What is Yoni Steaming?

Yoni steaming is the female self-care practice of allowing warm herbal steam to permeate the tissues of the vulva and the womb space by kneeling, squatting or sitting above a pot of freshly boiled water steeped with specialized herbs. Yoni Steaming has ancestral roots from all over the world dating back centuries.

Purpose:

to promote fertility, to cleanse the reproductive system, to quicken healing after childbirth, to shift womb imbalances, clear unwanted energy (past experiences), cultivate deeper relationship to the divine feminine within, tap into Shakti, nurture re-connection to the body, connect to the womb’s wisdom as a creative and intuitive force in our lives.

The deep intention is preventative support and strengthening your connection to yourself. The practice is meant to be empowering, affirming, and insightful.

Holding Space:

As you sit on the wooden steam box you invite the herbal oils to soak into your tissues.

The Honey Hive is a space in-which you can show up as yourself, let the mask down, be raw, and authentic. All emotions and feelings are welcome.

What does Yoni mean?

The word yoni is a Sanskrit term for the female reproductive organs including the vulva and vagina. This highly revered term in Hinduism recognizes the power of the goddess and the origin of life. The word yoni literally translates to mean womb, sacred space, source and divine passage. Yoni steaming is also referred to as vaginal steaming and V steaming in the West. In Korea, yoni steaming is known as chai-yok, in Central and South American cultures it is known as bajos and in Ayurvedic medicine, yoni steaming is traditionally called yoni swedana.

Revive & Thrive with Yoni Steaming

The self-care ritual of yoni steaming allows women to take the time to honor their reproductive system, connect with the strength of their female ancestral lineage, heal collective female trauma and revitalize their life force energy. When a woman steams her yoni, she is able to naturally and intentionally create space for old energy to be released and new energy and vitality to be received. May this centuries-old herbal practice help to bring health, mindfulness, empowerment, self-love and sacredness into the lives of all women everywhere and a loving peace into their hearts.
