Yoni Shakti: Well Woman Yoga Therapy Teacher Training

From Uma

“My intention with all the training courses and events is to share knowledge with clarity, generosity and respect. I teach straight from the heart, with the aid of high quality training materials and intelligently responsive scheduling that provides an effective structure for learning. The support of the circle and the karmic connections and resonances which each group creates an empowering and nurturing environment in which to learn and share. Into this environment, I bring together a deeply intuitive sense of group dynamics and wealth of experience in higher education: this is a valuable combination to facilitate and support, personal transformation and learning. These events are always deeply magical, and always nourishing.”

– Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD

Testimonials

I did the Total Yoga Nidra teacher training in 2015 with Uma and Nirlipta after completing the Immersion Experience, and the content of the course exceeded my expectations. Aside from whole experience being very nourishing with all the live nidras we practiced, I deeply appreciated the way the space was held for us by Uma and Nirlipta, the comprehensive approach that included the different schools of yoga nidra and the creativity that was invited and encouraged, all while clearly explaining and demonstrating the ethics of the practice."

Paula HinesAuthor of 'Rest and Calm'

I have completed the training twice now and the second time was even better! The benefit to my life has been huge, it’s been my staff in these extraordinary times we are living through. I am delivering more skillfully crafted yoga nidras to my groups and getting great feedback. The online weekly format fitted well around my family life.

Sarah HanksYoga teacher

Joining the (Yoni Shakti Teacher Training)course was the best decision I made and I cannot recommend it highly enough. My experience with traditional yoga was not sufficient enough to balance my emotions and meet my needs as a woman and mother. When I was introduced to Yoni Shakti Yoga, it was a revelation and I felt validated and supported. Uma is very skilled at applying traditional Indian yoga and applying it to the modern woman. The online learning experience was very positive. I have a deep gratitude to Uma and everyone else who organised the course.
