Welcome to the Timeless Teachings podcast. My name is Yana and I am your guide into the world of spirituality, mysticism and consciousness.

I will give you time-tested and highly effective tools to realize your highest potential and discover love, happiness, fulfillment, joy and abundance in daily life. We will illuminate all major aspects of a human evolution: mind, body, soul, relationship, parenting, business, health, death, sexuality, yoga, tantra, marriage, education, healing, awakening and enlightenment.

Each episode we dive into deep and often controversial subjects. This space is for people who are brave and who are ready. The guests are encouraged to speak their minds and hearts freely and share their most authentic life experiences, teachings and realizations.

Spirituality is not about the religion, it is about a conscious daily living, where as a human being you are functioning at your highest physical, emotional, mental and energetical potential. Mysticism is the foundation of life itself, all the teachings that are sacred, true and often hard to find. All believers and non-believers are welcome to join us on this path of Awakening into our True Nature.

I am doing it, because I have been on the journey of spiritual and personal development for more than 30 years, and I feel that now is the time for all of us to come together and illuminate the truth. Make yourself comfortable and get ready for a deep dive into Mind, Body and Soul. Let’s create a world that celebrates wisdom, compassion, equality, and love!

Get yourself a cup of tea, keep your mind open and get ready for a deep dive into the Truth.
