Uma Lescault
Uma has been studying Yoga in all its forms under the guidance of her Gurus every day since she moved to Sat Manav Yoga Ashram at age 10, and she has been teaching Yoga for nearly as long. Yoga is not just her “passion”—it is her entire life. She has intensively studied and practiced Yogic spiritual sadhana (meditation, asanas, pranayamas, mudras and scripture) and also Yogic music, dance, mantras, Sanskrit chanting, mehndi art and more, all at the feet of her Guru in a traditional Guru-disciple relationship. Her greatest passion is sharing the transformational power of Yoga with all!
