Practice Room
In-person spaces to connect, express, and feel more human — together.
What is practice Room?
Practice Room is a series of in-person workshops and events where we drop the masks, slow down, and reconnect — with ourselves and each other.
Some are playful. Some are tender. All are real.
Beyond small talk
Step past the surface and into real connection. Through playful Authentic Relating games, you’ll practice honesty, curiosity, and deep listening — and experience what it’s like to be fully seen without performance.
Honest communication workshops
Learn to speak your truth with care, set loving boundaries, and offer empathy without losing yourself. These NVC-based sessions bring clarity, courage, and connection into everyday conversations.
The format
- Face-to-face events on Madeira
- Mix of Authentic Relating games & Nonviolent Communication-inspired practices
- Sessions last 1.5–2.5 hours
- Open to all — no prior experience needed
- Limited spots to keep the space intimate and alive
You’ll walk away with
- A sense of what safe, honest connection feels like
- New language for your needs, boundaries, and truth
- The lived experience of being heard — and hearing others — deeply
- Greater trust in your voice, your presence, and your emotional clarity
- And maybe… a few new people who truly get you
Here’s what people have experienced in this space — in their own words.
Testimonials
Vitor
Yana’s work had a deep impact on me. Her natural and beautiful approach put me in contact with something I had forgotten is very important to me: being vulnerable, authentic. It’s a very important step in our inner evolution because we can’t grow without starting from where we are, from what is real. And her work is exactly that: authentic, it connects you to what is real, and in that process you find the most beautiful freedom, the freedom to be who you are, and to align yourself with the natural flow of life 🙏

Great workshop to engender interest in nonviolent communication and make your first steps in this topic. Yana was very open during the session what helped us to get in the right mood. The workshop had a very safe atmosphere that allowed us to immerse ourselves when we did the exercises. I left with several pleasant insights after the workshop.
