Uma Subramaniam
Master Yoga Teacher
Uma began practicing yoga at age 10 with her father, rooted in traditional principles of discipline and awareness. After over a decade working in the U.S. as an Internal Auditor, she returned to India in 2008 and dedicated herself to teaching yoga.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Yogic Sciences, is a Yoga Alliance ERYT500, RCYT (Children’s Yoga), and RPYT (Prenatal Yoga) certified teacher, and has trained across multiple traditions including Sivananda, Satyananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin, and hot yoga.
Her classes invite students to move slowly into classical practices, beginning with awareness of the spine, breath, and mind space.
Uma believes transformation can arise even from a simple 30-minute practice, and she draws on yoga, naturopathy, and Ayurveda to support holistic well-being.
With over 15 years of teaching experience, she is dedicated to helping students grow steadily in their practice and share yoga as a way of living with their families and communities.
