“Bana is an excellent teacher! Their teaching style is supportive, gentle, and very focused. I learned a lot from Bana's 'Free Breath' workshop and have been able to apply these techniques to my freediving journey. The improvements in my relaxation, breathing and the incorporation of useful stretches have been incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this...to anyone looking to enhance their mindfullness and breathing techniques. Thank you Bana!”

"We got married in 2023. Bana did an incredible job of helping us craft a queer ceremony that reflected our own community, values and understandings of love, commitment and marriage. We trusted them a lot and benefited so much from their knowledge of ritual, their ability to help us reflect deeply about the meaning of the day, and their enthusiasm and love for what we were doing. They supported us in planning the shape of the ceremony, wrote absolutely beautiful words about love and relationships, and held space for our wedding on the day. They brought wonderful energy to everything - real, warm, grounded, generous and welcoming. We would warmly recommend Bana as a space holder and ritual maker for anyone seeking a day grounded in authenticity, spirituality, truth and love."

“Whenever I have had the opportunity to work with Bana I have found a place of wholly accepting warmth and encouragement, sturdily backed by trauma-informed practice. I would (and have been) honoured to trust Bana in any number of space-holding roles, from birth-doula to breath workshop or sharing circle facilitator. I have found their guidance, wisdom, and openhearted presence an absolute taonga (treasure).”

"Bana is an embodied yoga teacher who has an intuitive sense and capacity to hold space for my emotions as they come up while we worked through some yoga poses. It can be overwhelming to reconnect with our bodies, as they keep the score, and I found my work with Bana gave me a safe container to do this and let the stored emotions come up and move through. Thank you.”
