He integrates mindfulness, and corrective exercise to support whole-person healing, and offers pediatric and obstetric osteopathy. His approach reflects a holistic and evidence-informed philosophy that unites traditional techniques with contemporary science.
In his movement education, he draws from thousands of hours of study and practice in mind-body disciplines such as yoga and diverse exercise and sport training, combining somatic intelligence with biomechanics and fascia-based principles to restore alignment, cultivate strength, and deepen embodiment.
As a coach and facilitator, Yazdan guides individuals and groups through reflective, insight-driven processes that invite clarity, inner alignment, and authentic action. He has led numerous experiences focused on contemplative practice, the philosophy of well-being, systems thinking, and personal transformation.

Osteopathic Therapy
Osteopathy offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach to health that blends traditional manual techniques with modern, evidence-informed therapies to support the body’s innate capacity for healing. Each session is highly individualized and designed to restore overall vitality, alignment, and well-being—addressing concerns that may stem from chronic pain, postural imbalances, injury recovery, or stress-related tension.
Grounded in a multidisciplinary and integrative philosophy, treatments incorporate a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including gentle joint mobilization (osteo-articular techniques), Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), myofascial integration, soft tissue therapy, visceral manipulation, cranial-sacral therapy, therapeutic and corrective exercise, cupping therapy and lifestyle and nutritional advice.
Paediatric osteopathy treatments are gentle and effective, tailored to support infants and children, while obstetric osteopathy offers supportive care for individuals during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Whether addressing musculoskeletal pain or simply seeking to maintain optimal function, this structural bodywork offers a comprehensive and holistic path to health. By working with the whole person—body, mind, and nervous system—the treatments aim to restore balance, enhance mobility, and cultivate lasting harmony throughout the system.
Yazdan is an active profassional member of both the National Manual Osteopathic Society and the College of Registered Manual Osteopaths in Canada.
Contemplative Coaching
Contemplative Coaching offers a transformative approach that seamlessly integrates profound personal insight with evidence-based cognitive techniques. Rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science, this method blends mindfulness, meditation, critical thinking, and intellectual rigor to guide individuals toward clarity, self-awareness, and impactful action.
At the heart of this coaching process is a holistic and reflective methodology that emphasizes open-mindedness, presence, and cognitive insight. It invites a deep exploration of the self—encouraging shifts in perception and helping individuals transcend limiting beliefs and patterns. This contemplative inquiry opens the door to new perspectives on personal growth, success, and fulfillment.
Contemplative Coaching integrates intellectual tools and facilitates transformative insights that support clear, conscious decision-making across all areas of life—whether improving health or wealth, navigating professional challenges, deepening spiritual practice, or enhancing overall well-being.
It is a collaborative and empowering journey that creates a space for individuals to uncover their own insights and engage in authentic growth. Drawing from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western scientific frameworks, participants are invited to reflect on their lives with openness, curiosity, and depth.
Whether the focus is on career advancement, business growth, health optimization, spiritual development, or personal evolution, Contemplative Coaching offers a dynamic and integrative path to meaningful change.
Movement Training
This approach draws from a rich blend of yoga, therapeutic and corrective exercises, martial arts, athletic conditioning, resistance training, and fascia-based movement—empowering individuals to move smarter, feel stronger, and live with greater vitality, ease, and embodied presence. Each session integrates movement science, somatic intelligence, and contemplative awareness, resulting in an experience that is both precise and intuitive, thoughtfully tailored to you.
Physically, it helps restore mobility, improve posture, and build functional strength through intelligent and efficient movement patterns. Neurologically, it calms the nervous system, rewires habitual patterns, enhances proprioception, and supports long-term change. Emotionally, it releases held tension, reconnects you with your breath, and reestablishes a sense of safety, presence, resilience, and groundedness in the body. From a performance perspective, it enhances coordination, control, and body awareness to support sport-specific, artistic, or lifestyle goals.
Each session incorporates fascia-based movement to target the body’s connective tissue network, restoring elasticity, hydration, and fluid movement throughout the system. Functional strength training builds strength that supports real life—emphasizing alignment, joint integrity, control, and efficient energy transfer. Mind-body techniques, including breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, enhance focus, reduce stress, and cultivate deep body awareness. Corrective and therapeutic exercises are applied to address imbalances, compensation patterns, and injury history through individualized, intelligent programming.
Facilitative Leadership
Facilitative Leadership is defined not by control or performance, but by process—an ongoing capacity to navigate challenge, change, and evolution with awareness and wisdom. Whether in a studio, boardroom, nature retreat, or virtual space, this work moves individuals beyond surface-level interaction and into a meaningful process, where transformation takes root, growth unfolds, and deeper insight becomes possible. Participants are invited into a state of active presence, where awareness sharpens, energy aligns, and authentic shifts begin to emerge.
This approach is metadisciplinary by design, bridging diverse fields such as governance, the philosophy of well-being, and spiritual inquiry into a unified, integrative field of learning. It calls forth full-spectrum engagement—body, mind, and spirit—and adapts fluidly to the context in which it is applied.
Facilitation is spacious, allowing for organic flow while holding a steady container for insight and meaningful dialogue. At its core, this work nurtures energetic alignment and interpersonal synergy, building trust and understanding amidst complexity. It embraces adventure to activate curiosity and intelligence, while honoring stillness as a space for reset—a fertile ground from which deeper intuition and wisdom can arise. The quest for meaning is woven throughout, inviting participants to explore, refine, and connect deeply with the quiet knowing of their heart-mind.
With years of experience designing and leading immersive group experiences, this facilitative approach is highly adaptable across cultures, contexts, mediums and modalities.
