WHAT IS YONI STEAMING?
“Yoni” is a Sanskrit word associated with the womb, source, and origin.
Yoni steaming is a traditional practice of sitting over warm herbal steam, allowing the gentle warmth to surround your intimate area and pelvic region.
Enveloped in warmth, your awareness is invited inward — toward the intimate center of your body.
A quiet moment to slow down, feel yourself from within, and notice what is already there.
THE EXPERIENCE
Wearing a comfortable gown, you’ll sit on a specially designed steam box with an opening in the seat, allowing warm herbal steam to rise gently beneath you.
An herbal blend will be selected for your session based on your individual needs.
For 30 or 45 minutes, enjoy quiet, uninterrupted time to yourself.
There is nothing you need to do. Simply rest, feel, and notice whatever arises.

Yoni steaming has traditionally been used as a form of feminine self-care, associated with different stages of life and reproductive well-being.
The gentle warmth can bring a sense of comfort and relaxation. Some people also experience unexpected emotions during their session.

In traditional steaming practices, sessions may be scheduled before or after menstruation. The timing may vary depending on your menstrual patterns and personal circumstances.
For those trying to conceive, some traditional guidelines recommend steaming only after menstruation and before ovulation, avoiding steaming afterward due to the possibility of pregnancy.
These traditional guidelines have not been medically established as safe or effective for reproductive health. Steaming should be avoided during menstruation and pregnancy.
