YONI SHAKTI

Well Woman Yoga Therapy Teacher Training

with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Sivani Mata Francis

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.
