The Weave of Wholeness with Dr Yamuna
A 5-Day Immersive Wellness Program weaving together Holistic Therapies & Embodied Wisdom for Balanced Living.
Together we explore and weave together the complex connection between Body, Energy, Emotions and Mind with educational workshops and integrative practices, including Clinical Somatics, Yoga Therapy, Yin restoration, Self-massage, Body reading, correcting mis-alignment, Myofascial roll and release, acupressure, Breathing practices, Nervous System Regulation, Mind and Emotion cultivating practices, group reflection and sharing.
Healing can be approached from many angles, or even better, from all angles.
When sickness prevails, a multi-dimensional shift has often permeated across all layers of our being, shifting our life and reality. Take depression for example. Many believe it to be a ‘disease’ of the mind caused by neurochemical changes, yet this research-based reductive view of cause and effect is far from the actuality of a pervasive imbalance that occurs across our whole being and life. The cause is never so pinpoint or straightforward and it often involves an entire shift across our being, including a shift in one’s body posture, myofascial and physical expression, a shift in one’s lifestyle, daily activities and diet choices, a shift in one’s breath mechanics, a shift in the subtle energy system and organ function, a shift in one’s outlook, feeling and perceptions… and a shift in one’s life path.
Because the shifts pervade across all layers, we can learn to recognise the imbalances ourselves and actively address and re-align before they become chronic, fixed and disease-producing. The wonderful thing about Wholism is that with this knowledge of interconnectedness, we can target well-being from any angle… from the perspective of body, breath, energy, feeling, mind, emotions, relationships, diet, habit and lifestyle and therapy on all these levels will help to bring balance back to our whole being regardless of the perceived cause of the ‘disease’.

PROFILE
Yamuna’s path in yoga began over two decades ago, in 2002. What started as a personal practice has since blossomed into a life-long dedication to the holistic science of yoga. With an E-RYT 500 certification from Yoga Alliance International, she has been teaching since 2015, blending her unique expertise as both a healer and a guide.
Before immersing fully in the world of yoga, Yamuna spent 11 years training as a medical doctor in the UK, specializing in Radiology. Her medical journey has given her a profound and unparalleled understanding of the human body. From dissecting cadavers to interpreting complex imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, she has seen the intricacies of anatomy, physiology, and disease from every angle. This in-depth knowledge has shaped her approach to yoga—where every posture, every breath, is informed by a keen understanding of the body’s inner workings.
Yet, it wasn’t until she delved deeper into yoga, meditation, breathwork, and energy healing that Yamuna completed the picture of human health. Her medical background intertwined with her deepening connection to the subtle body—the energetic, emotional, and spiritual layers we all carry within. This fusion of science and spirituality allows her to offer a practice that truly honours the whole self.
For the last decade, Yamuna has lived a nomadic life, sharing her teachings across the globe. From Europe to Australia, Thailand to Bali, and India, she has facilitated retreats, workshops, and teacher training programs that inspire transformation. Her understanding of both the tangible and intangible aspects of health infuses each of her offerings with an intuitive sensitivity that deeply resonates with her students.
In her teachings, Yamuna draws from a vast well of practices: Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Restorative, Yin, Somatics, Iyengar, Breathwork, Kriya, Pranayama, Meditation, and trauma awareness. Every class is designed to meet students where they are—whether they seek strength, healing, or spiritual growth. She ensures that each practice is not only relevant but also profoundly nurturing and balancing.
More recently, Yamuna’s connection to the Bhakti tradition has deepened. Throughout the pandemic, she offered community Kirtan in India, using devotional chanting to open hearts and cultivate trust and faith—the healing medicine of the soul.
