Yahuna emerged from my own life experiences. I sought a way to live healthily and happily with myself.
​
The meaning of the word Yahuna is a combination of 'Ya' from Thai, which means 'yes', a positive affirmation, and 'Huna' from Hawaiian, which means 'secret'.
I chose the name myself for this project.
Yahuna:
'Yes', I will see who I really am. 'Yes', I want to discover more of what I truly enjoy doing. 'Yes', I eagerly want to find a way to live more honestly with myself. And 'Yes', I want to find a place where I feel good and valued within the larger whole. Yes, I find it pleasant and fulfilling to feel safe and familiar with the people I interact with. Yes, I trust in the universal energy that is accessible to everyone and inexhaustible.
It is a combination of:
​
-
Traditional bodywork (sports, physiotherapy, fascia therapy, martial arts)
-
Simple meditation techniques (including vipassana from Buddhist teachings)
-
Breathing exercises
-
Yoga/chakra theory
-
Building strength from within (aimed at stability of the spine, based on kine exercises & martial arts)
-
Dance (important in feeling of free movement, body awareness and head & body cooperation)
-
Learning to connect with yourself, others, your environment and the bigger picture
-
Relaxation & touching soul and heart through vibes from Hawaii.
-
The 'power of the now', based on techniques by E.Tolle
The goal is to:
​
-
Get back in touch with your body
-
Learn to deal with emotions
-
to feel the pleasure of what you are doing
-
Calm your mind
-
Give your heart space to learn to trust
-
Let creativity flow
-
Bring out the best of yourself
-
Broaden your mind & regain your focus
-
Help you discover your own mysteriousness
-
Be able to deal more calmly with transitions in daily life
The form:​
This is an active practice where you perform the exercises yourself.
​
The sequence of exercises is designed to remove a superficial layer of tension and rigidity, allowing a deeper core layer of softness and strength to emerge.
This will help you feel lighter, calmer, and more powerful.
