"You are not a collection of parts to be fixed."
Chronic pains, emotional weights, and a wired nervous system are rarely separate events. They are the same signal - a call from your body's ancient and primal intelligence.
The Human Dojo is a return to that center. It is a move from living in the head to embodiment - returning to the body's truth. It lays the conditions for healing and transformation to occur naturally.
"I expected knee recovery to be purely physical, but in a couple of sessions my pain reduced dramatically through nervous system work and deeper body awareness."
The combination of targeted strengthening with nervous system work and deeper body awareness changed everything. In a couple of sessions my pain reduced dramatically, but more importantly I learned how to listen to my body and move in a way that felt stable and grounded. It wasn’t just rehab, it was a real shift in understanding and trust in my body.
Listening
The foundation. We move from disconnection to attunement, hearing the body’s signals that precede any lasting change.
Body's Truth
We work with movement, breath, and gaze. With the body, always rooted in the present and revealing what is true.
Play
The best way to learn. Childlike exploration that bypasses the analytical mind, allowing the system to adapt without the pressure of ‘getting it right.’

I came to Yoni after a long period of dealing with back pain. At that point, I had reached a place where I felt I needed to stop all the activities I was doing and properly address it.
I first tried resting on my own for a while, which only made the pain worse. After that, I spent some time trying to strengthen the area, but that didn’t really help either.
I began working with Yoni, and at first the focus was on calming and releasing the body, through work with the nervous system. Alongside that, we worked on developing greater awareness and attention to physical and mental sensations.
I tried many different treatments and didn’t find any “magic” solutions that make pain disappear instantly. Our work together helped me get closer to the source of the problem and approach caring for myself from there. This is ongoing work, and these are tools that will serve me for life.
The Human Dojo is born from my own direct experience. I share it here for the one who hears the signal. It is a serious and playful inquiry into what it means to be more fully human. Through listening to oneself, introspection, movement, and breath, it is a return to the body and its more ancient and primal intelligence - one that, for many of us, has been overshadowed by the intellect.
We live in a tsunami of information, mind-boggling technological progress, and an endless online stream of health and wellness biohacks, tips, and shortcuts.
I believe the greatest gift in life is when you become your own teacher. When you do not outsource your agency.
For me this path has resulted in deep healing; a home in my body, growing clarity, more freedom of movement and less pain. A deeper sense of calm amidst turmoil and a growing affection for simplicity in life. This work has become a way of life and the compass that leads me back to a quiet center as I move through life's highs and lows.
I act as a mirror and a guide. I am not here to provide answers, but to help you hear your own questions and see the patterns you cannot see alone.
"The work was precise, calm, and introspective. My son connected to it and came away with better body awareness."
If you feel overwhelmed. If life feels as though it is moving too fast. If you sense the emptiness of jumping from one system to another in the shortcut culture we’ve created. And if you want to go to the source of things and discover real transformation through direct experience with yourself - I would be honored to work together.
The work can be customized to your time availability and your current stage in life, but it is uncompromising in its demand for an honest intention.
