* Sri Mata is my home studio in Maplewood, MO. In 2005, I converted my garage into a lovely Yoga Studio. It has been the site of many meditation retreats, kirtans, workshops, shamanic journeys, women’s circles, pujas, Divine Mother events, Thai Yoga Massages, and, of course, Yoga classes. With the trees, birds, sun and rain so close, the environment feels so nurturing, sweet and sacred. Please contact me for the location!
