Description

In this episode of The Art of Connection, Yana reflects on the unexpected parallels between strength training and working with clay. At first glance they seem worlds apart; one rooted in sweat, movement, and resistance, the other in earth, stillness, and form. Yet both invite us to centre ourselves, breathe with intention, honour good form over force, and embrace the steady rhythm of learning through repetition. From the kiln’s slow transformation to the body’s response to resistance, Yana explores how strength and softness coexist, reminding us that growth comes not from rushing, but from showing up, listening deeply, and allowing the right kind of pressure to shape us.
