This is Yaz, author of the newsletter.

Yaz Kolankaya Ihlamur’s academic education was in international relations with a focus on philosophy and anthropology. She did her initial yoga teacher training in Bali with the Sacred Fig, followed by specialized trainings in yoga philosophy, meditation, nervous system regulation, and Organic Intelligence. She’s also working towards her Katonah Yoga certification, which heavily inspires her teaching and life. She weaves these diverse streams of knowledge seamlessly into her writing and teaching.

Yaz currently teaches public classes infused with the seasonal themes explored in the newsletter at multiple studios in Seattle, WA.
