About
Yael Hochenberg
Yael is a trained, experienced Transformational Breath® Group Workshop Leader and 1:1 practitioner, also a trauma-informed somatic educator through movement, dance and bodywork.
Based in the Stroud area of Gloucestershire, she also leads workshops and events throughout the country, as an experienced practitioner in the embodied practices of Dance and Breathwork.
Yael has been practising holistic and alternative therapies for over 30 years and has trained to Group Leader level with Founder of Transformational Breath®, Judith Kravitz. She holds an ITEC Diploma in Holistic Massage and Anatomy and Physiology, is a Hanna Somatics Coach, and is also currently in training with MER (Myofascial Energetic Release), bringing in an extra layer of depth into her Breathwork offerings.
Yael first met Conscious Connected Breathwork via Rebirthing, back in her mid 20's, and practiced it for many years prior to having a family. Breathwork for her, has always been a key tool to navigate life's ebbs, flows and challenges, and she wouldn't be without it!
In addition to the above trainings and qualifications, Yael has also trained/qualified in coaching, sound healing, Reiki, has deepening listening and communication skills, is trained to highest level with Nia (2nd Degree Black Belt) and has both a BMUS and post-graduate Concert Recital Diploma from GSMD . She was a trained dancer, a performing concert pianist, a choir leader, and also teaches piano to students of all levels.
She also currently teaches her signature dance class 'DanceJOY' (inspired by a lifetime of dancing and trainings in many somatic dance modalities, as well as breathwork, vocalising sound healing and all the received musical trainings).
She firmly believes that what we give our attention to amplifies, and her mission/purpose as facilitator, is helping people to remember who they are, why they're here, and to safely release all barriers that hold them back.
Yael's raison d'etre
"I have always been drawn to the Sacred, to the mystical, to the mysterious, fuelled by several spiritual ‘awakening’ moments that have shown up and been gifted to me at key points throughout my life.
It is through this, and in the sharing of this, that I feel most in service, most immersed in the true purpose of my life.
All the beautiful work that I am so privileged to share, serves as a potent vehicle for the realisation of this purpose: raising consciousness and vibration, bringing in an increasingly revealed re-membrance and integration of who we are and why we are here.
I am a proud mother to 2 fabulous grown up sons, a daughter, sister, friend, dog-owner, transmitter and receiver."
