COME HOME TO YOUR SACRED SELF

“The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
—Anias Nin

Fanya Lewbin & The Sacred Self

Do you desire more joy, creativity, or fulfillment?

Have you lost your way?

What do you think is holding you back?

Maybe you don't know.

Through the wisdom and tools I share in my 1:1 and group Sacred Self offerings, I help women discover their own natural power and freedom.

This is my passion. This is my calling.

Let me guide you back to that which you have longed for: the grace of your own exquisitely blooming self.

  • There was a time when I had lost my way.

    I was trapped in a relationship, I felt numb and depleted, disconnected, and seeking my worth outside of myself.

    I had lost my way.

    I explored and embraced many modalities for change: yoga, meditation, dance, breathwork, and embodiment. I discovered that a daily devotional practice, including embodied connection and pleasure, was the portal to my own spiritual connection.

    My life began to expand from the inside out. I bloomed into my own grace, happiness, and power.

    Finding my way back to my truest self, to my fullest voice and expression, has been an ongoing journey of liberation and joy.

Meet Fanya

I'm a certified yoga instructor and VITA Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach who guides women to reconnect with themselves through spiritual practice, embodiment, and self-devotion. 

Like many women, I've navigated major life transitions. Along the way, I cultivated knowledge and practices which helped me reconnect with my vitality, wisdom, and inner freedom.

Through my offerings I guide women to their truth, to reclaim their power, and experience greater freedom, pleasure and aliveness.

Today, my passion is sharing the Fanya wisdom, tools, and practices that helped transform my own life.

  • I am a woman in her prime, who loves both city life and wilderness adventures, live jazz and backcountry trails. If there's music, you'll usually find me dancing. If there's water, you'll likely find me in it.

    I'm a daughter, mother, partner, sister, and friend. I've moved through seasons of marriage, motherhood, divorce, career shifts, dating, menopause, aging, and self-discovery.

    There was a time when I felt trapped, depleted, disconnected, and numb. While navigating the demands of marriage and motherhood, I found myself in a personal crisis and knew I needed to find my way back to myself.

    Fortunately, yoga became that path. Having studied Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Vinyasa traditions, I experienced firsthand the healing, clarity, and transformation these practices could offer. Yoga opened the door to spirituality and meditation and ultimately inspired me to become a certified yoga instructor.

    As my journey continued, I felt called to explore another dimension of healing and wholeness: sensuality, sexuality, and relationship. This led me to become certified in the VITA Sex, Love, and Relationship Coaching Method created by Layla Martin. Through this work, I learned the power of reconnecting with the body's wisdom, desire, and life force.

    Over time, I discovered that devotion to myself through daily spiritual practice and ritual was foundational to my life. My mornings often begin with meditation, breath-work, prayer, movement - practices which continue to nourish and guide me.

    As I stepped more fully into this chapter of my life, I found myself drawn to my middle name, Fanya, the name of my paternal grandmother, who immigrated to the United States from Russia. The name means "free," and choosing it felt deeply aligned with my own journey, and the work I'm called to do in the world.

    The Sacred Self Experience

    “The ‘Sacred Self’ experience is the one thing I look forward to each month. The melding of yoga, breathwork, music, inspiration and community with amazing women nourishes my soul like nothing else. Fanya is an outstanding facilitator and being in her presence is like stepping into an all-enveloping hug.

    Circles & Gatherings

    Last night’s Circle gave me the best start to a Monday work week I’ve had in a long time. I came in skeptical about the meditative side of yoga —mostly because of my overly analytical nature—but your thoughtful guidance and the welcoming setting helped me truly connect with the practice. I’m genuinely looking forward to continuing this journey.

    Thank you again!

    I loved our sessions! There always was a comforting feeling of warmth and safety, and the practice allowed me to be more present and aware.

    I’ve learned things about me, and met and grown close to parts of me that I haven’t met before. I appreciate your non-judgemental and loving approach.

    Jan, you were meant to do these workshops!

    We all need to honor ourselves, to quiet our minds and to let go so that we can be who we are meant to be. Jan's workshop allowed us to feel and experience all of that. She is a gifted teacher to help lead the way. I am extremely grateful and look forward to another workshop.
