from Wake Up Yoga in Fairmount with her sweet husband, Eric, and vivacious daughter, Maya.
