What is Leela?
Leela (Sanskr. “play” or “divine play”) is the universal play of cosmic energy, a game in which each of us is a player acting out his role.
Why Leela Matters Today?
In the modern world of fast-pace, stress and of many illusions and distractions, it helps to find answers to troubling questions, to gain clarity, to regain strength and inspiration. Leela reminds us that life is a wonderful game, and each of us is an integral part of it.
Leela as a Spiritual Practice
Leela is a tool and a spiritual practice with which a person comes to terms with themselves and balances their life path, resolving internal contradictions and finding answers to important questions.
Playing the game Leela resembles a deep spiritual and psychological training that leads a person into the depths of their consciousness, where their true desires, fears and aspirations are hidden. Every cell, every move in this game reflects your inner world. In the process of the game, you begin to better understand yourself, your motivations and the reasons for your actions. This self-knowledge helps you consciously approach life and make decisions that correspond to your true self.
The Experience of The Game
PATTERNS, INSIGHTS & GUIDANCE
PATTERNS, INSIGHTS & GUIDANCE
As the player moves from space to space, square to square, they begin to see patterns in their existence, emerging with ever-deepening clarity as their understanding of the game broadens, supported by the facilitator’s questions and guidance. The feeling that Leela is a mysterious mind that magically sees us from the inside, reads our thoughts and knows everything about us, sometimes appears literally with the first throw of the dice.
Synchronicity & Inner Knowing
In fact, it is not the game, but you who knows everything about yourself! Leela is a clear confirmation of the existence of Jung’s law of synchronicity. As if directly from the collective unconscious, with amazing accuracy, exactly those cells appear on the path of a specific player that need to be reached on the way to your request.
In the game Leela, we begin to see, that which we may not yet be aware of, through synchronous events and other people’s game, through snakes, arrows and cells, and through the process we transfer this into our conscious awareness.

Reflections from the Game
Reflections from the Game
“Leela helped me get unstuck and step into my next level of evolution.”
“I came to play Leela seeking clarity, healing, and guidance as I stepped into a new chapter of my life—opening deeper purpose in my work, calling in financial abundance, and becoming ready to welcome aligned love again. The experience had a very positive impact on me. It helped me voice important things I had been holding inside, release emotions, and clearly see patterns I was ready to let go of.
Leela gave me insights I couldn’t have expected and gently shifted my focus toward what truly matters: my life’s mission and purpose. I’m taking with me the reminder to stop judging myself, to trust my wisdom, and to show up as a teacher without fear of others’ projections or judgments. I also gained clarity around relationships—remembering the importance of balanced energy exchange and meeting a partner as an equal.
What made the experience especially impactful was Yana’s expertise and the safety of the container she holds. The environment, the women-only space, and her presence made it possible to feel supported, understood, and guided throughout the process. Yana is incredibly knowledgeable, eloquent, kind, compassionate, intuitive, and deeply respectful. She knows exactly what she’s doing and does it with integrity.
This experience helped me get unstuck and move to the next level of my evolution. I’m grateful for the clarity, confidence, and trust I’m carrying forward from this journey.”
— Anastasia “Work with Yana helped me to remember what it means to be alive and to start living my life fully”
“Working with Yana is an incredible journey of transformation! The wisdom and knowledge that she shares, the subtle gift of knowing that exact “medicine” that you might need in the moment and her ability to see opportunities everywhere and to be able to approach the situation from the higher perspective - all makes working and being in the space with Yana so special! I just finished playing my first Leela game with Yana - the game of self-knowledge - and it illuminated so many patterns of my existence that are happening on repeat and often left unnoticed, things that are holding me back as well as the things and places where I hold my gifts, where I need to bring more attention and energy. Yana truly has a gift of translating the game and each and every step that you make into something practical, understandable, something you can take with you and work on right away, into something inspiring and uplifting. Always inspiring and uplifting! It’s such a blessing to be on this journey of life with Yana by your side!
— Viktoryia “Leela helped me see my patterns clearly and trust my karmic path.”
“I had heard about Leela for years and always felt called to experience it. When I found out that Yana was facilitating the game, I felt immediate trust in her ability to guide us and knew this was the right moment. My intention was to learn more about myself and work with my karmic bonds.
The most impactful part of the game was seeing certain patterns and emotional states—such as anger, entertainment, and jealousy—appear again and again. I found myself moving in a loop between the first and second chakras. With Yana’s guidance, I was able to clearly reflect on how these same patterns show up in my daily life and gain insight into how to move beyond them.
After the game, I felt a deep sense of trust that I am on the right path, along with a clearer understanding of my karmic journey, especially in relation to my family. One particularly powerful moment was when Yana gave me a singing bowl and invited me to sing Om for several minutes. That guidance helped me quiet my mind, let go of attachment to the outcome, and move through the game effortlessly—throwing two sixes in a row and completing the journey.
What I’m taking with me is the reminder not to fall back into loops of pain and suffering, but to remember that I have already lived those lessons and that this is a time for growth and evolution.
Yana is a truly gifted facilitator. I deeply appreciated how gently she asked questions, how she guided us to reflect on the life situations that brought us to the game, and how she intuitively sensed what each participant needed. Watching her trust the process—whether encouraging someone to throw again or offering me the singing bowl—was powerful. She creates a beautiful, safe space to go deep, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her work to others.”
