To be able to create the best online yoga space for yoga enthusiasts like her, Iana is constantly learning and improving her skills in various aspects of yoga philosophy, anatomy and biomechanics.

At the moment, Iana continues to work on her personal practice, improving her hand balancing skills, as well as developing her own training programs.

Digital marketer, hiker, and yogi. Vasyl started his yoga journey in 2019 when he met Iana Varshavska, also a digital marketer in love with yoga. At that time, Iana was working of launching a site about yoga for yogis, and Vasyl was thinking on launching his own site about hiking. That's when they decided to combine their interests into one big platform that would include the passion of both. That's how Yanva emerged.Now Vasyl is actively working on the development and continuous improvement of Yanva. Together with Iana they are doing their best in creating the space where everyone can feel like home.

Professional equilibrist. About 10 years of solo hand-balancing experience and more than 5 years of teaching. During this time I traveled a lot and helped hundreds of people to master different types of handbalances, conducted a number of master classes, and compiled my own program for mastering handstands. In 2023 became the ambassador of Yanva.
