Testimonials

Yoga therapy with Uma has totally changed my experience of being in a body. Before working with her I struggled to find a daily yoga practice that actually guided me in the direction of living meditation integrated in daily life. Her deep intuitive guidance helped me to find peace in my body with simplicity and ease, working within my bodies capacities while honoring where I am at. She pin points the areas that need balancing and provides a practice that is deeply nourishing and practical, making the practice truly something to be look forward to each day. Words fail to express the level of healing that is possible through a dedicated practice and mentorship with such an impeccable being as Uma. She is truly a light on the path!

Working with Uma has been revelatory for me. Her incredible knowledge and wisdom has totally transformed the way I view my body, my monthly rhythm and - most importantly - the connection between the emotional and the physical. Uma teaches in such a way that you feel supported, yet also empowered and free to explore your own path as she gives you springboards to deepen your own learning and understanding. She is a wonderful listener, extremely intuitive and really translates your experience into a practice that speaks to your body.

I practice and teach Yoga for many years now, but Yoga therapy with Uma gave me a new and fresh perspective about how incredibly healing and therapeutic a yoga session can be. Her delicate attention on details and her accurate approach to breath as well as movement is incredibly powerful and helpful. This session has been a true medicine for me. Every part of the session was personalized and curated for my specific case. It was amazing.

The practice has helped me tremendously. I feel the blockages being removed in my neck, shoulders, and stomach area. I am no longer having big emotional releases since we began practicing together. It feels like the layers are opening up; this cage that I would so often feel is slowly being softened and removed. My menstruation cycle has improved hugely! I didn’t have a period, or it was very irregular. I had horrible cramps and back pain, and now I have it regularly with very minor discomfort. I have a greater understanding of the cycle and what my body needs during each phase because of you. The menstruation practice has helped to release the pain in the body. My connection to food has changed, and this need to cope is beginning to shift. Using mantra has helped me to release insecurities about using my voice. I have seen a BIG shift in the openness of my voice and also being able to speak my truth and needs more freely. Working with you has truly changed my life and my practice in a HUGE way.

After more than ten years of practice it was a relief to find someone with such passion and insight, I had given up hope that I could learn anything new but Uma opened my awareness to new depths of subtlety, an entirely new level of yoga. Uma holds exquisitely safe space and is deeply intuitive. Her steady presence helped me touch a sense of lasting calm during our sessions. She transmits a powerful and profound primordial wisdom, her devotion to the practice and study of its roots is very impressive and clearly heartfelt. I am grateful to have found a teacher with such depth and mastery, Uma is a guide you will keep coming back to whether you're a seasoned professional or vulnerable newcomer. Her offerings are accessible, trauma-sensitive, tailor made for transcendence, and highly recommended!

Uma was an absolutely brilliant therapist. I have suffered with anxiety and depression over the last 6 years, and chronic constipation since I can remember. For each of these ailments I have sought professional and medical help on countless times, but seemingly their help has been to no avail since my problems continue. I did not arrive into my yoga therapy course expecting to notice a change to any of these things, but I was proved entirely wrong. My anxious thoughts dramatically dropped, and I went from passing a stool every 4-5 days, to every day - at 11am every morning! It was like clockwork, something I have never experienced in my 27 years!

I think my whole life I have been trying to figure out how to breathe correctly, I always felt like I was having to use too much effort, or parts of my body that weren’t necessary but after learning the bandhas and practices from Uma I feel that I have finally narrowed in on it and, wow, I am so grateful!

- Ian (California)

I really enjoyed learning from Uma and experiencing her deep care and commitment in her teachings. Uma helped me understand I could practice feeling comfortable in my body even when in pain and discomfort. I learnt that I can participate in movement and breath in a less strenuous way and it will support my symptoms. Uma helped clear some of my mind and body blockages. Uma is a wonderful teacher and her knowledge surpasses her years.

Working with Uma has completely changed my life!  She not only zeros in on exactly the practices your body needs, she also goes deep into your psychological patterns and anchors each practice she gives you with what will bring you holistically back into alignment.  If you are ready to start thriving in your life, start working with Uma.

- Sharu (California)

The practice Uma designed for me was just what I needed and by the questions she asked every week, I became more aware of subtle processes in my body. She changed the practice according to my needs and the way she encouraged me to stay focused helped me to keep up the practice until our next meeting. I could feel that my breathing became deeper and I lost quite a bit of weight without changing eating habits at all. She is a great teacher, very compassionate, still, focused and precise. Your practice drawings are still in use, especially the menstruation alternatives!

- Pia (Berlin)

Classes with Uma are a profound and healing experience. I learnt how to embody my body and give myself containment and holding. Uma is kind, passionate, knowledgeable, and really gives every session a personalized attention for your healing journey and body.

- Valeria (Mexico City)

Uma is an amazing teacher and made the retreat yoga interesting and challenging. Uma has learnt and experienced so much on her travels and bought her valuable knowledge to our classes. She is acutely aware of people's individual needs and limitations and adapts to every situation. She is a first class instructor, the best! May I also add the best massage I have ever had and I have had hundreds! You can tell she loves her work as it shines through in her classes and massages. She is one special lady!
