Hello, I’m Uma…

For over 20 years I have been passionately committed to the path of Yoga.

I believe in creating accessible & inclusive spaces for all people; my workshops, immersions, trainings & Retreats encourage deep enquiry to cultivate the space necessary for lasting, conscious change.

For me, sharing & learning Yoga is about healing from the inside out, it takes commitment, but the experience can be deeply joyful and transformational.

I am known for my love of Tantrik Shaivite & Shakta Philosophy & Mythology; weaving stories into the embodied practises of breathwork (pranayama) and moving meditation. Through story telling we can practice beyond the asana, where yoga comes alive.

As an activist for Social Justice & the Earth, I am passionate about sharing Yoga as a path of service & healing beyond self. My first trainings were in a traditional Ashram in India, and I am always striving to share Yoga with respect to the source, always honouring the roots of the teachings. I am dedicated to actively supporting wilderness protection & tree planting, as well as supporting the Pay the Rent initiative.

I love holding immersive spaces for deep learning, expansion and growth. I’m passionate about supporting Yoga Teachers to deepen their understanding of Yoga, as well as finding deeper connection to their own authentic voice, so that we might share the gift that is Yoga with greater power, integrity and respect. My 100 hour online Teacher Training Breath of the Heart (BOTH) is a radical & unique approach to Modern Yoga, combining the essence of what I have learned over the last 20 years of committed study & practice.

You can find me most aftertnoons in my garden with my kids and a pot of tea, soaking up the good stuff.
