Agathe Padovani is a Filmmaker from Corsica, France. After 15 years spend in California, she have now found her new home in Miami, Florida. During all those years working in LA and Hollywood, she has done a lot of filming for Disney Chanel, several reality shows, many commercials and a few music videos.
In 2009 she started to practice Ashtanga Yoga. It changed everything! … the way she eats, when she goes to bed, the way she sees the world! She has amazing teachers: Tim Miller, Dena Kingsberg, Natasha Teran, and Kino MacGregor. Agathe has also spent time studying in Mysore, India with R. Sharath Jois.
Her daily practice and filming are her two passions in life. She loves to make beautiful images that capture the essence of Yoga … hoping to inspire new people to practice yoga and have healthier lives!
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Agathe has been a student of mine for over 6 years. During that time she has demonstrated both a love and dedication to the Ashtanga practice–and an amazing back bend. In the projects we have worked on together, Agathe has proven to be a technically skilled filmmaker who has a good knowledge of yoga and the ability to be unobtrusive as she works. She has my highest endorsement.
Yoga is essentially a spiritual tradition and the best videos and photos showcase not just the spectacular beauty of the posture but give you a hint towards the inner essence of the practice. Working with Agathe is a blessing. I’ve worked with many yogi-filmmakers and photographers and she is my top pick! As a dedicated practitioner herself she knows intimately what it means to devote yourself to the spiritual practice. Her videos and photos always contain an invitation to the inner depths of the practice. Not only is each video and image stunningly beautiful, executed with minute attention to detail, and delivered on with absolutely professionalism, but each video and photo seems to tell the story of her subject, inviting people to explore both themselves and the inner tradition of yoga.
