My name is Yana

Before jump rope, I never played any sports at all, I was more interested in creative hobbies: I played saxophone, studied in drama school, learned Japanese, loved baking cakes.


As a child, I believed that sport is constant violence against yourself; something I will never enjoy. Or I will, BUT only when the results come.

Now I think that sport is a constant learning of something new, it is getting pleasure not only from the result, BUT also from the process; This is an environment of people with whom it is comfortable and interesting for me to develop. And this is a place where you won't kill yourself from physical activity, but will develop your strength skills while enjoying it

My students inspire me more than any world champions

Besides jump rope, I am interested in dancing, i like video editing, i study Spanish and Hebrew, listen to gentle-teaching podcasts and read books. I also like listening to music while sitting in the park

My favorite food is cereal with milk

For me, the perfect sport is a sport in which there is no strict hierarchy - student and coach communicate as friends. An environment that will motivate me to defeat myself, and not other athletes.
