our history

We live to glorify Krishna in all we do

Dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit.

Our Story

Yana Synapse was born from a deep calling to reconnect people with their essence — beyond noise, beyond identity, beyond the surface.

Founded by María Arranz, an international yoga teacher and experiential anthropologist, this project is a bridge between East and West, tradition and modern life, body and spirit.

Our Philosophy

We don’t believe in gurus.
We believe in experience.

This is a space where:

  • You reconnect with your body
  • You explore your inner world
  • You move beyond identity and conditioning
  • You discover who you are — beneath everything

María’s Journey

Since childhood, María has been deeply connected to spirituality, attending teachings of Tibetan masters, retreats, and sacred gatherings. Her path began through music, spending years immersed in artistic expression before transitioning into deeper inner exploration.

Her journey has not been linear — moving through intense personal transformation, she found clarity through direct experience, healing practices, and deep self-inquiry.

🌏 Training & Experience

  • 950-hour certified yoga training in Spain (state-recognized)
  • 900-hour traditional yoga training in Mumbai, India
  • Lived and practiced extensively across India, Nepal & Sri Lanka
  • Deep connection with Buddhist teachings and spiritual traditions

She has also assisted renowned Hatha Yoga Master Surinder Singh (Rishikesh) in Barcelona, bringing classical yogic wisdom into modern spaces.


🕉 Pilgrimages & Spiritual Work

María collaborates with Milindias, guiding spiritual pilgrimages across India, including:

  • Kashmir – Ladakh sacred journeys
  • Tiruvannamalai (Arunachala) — one of the most powerful spiritual centers in India

Her work is not about teaching dogma, but creating spaces where people can experience truth directly — through silence, awareness, and presence.

What people say

This was more than a retreat — it was a life-changing experience. The combination of yoga, breathwork, and the energy of Ladakh helped me reconnect with myself in a way I never expected.
