Yana guides like she lives: with dedication, curiosity and joy. In both her art and work, the freedom to experience, experiment and explore follows form a solid and intentional foundation. Her teachings are distilled from a wide array of lived experience and formal training that are based in paradigms from the West and from the East: she holds a BSc in Clinical Psychology, a MSc in Methodology and Statistics and is also trained in Yoga, Tantra and Taoism. She has been teaching since 2007, in varying fields. Yana loves the paradoxical nature of life, actively seeking contrasts and welcoming the beauty which underlies that which tends to be seen as ‘ugly’ or ‘undesirable’. She bridges the subtle to the tangible: by giving pragmatic and practical tools that help you integrate thinking, feeling and being. Yana empowers you to overcome internalised judgements and live your most authentic expression, all while honouring your own pace.
Yana facilitates in both Dutch and English. Most of her events have a strong non-verbal component: embodiment is central to her approach. Her offer is as versatile as she is: She facilitates playful workshops about once a month at her home venue “Cordium” in Nijmegen; teaches a weekly online yoga class (in Dutch) for Amada; and is also part of the core team of the Nijmegen branch of “Freedive Community“, where she organises, hosts and facilitates workshops on conscious kink and sensuality. She also facilitates workshops on demand for friend groups, business teams, festivals or communities.
