Uma (Ashleigh) is Wyld’s mamma, a yogini, beloved partner, mystic, eternal student, and lover of the goddess. She has been teaching therapeutic yoga, meditation and philosophy since 2005. Uma began a dedicated self-practice at a very young age in the pursuit of healing a spinal condition. Now, emerging from a traumatic transition into motherhood: a month-long induced coma and re-learning how to walk, her fiercely loving passion, capacity, and skillset for healing through embodiment are unparalleled. Grounded in a solid foundation of ancient teachings, Uma’s offerings are a practical and comprehensive exploration of the mystical, energetic and contemplative practices of the yoga tradition.
