Presence & Connection
Workshop
Sunday, July 2nd, from 1-7pm
at YOGA DESA, 120 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd, Suite 103, Topanga, CA 90290
$145
An embodied, immersion workshop for professional coaches, therapists, and anyone else for whom the qualities of Presence and Connection are deemed vital and essential in their lives.
PRESENCE: being fully present in the here and now, in body, mind, and spirit. A pre-requisite to true connection with another being.
CONNECTION: 1) connection with self. 2) connection with other(s). 3) connection with the creative life force.
In this safe and sacred container, we will play with various expressive modalities including improvisational theatre games, movement, sound, and storytelling — all designed to cultivate a state of what I call “relaxed readiness.” In this flow state of creative mindfulness, where one is totally present and connected with their environment, one can dance more freely and from a more grounded, loving place, with whatever life (or our client, or our partner) throws at us.
Practice being more comfortable with the discomfort of the unknown. Practice trusting your innate wisdom and guidance in the moment. After all, life is improvisation — raw, unscripted, real.
No experience in any of the expressive modalities is required. Come and play and be messy and human. Let’s have fun!
Maximum number of participants is 15, to ensure personal attention and space.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Thank you again for the wonderful workshop. It has left me with a sincere optimism… The weekend helped me to recenter my focus and recall why I’m here, to realize myself in order to listen to others and access what I can give. To connect with the myriad of stories people have to share, without getting lost in my own wants, dramas and complaints. Thank you, Yuriana, for the extraordinary, rich conversations and opportunity to connect with others through growth.

…We then dove courageously deeper into the layers of the onion, as a group, head first-into connection, deep listening and serenity. Yuriana was instrumental in leading us through these waves and layers of intention. She was inviting, loving and compassionate through to the last breath of our time together. Her investment to this work, to our experience was so inspiring and strong that it allowed us to truly feel supported as we let go into our consciousness. To feel the freedom and safety to come back to ourselves, our truths, and what it means to truly be alive. The experience was worth every penny and every minute. Thank you will never be enough, Yuriana.

I cannot stop talking about the workshop, about Yuriana’s teaching method which is so gracious and tailored to each individual’s level of experience.
– Su Castillo
Yuriana’s workshop is extraordinary. It felt to me as if the cork, which was holding my true essence inside, had been removed. For several days after the workshop, I felt as if something bigger, wiser and higher was expressing through me, allowing that which was present in me to be revealed with spontaneity and serendipity. The result was an amazing sense of self-awareness through incredible metaphors and symbolisms, which applied perfectly in so many areas of my life. I felt empowered by such awarenesses. I also experienced a higher state of clarity and discernment as to what is important to me and the next steps for me to take at this time.

I have been coached by Yuriana a number of times both individually and in a group setting. Yuriana is a wonderful facilitator and coach and she creates a warm, safe and supportive environment within which to work and play. Without being strict or stern, Yuriana has nurtured and encouraged me to move beyond my comfort zone, which is necessary for any real development and growth. She has encouraged me to move towards the heart of the matter, as it were, and this is allowing my self confidence and abilities to grow and flourish.
