Author Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD is an advocate for intuition and rematriation. She met yoga in 1969, at the age of four, and fell in love. She’s been practicing ever since, sharing cyclical, therapeutic yoga since 1994. Co-Founder of the Yoga Nidra Network, she also trains specialist teachers in Total Yoga Nidra and Yoni Shakti Yoga Therapy for menstrual and menopausal health, pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery.
Uma has written six books, including Nidra Shakti: the Power of Rest - An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidra and Yoni Shakti: A Woman's Guide to Power and Freedom through Yoga and Tantra.
Recovering intuitive embodied and cyclical wisdom is at the heart of her writing and her approach to yoga therapy.
Uma’s passion as a writer and as a teacher is to transmit clarity of awareness, creativity and profound vitality. She identifies these teachings as radical acts of rematriation, rooted in intuitive arts and in yoga tantra, drawing on a variety of yogic traditions to share deeply nourishing and enlivening practices appropriate for contemporary life.
