About Uma
a yoga teacher from Nepal, now living in Finland.
Yoga has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Nepal, yoga, meditation and spirituality were a natural part of everyday life. I later built a career in environmental and sustainability research, working in both Nepal and Finland. Through all these chapters, yoga continued to be a meaningful thread in my journey.
Today, I share yoga in a way that feels approachable, grounded and relevant to everyday life while staying connected to the traditional roots of yoga.

What students say
"I had one-on-one yoga sessions with Uma during my chemotherapy treatment, and those sessions were incredibly helpful to me. During one of the most difficult periods of my life, she didn't just help me keep moving physically, she supported me wholeheartedly with so much patience, care, and understanding. During our sessions, I never felt intimidated or pressured to "perform" or push myself. She always made me feel that it was okay to simply be where I was that day. She checks in with me to ask how I was feeling, whether a particular movement felt doable or difficult, and whether I needed to slow down or modify something. She really pays attention and that made me feel safe and supported, especially during a time when my body was going through so much. She went above and beyond yoga by introducing me to sound baths and breathwork exercises, which helped calm my mind and brought me a sense of peace. Those breathwork exercises also helped me combat anxiety outside my yoga mat. I never felt that she was doing this simply because it was her work. I genuinely felt that she cared about me as a person and truly wanted to support me through what I was going through. Thank you Uma for the time and support you gave me. Our sessions helped me feel stronger, calmer, and more connected to myself when I needed it most."
"I had tried to make yoga part of my life for almost 10 years, but I could never stay consistent. Practising with Uma changed that. Her online classes fit naturally into my busy life as a working mum, and yoga has become my little time to pause, breathe and reconnect with myself. I really value how Uma listens and remembers the little things, adapting the practice with genuine care. Her teaching is gentle, calming and never rushed. After almost two years, I still look forward to practising with her every single week, yoga no longer feels like another task, but something I truly practice for myself."
"After long days of work and staring at my laptop, stepping onto the mat with Uma has become my favourite way to unwind. Her guidance through pranayama, mindful movement, Yoga Nidra, restorative yoga and sound baths has helped me slow down, sleep better and reconnect with myself. Uma's teaching is gentle, thoughtful and encouraging. She has a wonderful way of making you feel supported while helping you build a consistent practice. And her chanting sessions are simply beautiful. Her voice is incredibly soothing. I've learned so much from her, both on and beyond the mat. Her classes and retreats have created a space where I can breathe deeper, laugh more, rest better and simply be. I'm so grateful to be part of this journey. ❤️"
"Uma is such a wonderful yoga teacher. I've been practising with her for four years now, and she has always been kind, patient and genuinely caring. Her guidance and encouragement make every session feel comfortable and uplifting, and I always leave feeling supported and more connected with myself. I'm truly grateful to have her as my teacher and for the warmth and positive energy she brings into my life. ✨❤️"
"I've always thrived on routine, and as I entered my mid-30s, I wanted to prioritise my physical and mental wellbeing. A mutual friend recommended Uma, and after following her work on Instagram, I joined her classes. Nada Yoga and the asana practice are my favourites. Even after a long day at work, her classes leave me feeling light, refreshed and energised. Beyond the mat, I've become more mindful of my posture and have learned to prioritise myself and let go. I highly recommend her classes to everyone. ❤️"
