13: Cultivating Loving Presence Ft. Yanna Romano
In Episode 13 of the Aligned Living podcast, Yanna Roman shares her transformative journey, reflecting on her upbringing in Cape Town influenced by her parents' unique backgrounds. Her father's anti-institutional stance and her mother's introduction of spirituality and ritual created a distinctive environment.
Yanna's self-discovery journey began when she turned to yoga after a turbulent period. She faced challenges, including a decade-long struggle with bulimia, stemming from her parents' separation during high school. Through yoga, she rebuilt trust within herself, providing a sanctuary to reconnect with her body and integrate fragmented parts of herself. Art served as a creative outlet to work with emotions and contradictions.
Her yoga journey led her to become a teacher, fostering spaces for people to respond to life rather than escape from it.
Yanna highlights the importance of not departing from one's body or numbing emotions but building the capacity to feel and connect with life's challenges.She emphasizes the value of grounding tools like yoga, meditation, conscious dance, and art, and the clarity and connection found in nature, particularly wild spaces.
Yanna passionately explores conscious dance, as it offers a unique opportunity to express emotions freely. She discusses the interplay between different embodiment practices, highlighting the balance between structure and free-flowing movement.Yanna's journey is a testament to the transformative potential of mindfulness and embodiment practices, leading to wholeness and alignment with a cosmic perspective through self-forgiveness.
