07/26/23 • 50 min

Uma Dinsmore-Tuli co-founder of the Yoga Nidra Network, is a fierce proponent of rest in the form of yoga nidra, founder of the Yoni Shakti movement to end the abuse of women and girls in yoga, and author of many books including the comprehensive Yoni Shakti: a Woman's Guide to Power and Freedom Through Yoga and Tantra which is thankfully available again after a long break.

You'll hear

How Uma was silenced by people who did not want her to share the truth about abuse in yoga
How her fierce spirit guided her through dark times,
How the clarity, direction and truth seeing of her menopause guided her
The self-care and nourishment that saw her through
An insiders peak into the publishing industry and the reality of a writer's living

This is a compelling story of the power of menopause transition to create change for good.

Inside the compassionate lens with Leticia Valverdes

Leticia Valverdes is a prize-winning photographer whose work starts with deep listening. Published in The Telegraph, The Guardian amongst others, she’s also well-known for her community work with indigenous people, especially women and girls. Leticia’s commercial work includes personal branding for organisations and heart-led businesses in the UK and Portugal and also documenting retreats and rites of passage.

I particularly wanted to talk to her about the way she uses the process of image-making for healing, especially with mothers and with older women. We explored:

How a compassionate gaze might change body image
The effect of Tictoc and Instagram on the way we see ourselves
Play and magical realism in photography
The mighty power of perimenopause to create change
Leticia’s process of connecting with collaborators – more than looking
