Yana Kazbekova (ERYT 200 - RYT 500) was drawn to yoga in her native Russia when, as a teenager, she was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. That set up her constant focus on keeping her body and mind functioning healthily. Since young age, Yana has been traveling and living in different parts of the world, learning yoga and meditation with teachers from Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, India and United States. Yana is recognized by Yoga Alliance as an Experienced Yoga Teacher. She brings to her classes more than 20 years of multicultural yoga background, different spiritual and yoga traditions. In Yana’s classes you will find a bit of seriousness, a touch of humor and a perfect balance between the exercise and the reasons behind the practice. You will take home simple, free and always available tools that aid you on your way towards body – mind – soul balance, commonly known as HEALTH! Yana conducts her classes in fluent English, Russian and Spanish.

“I was born in Siberia and spent a big part of my life traveling to different parts of Russia, Mexico and the US, learning yoga and yoga philosophy. If you asked me who my teacher was, I couldn't name just one person. Mentioning renowned names would diminish the value of all other authentic sources of wisdom I found during the decades of my yogic journey. Every person is a Teacher to me, because every person I come across with gives me a unique lesson. Having lived in three countries and grown in multinational environments, I was lucky to learn yoga from different cultural perspectives. On my way, I've met a number of great teachers, have read a number of books, have gone through several life and health challenges, completed thousands of hours of yoga training and have certain knowledge under my belt. All this is what I am and all this is what I'm here to share with you. Technically, what happens in my yoga classes is a mixture of explanation and practice of pranayama, asanas, meditation and relaxation. However, if you are looking for a competitive, intense, "who-does-it-better" type of environment, my classes are not right for you.

What most of my students come to me for is the Magic of inner exploration and transformation. Every lesson is a gradual, ascendant discovery of your true beauty. Going gently and accurately, I teach about your innate healing capacity, creating a space for you to feel safe, uninhibited and free. The key word here would be "Being". There is no syllabus to follow. The inspiration starts to flow once I stand in front of the group. It doesn't come from me, but goes through me, to address the need of every person: a beginner or an experienced yogi. I am not attached to any yoga style in particular. Real yoga doesn't know such a thing as a style. It's just yoga and it is vast. It is not about style, but confident and disciplined practice. So, I invite you to transcend the limitations of the style and embark to a journey back to your very being...”
