Yael Shy

Rarely have I worked with a teacher who could listen to me so deeply and compassionately, and then offer such practical and accessible guidance... I am so grateful to Yael for introducing me to meditation practice, teaching me how to feel emotions in my body, and helping me navigate some difficult life passages.

Yael Shy's teachings have transformed not just my approach to mindfulness meditation, but to my everyday life. She is a dynamic and compassionate teacher, both brilliant and incredibly wise, and I've found myself drawing on her insights years after first learning from her.

Yael inspires me, how candidly she confesses to how it feels to be human: happiness juxtaposed with sadness, and a mix of emotions ranging from anxiety to jealousy and anger. She’s searching for answers, and prodding us to do the same. She shares fears about the complicated and stressful world we live in, collectively searching for coping mechanisms. She finds solace in contemplation, and invites all of us to take a special time for ourselves, focusing on our breath, allowing the thoughts that crowd our brains to rest for a little while.
