In today’s episode, we dive into a rich and inspiring conversation with yoga teacher Uma Subramaniam. Uma shares her journey from growing up in India—where yoga was a natural part of daily life—to her years in the U.S. financial industry, and ultimately, to rediscovering her calling as a lifelong student and teacher of yoga. Through her story, Uma beautifully illustrates how yoga is not just a practice, but a way of being—one that guides her understanding of purpose, balance, and self-awareness.

In this episode, we explore:

Uma designs her classes to work slowly into classical practices beginning with awareness to spine, breath and the mind space. “I like my students to experience transformation with even a simple 30 minute practice”. She considers herself still a student, a teacher and therapist, a believer in yoga, naturopathy, ayurveda and natural, holistic and wholesome treatment of the human body and mind. Her happiness and satisfaction lies in her students improving steadily and in having strengthened their interest and belief in yoga, and holistic treatment of their body and mind. She is happiest when she is also able to encourage them to inculcate this new-found way of living among their family and friends.

With experiential knowledge of different schools of yoga (Sivananda, Satyananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin and hot yoga), and having watched the yoga industry bloom around the world and particularly in Bangalore, Uma helps lead your way to the many options and offerings yoga has for the discerning seeker.

At the start of Season 3 on Tend Her Wild, astrologer and coach Cathy Pagano talked about 2025 as a year of endings and beginnings.  Today Kate and Betsy get personal and reflect on a moment in Iceland 4 years ago when they both had an inkling of something hard they were going to have to face.  Kate faced her challenge 2 years ago that we discussed in Episode 44, and now Betsy is facing her challenge.  We had no idea where this conversation would go, but feel it is an exploration into honesty, nudges from the soul, and surrender.

Today’s interview was both eye opening and fascinating as we interviewed Ginette Biro, a medium (someone who can see, hear, and communicate with spirits on the other side).  We hear about her journey of opening into these gifts, and a near death experience she had at 2019 that encouraged her to step up and show more of her wisdom and perspective.

In today’s episode we: 

Bio:  

Ginette Biro s a powerful medium who is clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient and claircognizant. She can hear, see, feel and know information from spirit and other dimensions. Since Ginette was a child, she has been channeling beings from the 4th to 12th dimensions, connecting people to the other side and bringing messages to inspire and inform our world. Ginette has many spirit guides and ascended masters and beings who are guiding her to support the planet in its ascension. In addition to these remarkable gifts, she has spent soul time on the other side through a near death experience. This allowed her to see and understand how our life blueprint and soul’s journey actually works.

We reviewed the Heroine’s Journey that we talked about in Episode 60, and took it a little deeper today after exploring this beautiful methodology for a full week on a recent retreat in Greece.  There are many steps on the Heroine’s Journey (see book by Maureen Murdock), but today we dive into the step called “Descent to the Goddess” and what this actually means.   Our conversation processes the retreat and what we both learned, as well as the lessons of several women who attended.

Today we discuss:

The Heroine’s Journey is a book written by Dr. Maureen Murdock based on her understanding the feminine version of the Hero’s Journey as articulated by Jospeh Campbell in The Hero with A Thousand Faces.

In today’s episode, we dive into The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—a timeless guide to personal freedom and transformation. As we prepare for our upcoming retreat in Greece with 44 incredible women, we explore how these four agreements can serve as a foundation for group connection, compassion, and authentic living.

Together, we imagine what it would be like if our culture truly lived by these principles—and how much more kind, peaceful, and loving the world could become.
