People are often pigeon holed into 'neat' categories, which are based on old patriarchal systems designed to create dominance and control over CIS and Trans women.
This system of oppressive hierarchy erases the multifaceted individuality of each individual, their emotional, physical, psychological, sexual and spiritual needs. Ultimately making the world a smaller and less interesting place for us all.
In our conversation we discuss discrimination in healthcare based on gender and race and how our society is changing to accommodate better inclusivity and awareness.
We also discuss the difference between 'women' and 'female' from a biological perspective and from a socially constructed viewpoint, aka the choice of how we identify ourselves and explore the research and dialogue which is needed to rectify the imbalance, perception and assumption that continues to surround us.

In this episode Dawn Lister and Daniel Groom are joined by special guest Uma Dinsmore Tuli to discuss Yoga Nidra for community support, social justice and planetary healing. It's a great listen and designed to inspire us all.
Uma was first introduced to yoga at the age of four by her mother and began meditating at nine on a pilgrimage with her maternal grandmother. Yoga and meditation have been part of her daily life ever since. As a naturally curious and enquiring yogini, she has engaged passionately and critically with a variety of quite different schools of yoga, most especially Satyananda Yoga and Iyengar Yoga.
After completing the Yoga Biomedical Trust Diploma in Yoga Therapy in 1999, Uma has continued to find the fully integrated approach of yoga therapy to be the most practical route to the healing power of yoga. She further trained in Structural Yoga Therapy and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy with Mukunda Stiles, and works as a yoga therapist with special expertise in women’s health. Uma has a PhD in Communications and is a recognised teacher of the British Wheel of Yoga. She has been a training tutor in Yoga Therapy since 2001 and also teaches British Wheel of Yoga In-service training days. As a mother of three, she has been both personally and professionally engaged with the development of pregnancy yoga, yoga for birth and postnatal recovery, and family yoga, and has been training teachers in this field since 2002, when she first tutored for the Birthlight Trust. Since then she has delighted in creating her own courses to promote excellence of teaching in this field, including Well Woman Yoga and a uniquely responsive Integrated Mother and Baby yoga teacher training. With the intention of widening access to pregnancy and postnatal yoga, she founded Sitaram Yoga with her husband in 1998, and it continues to offer pregnancy and postantal yoga classes in London, including at King’s College and St Thomas’s hopsitals.
The heart of Uma’s daily personal and therapeutic practice is yoga nidra, which she believes to be the most powerfully transformative of all yoga techniques. She first encountered the technique at the Satyananda Yoga Centre in 1995, and has been exploring all aspects of it with fascination ever since. She has studied a variety of different approaches to the practice both in India and the UK, with nationally renowned exponents including Swami Muktidharma (Satyananda Acharya, New Zealand), Mukunda Stiles, and Richard Miller. She has refined a range of particularly feminine therapeutic applications of yoga nidra, including its use for the promotion of fertility, positive birthing, postnatal recovery and conscious menstrual health a source of spiritual empowerment. She has taught yoga nidra to hundreds of people, in every conceivable environment, from nursery schools, hospitals and airports, to giant geodesic domes filled with yogis sheltering from wild storms at yoga festivals and gatherings. She has been sharing the technique with teachers from all lineages on Yoga Therapy training courses and retreats since 1999.
Uma leads retreats and courses worldwide, sharing the approach to yoga therapy set out in her CDs, DVDs and books: Mother’s Breath, Teach Yourself Yoga for Pregnancy and Birth, and Feel Confident: Yoga for Living. Her latest book Yoni Shakti is about the evolution of feminine spiritual authority through yoga and tantra. Uma is currently refining Womb Yoga through a series of international workshops and retreats.

The event has been running for 10 years and has now raised in excess of £100,000 for the charity. In June last year, due to the devastating effects of both the Covid-19 pandemic and a super-cyclone which hit Kolkata in May, the event went virtual with classes running online via Zoom. Simon, Ruth and Vikki were due to be taking their second yoga trip to Kolkata this January, raising further much needed funds for HOPE. Due to the ongoing pandemic this trip has had to be postponed, but they have decided instead to again bring some of the UK’s best loved yoga teachers directly to your homes as part of Yoga for HOPE offering yoga classes throughout January.

In this podcast episode, in conversation with Jo Kemp, we discuss what Ashtanga Yoga is, the influence of her teacher Hamish Hendry at Ashtanga Yoga London and the recent abuse revelations in the Ashtanga world and how Jo has put foundations in place to support and heal her community. Jo is pregnant with her first child in this episode and talks about how she has leaned into her community for support and her amazing self care plan!
Jo is the co-owner of the new yoga shala Ashtanga Yoga Essex in Hockley. Ashtanga Yoga Essex is on a beautiful plot of land, surrounded by oak trees. The shala was hand built by her partner Mikey and father Mike as well as student volunteers. The build was mostly funded by students, friends and family of AYE. Jo has been a yoga practitioner for over 15 years after finding yoga in India when she was just 16 years old. Jo believes her daily ashtanga yoga practice has been a valuable tool in living a healthy, peaceful and balanced life, opening more doors than anything else. Because of this she has much passion and enthusiasm for sharing this practice and growing like minded communities.
Connect with Jo Kemp of Ashtanga Yoga Essex by emailing Hello@ashtangayogaessex.co.uk, visiting ashtangayogaessex.co.uk or by following her on Instagram at @ashtangayogaessex or @jojoyoga.
