I took a 6 months guided meditation [1:1 coaching] course with Yana. Before that, I was an average overstressed professional woman with a demanding job and a teenager son. A mother and a wife, who never had time for herself. I convinced myself that I was happy and successful… However, anger at myself and frustration with everyone and everything had been slowly eating at me and my relationships. At some point, I realized I had to answer the question “Am I really happy? And further “Who am I?” So at that point, I started my discovery journey of self-realization with Yana’s help. Meditation did not come naturally to me. My monkey mind constantly took me back to my to-do list. Yana gently guided me to the lights of understanding, knowledge and simply to a “harmony within”. Now I have tools and knowledge to deal with difficult and frustration situations. I started changing and a world around me started changing as well. I am still on my life journey and I am grateful to Yana for her guidance and support to turn my life to a TRUE HAPPINESS.

I have had the pleasure of taking Yana's Evolving Consciousness Program and can honestly say it exceed my expectation in all ways! The course material is excellent and Yana presents it with gentleness, courage and wisdom. It was wonderful to be held in her beautiful energy and steadiness. Each session felt spacious and timeless! Yana was able to keep our group moving through the material while giving us individual attention, all without my ever feeling rushed in any way. I would consider myself to be fairly advanced in my meditation practice and was delighted with how much I gained from this program. I will definitely continue to study with Yana and highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to evolve and awaken.

I have always been a spiritual person, but I knew I wanted to begin a more consistent meditative practice. After taking an afternoon workshop with Yana, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. She is knowledgeable, wise and very intuitive. Through Yana’s sessions and beautiful meditations I have come away with tools to meet life’s situations in new ways. I also feel a deeper connection with my inner being that is rich and true.

Many thanks for a very inspiring course.

For me taking Yana's program was like taking off my meditation training wheels. I had done guided meditation before, and it did work to relax me in the moment, but I was unable to take greater meaning from the experience. Without deeper understanding, meditation was just a band-aid to my stress, as opposed to becoming a viable solution. Yana gave me the skills to navigate my meditation, to understand the process, and see above the turmoil of daily stress. She also taught me to find a place of rest in awareness of the present moment. With her help, I learned how to find my own guidance in meditation.

My goal in working with Yana was to become more finally attuned to myself and to bring more peace and equanimity into my life. Not only have I learned much about myself, but I have gained a peace and steadiness that has led me gracefully through a turbulent year. Yana’s intuition as she led me through the meditations was amazing… I was over and over again hearing exactly what I needed. There was never any judgment as we discussed my weeks and my work with the meditations or as issues came to light or began to shift, but often kind support and thoughtful suggestions. Her voice was soothing and made it easy to relax; I always felt safe and supported. Not only did I learn much about meditation and the nature of existence, but I discovered much about myself and many new tools to navigate the ups and downs of life. Yana is a gifted teacher and her passion for her work is apparent in all she offers to those with whom she works. I offer my highest recommendations to anyone interested in this kind of study and exploration.
