🪷 I recently completed 100 hours of Sound Training with

Choosing to enroll in the sound healing training with Ma Wellness was one of the best decisions I've made to expand my knowledge and skills on my teaching journey.

From the very start, it was clear that the teachers possess an incredible wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for their work. They didn't just teach us how to play instruments; they instilled in us the profound importance of using sound with intention, integrity, and respect.

The course curriculum is comprehensive and thoughtfully designed. I was fascinated by the deep dive into the history of sound and its cultural significance.

The training provided critical information on the proper use of various instruments and tools, ensuring that we understood not only the 'what,' but also the 'why' behind each technique.

The segments with on Sanskrit language and pronunciation were especially enlightening, adding a layer of authenticity and reverence to my practice and offerings.

What truly sets this training apart is how they seamlessly blend the ancient wisdom with modern science, explaining the real-world, physiological effects of sound on the body and mind.

This is more than just a training; it's a foundation for creating truly meaningful and effective sound journeys and meditations.

This sound healing training was truly transformative. It went far beyond what I expected, not only deepening my personal practice but also providing me with the comprehensive knowledge and tools needed to enrich my teachings and offerings to guide others with authenticity and confidence.

I look forward to sharing and serving our community with the addition of these new offerings. 🙏✨️

Love and Gratitude,

🪷 Hey everyone, I want to talk about something that might have been a little confusing lately—the name of our studio.

As many of you know, I've had a few names for my business over the years.

Recently, after receiving a beautiful and meaningful name from my teacher and mentor, I decided to change it to Uma Devi Collective.

It felt like a wonderful way to celebrate my lineage and spiritual path while honoring my training, devotion, and dedication.

However, after a lot of reflection, I've realized that the name Sitka and Stillness Collective truly feels like home.

It grounds my teaching in the beautiful West Coast I love so much and perfectly embodies the journey of finding stillness within, just like the strength and peace of a Sitka tree.

Since I first began teaching 12 years ago, my approach has always been rooted in elemental practices, and this name connects the outer world (Sitka-the West Coast) with the inner work of yoga (Stillness Collective), which is a beautiful metaphor for the practice itself, and with a community-focused collective.

The Sitka tree evokes a sense of balance, grounding, natural beauty, perseverance, adaptability, and a connection to the divine - representing a bridge between the Earth and the Spiritual realm.

While Stillness Collective points directly to the core benefits of yoga—finding peace, awareness, calm, quiet, wholeness, and stillness within.

I've decided to come back to this name because it feels the most authentic and connected to who I am as a teacher and the practice we share together.

The teaching you've come to know and the community we've built together are what truly matter, and that's not changing.

Thank you for your understanding and for being on this journey with me. 🙏

With Love and Gratitude,
Anne-Marie (Uma Devi) 🪷

✨️Happy birthday to my extraordinary yoga teacher, beloved mentor, and friend Ji 🙏💕

It's hard to believe it's been 13 years since I first had the honor of practicing with you, and the past 3 years of dedicated learning, 1,000 hours of YTT, and countless hours of practice under your guidance.

From those very first practices to the profound lessons that extend far beyond the mat, you've shaped my journey in ways I can't fully express.

Beyond the asanas and philosophy, you've nurtured me and so many others with the love and wisdom of a mother. You've taught us not just how to practice yoga but also how to live with intention and grace.

Our unforgettable spiritual pilgrimage of the Char Dham Yatra through the Indian Himalayas stands out as a testament to your fearless spirit and deep wisdom, a journey that changed me forever. Those memories remain etched in my soul – a profound journey of transformation.

You're more than a teacher; you're a guiding light and a constant source of inspiration. Thank you for your endless patience, unwavering support, for always seeing the best in me, and reminding me that there’s nothing I can’t do.

You are, quite simply, the embodiment of Ma. Your wisdom, your warmth, and your unwavering belief in our potential have created a sanctuary for growth.

Thank you for nurturing my spirit and illuminating my path, Pashumati 🙏 ❤️

May your birthday be as luminous and joyful as the incredible light you share with the world. ✨️🪷

With Infinite Love and Gratitude, Anne-Marie (Uma Devi)
