What participants say
- I had a magical experience at the group Body Mind class with Yana. Imagine meeting a group of people you've never met before, and the next moment you are transforming into a curious child, playing carefree with your friends, being present and focused, and exploring again that lost connection between your mind and body. I could finally abstract from the everyday stress and be myself. I love how that feeling is still lasting after the class and I cannot wait for the next one.
- I had an incredible experience. The partner exercises helped me catch the rhythm of my partner, and these exercises also helped me find my inner focus. By the end of the session, my body felt very light and relaxed. In the moment, I could literally feel my brain working. I feel like I experienced creativity through my body.
- Yana, I just want to say a huge thank you! I am absolutely thrilled by how, with elements of play, you can connect your body and mind and get the most out of this interaction. It's so cool to really feel your body and understand its movements and sensations. I will highly recommend this class to others - it's an experience that makes you feel more connected and in tune with yourself!
- Yana's Mind Body method is really something I haven't experienced before! It felt like a meditation, but through movement. The kind of lightness, freedom, and peace of mind you feel after the session are truly remarkable. At the same time, the exercises are also physical and leave you sweating. I'd recommend checking Yana's classes for anyone who is looking for relaxation!
