"There is an extraordinary movement, an awakening, occurring worldwide amongst women. It is both a yearning for, and a discovery and articulation of our own ways and practices to approach the sacred, to restore the power of the feminine. Uma Dinsmore-Tuli is one such woman stepping forward, nay compelled forward by a deep intelligence, to show us a yoga practice that is in service of women, physically, emotionally and spiritually."

Dear One,
- Do you feel disconnected from your source power, or like something vital in you has gone quiet?
- Do you feel the call to reconnect to your intuition, your vitality, your creative power and your dreams?
- Do you feel like your menstrual cycle or your peri/menopause is working against you rather than with you?
- Do you yearn for a deeper connection to the cycles of life and earth, to your ancestors, to the land, and to a community of loving hearts?
- Do you want to welcome the feminine power that is uprising at this moment in our collective evolution, and feel rooted in ancient wisdom as it resurfaces?
- Do you feel ready to step into freedom and power, and feel confident to support others to do the same?
This is a reclamation and honouring of the ancient roots of cyclical living, feminine wisdom and yoga therapy in service to the power of life in you.
Hello there!
I'm Uma Dinsmore-Tuli
Welcome Dear One,
No outer teacher can come close to the deep sense of right wisdom and understanding that flows through a woman who is absolutely and profoundly connected with her own intuitive understanding.
My passion as a writer and as a teacher is to transmit clarity of awareness, creativity and profound vitality. I identify 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.
My practice and teaching respects the cyclical powers of the living earth, and honours human life cycles as spiritual initiations, including menarche, conscious menstruation, menopause, birth and postnatal recovery.
You are so welcome here.

What you will experience:
- A true sense of coming home to yourself and being at ease in the rhythms of your body.
- A renewed trust in the wise cycles of your energy, vitality and emotions.
- A shift in vitality, and a sense of reconnection to your intuition, dreams and hopes.
- A sense of belonging and joyful community that brings a physical confidence to your daily experience.
As you dive into these practices, your perspectives will shift. You will have a more complete understanding of how everything joins up. You will come home to a clearer sense of your place in the whole, as a rematriated, cyclical, cycliterate being.
Now is the time to see the massive gaps in mainstream healthcare that women's health falls between, and to reclaim our wholeness for ourselves, for our communities, and for our land. This is our freedom, each one of us and as a collective, for humans and the more-than-human realm.
Now is the moment to grasp the keys to freedom and power, open the doors of the cages in which we have been trapped, and to share this liberation with the women and girls and yoni owners in your life, with your family, friends, clients and students.
The Six Intuitive Healing Arts
Yoni Shakti brings together Six Intuitive Healing Arts
- Radical Acts of Restfulness You learn through rest and reconnection. Total Yoga Nidra is the start of every module. Known as the yoga of sleep, it is a guided and responsive practice that facilitates conscious sacred rest. This profound relaxation technique helps you reconnect with your inner guidance and intuition, offering healing and deep mental and emotional restoration. Please note that this is not a training in how to teach yoga nidra.
- Yoni Shakti Therapeutic Yoga Gentle, rhythmic movements and therapeutic yoga practices designed to nurture the female body. These movements promote ease, strength and comfort, helping you awaken and harmonise your vital feminine energy.
- Rituals of Rematriation Honouring of the earth, ancestors and the Great Wisdom Goddesses. By integrating Rematriation into your practice, you contribute to collective healing and justice, aligning with the cycles of nature and spirituality. This includes devotions through bhakti song and kirtan.
- Cycliteracy: Cyclical Wisdom Aligning your practice with the rhythms of your life cycles, including menstruation, menopause and seasonal changes. This approach fosters harmony with the lunar and seasonal cycles, supporting your overall wellbeing as you remember how to become a cycliterate being.
- Sangha: Community Building a supportive community through circle time. This space allows for sharing, connection and mutual support, enhancing your sense of belonging and collective healing.
- Reconnection to Intuition Everything that is shared, and the way it is presented, cultivates a renewed respect for your own intuition, to help you grow in your capacity to take authentic agency, to know in your bones and blood what is best for you at each cycle of your life.

Yoni Shakti: A Woman’s Guide to Power and Freedom through Yoga and Tantra
By Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD. Illustrations by Nirlipta Tuli.
2020. Pinter & Martin.
Paperback
In this courageous and radical book, renowned yoga therapist and mother-of-three Uma Dinsmore-Tuli explores the sexual politics of yoga from the perspective that women’s spiritual transformation is the most potent revolutionary force. It includes:
- a comprehensive history section covering women’s contribution to (and exclusion from) traditional hatha yoga
- a Goddess-inspired section guiding a woman from her first period to postmenopause
- illuminating personal life stories and experiences from hundreds of women
- specially conceived, guided yoga Nidrā practices
- instructions for womb-friendly asana and pranayama practices, including restorative yoga, for every part of a woman’s life and menstrual cycle
Intimate and scholarly, irreverent and inspiring, Yoni Shakti brings womb yoga, tantra and feminism together in an astonishingly powerful combination. It is an invaluable guide for all women / womb owners and anyone who shares yoga practices with them.
The 2020 revised and updated edition of Yoni Shakti includes a lengthy new preface and previously censored material. It includes recently uncovered information about abusive yoga teachers and organisations, and an updated decolonising bibliography. The chapter on Yoga Nidrā and the ‘Note to Men, Transgender and Non-binary readers’ have been substantially edited to reflect developments since first publication.
