YES! You can change your life!
Your Essential Self (YES) was developed by Dr. Allyn W. Cioban as an answer to the question “How can I make true and lasting change in my life?”
Dr. Allyn grew up in a family of obese obsessive compulsive adults and an environment of disordered eating as normal. She was dead set on doing things differently, but she seemed to go too far in the other direction, and ended up becoming anorexic and bulimic instead of a compulsive overeater. She was searching for ways to figure out how to successfully use the mind-body connection to positively impact her food/diet obsession, distorted body-image and self-esteem.
After having success on her own journey, she began to teach the body of work she had synthesized as Your Essential Self | a transformation, or YES! With a great variety of students and their different intentions and goals, she realized that the system of YES worked for all types of desired change – relationships, career, abundance, physical wellness, mental/emotional health and improved an overall quality of life and spiritual connection.
Dr. Allyn has taught this 12-Session course in-person for small groups in Santa Monica, CA, since 2009. Her students have used the YES toolbox to create meaningful transformation in their lives, manifesting dreams come true:
career promotions and changes (even within niches in their chosen fields that hadn’t previously existed)
new and improved relationships and marriages
babies have been born (after having been told having children was not possible)
new homes were built and purchased
seemingly miraculous healings
dramatic weight loss (that has remained off for many years)
freedom from haunting mental patterns such as anxiety and depression
self-acceptance and self-love
YES lays the foundation needed for success. Based on the grounds that “what we think about, we bring about,” the YES program lays a necessary foundation of brain retraining exercises that support our ability to transform what and how we think. Rooted in the yogic sciences and the understanding that we cannot change a habit we are unaware of, YES utilizes yoga philosophy (the subtle energy bodies), pranayama (breath control), asana (postures), mudra (hand seals), mantra (sound vibration) and Divine Spiritual Wisdom (laws of the universe) as tools to gain consciousness of the patterns of mind, body, and beyond that hold us captive in our self-defeating ways. The magic of this program is found in its name, Your Essential Self. You will learn that to connect with your essence, the part of you that is unlimited, eternal, divine, perfect, and always goodness, gives you the power to create absolutely anything you desire! It is Allyn’s great honor and absolute joy to teach you just how to do that.
The YES curriculum is a completely different approach to personal transformation that works. The tools you learn in this course will change you forever. You will have what you need to choose positive thoughts, words, feelings, attitudes and actions that move you in the direction you want - and it will feel easy and inspired from within! If you are truly ready to make a change for the better in any area of your life, this is the course for you! All you have to do is say YES!

Testimonials
Donna:
"Allyn could not be a better teacher and mentor for ultimate health. I met her as my yoga teacher and I was one of those classic quitters, could never find a studio or teacher who worked for me, felt awkward, distracted, etc. From the moment I stepped into her class, I was transformed. Her expertise, calming instruction, positive countenance and judgement free process is a joy to be a part of. I have been a student ever since, now practicing 3-5 times a week. I signed up for her 12 week YES workshop and that was life altering and the cherry on top of a magical yoga experience. She has changed my life and my health. I have never felt better, moved better, been calmer and centered. I have so much more to learn from her. She is a magical gem!"
CLAUDIA:
"I have taken the YES Workshop twice. The first time I manifested a husband. The second time I had no idea what I wanted for myself, I just knew I was not happy with my career. Allyn patiently guided me to see past the blank space that was in front of me, and helped me envision a future that excited me. Since then, I completely shifted the focus of my business and I am so happy! I love this course and am thinking about taking it again!"
