Yoni Shakti: Well Woman Yoga Therapy Teacher Training Online

Live, online training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD, author of Yoni Shakti. A Woman's Guide to Power and Freedom through Yoga and Tantra and guest teachers, Sivani Mata Francis, Yoli Maya Yeh and Tara Windmill Robson.


Welcome home to your rested self.

Welcome home to the restoration of your rhythmic cycles of wellbeing. 

Welcome to a circle of belonging that nurtures women’s health and vitality. 

Welcome to yoga that honours the female body in all its rhythmic cycles. 


This is the training for you if:

  • you have ever wondered if yoga could truly nourish a female body, in every cycle of life.
  • you have ever wished that yoga practice could be more respectful of women’s life cycles, and that yoga therapy could better nurture women’s well-being.
  • you seek to experience power and freedom through yoga and tantra as you learn to facilitate circles to empower others. 
  • you yearn to experience spiritual empowerment, positive health, sacred sexuality, blood wisdom and womb yoga and to share these gifts with others. 

In this course you will reconnect to the wellspring of your vitality and source power, to heal and thrive as you deepen your capacity to enable others to find their own ways to this reconnection.

You will learn practical simple techniques to feel, nurture and build the feminine energy of Shakti for the practical healing and benefit of women in all stages of life. 

This unique experiential course integrates the healing power of women’s circles, yoga satsang, Total Yoga Nidra, mudra, mantra, bhakti and swara yoga with menstruality consciousness to create a potent intersectional eco-feminist healing mode of complete yoga therapy for women and girls of all ages.

  • How to integrate the presence of the Dasa Mahavidyas, the ten wisdom goddesses as guardians for this work.

Testimonial

“Joining the 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.”
