YASI’S WORLD

Welcome to

Where I share it all: the meals I grew up making, the quick recipes my kids love, my go-to wellness staples, active routines, and everything in between.

I’ve taken 1:1 Pilates sessions with Yasi in Newport Beach, and she’s an incredible instructor. Her clear guidance and focus on form have helped me move with more confidence, and for the first time, I truly know how to activate my core.
