Yann Glever - Sound bath, Enneagram and Empathetic Walking
MEET YANN
"I create spaces where anything can happen: laughter, vulnerability, the beauty of truth."
Quels sont tes pratiques et domaines d’exploration :
I practice yin yoga, and for several years I have been exploring self-awareness approaches (via the enneagram - a personality inventory). I use sound as a tool for transformation: bowls, gongs, voice, silences; each vibration becomes a bridge to an altered state of consciousness, relaxation, or awakening.
How would you define your approach?
I see myself as a facilitator who creates spaces where everyone can slow down, listen to themselves, and reconnect with what truly matters. My intention is to offer experiences that combine gentleness, depth, and transformation.
What makes your teaching unique?
It's never mechanical or repetitive: I adapt to each group, each person, each vibration of the moment. I reject the formula, I capture what resonates with the other person, I name it directly, but always with respect.
In the enneagram, I don't try to stick on a label, I open up curiosity and nuance. I highlight the beauty and the flaws of the type without ever confining it.
In sound baths, I don't hide behind the "zen attitude"; I dare to seek out raw emotion, the shift—I guide people to where they never thought they would go, gently but without distorting what arises.
My strength: total presence, welcoming contradiction, humor to defuse drama, depth to escape the superficial, the ability to navigate the unexpected.
À quoi ressemble une retraite ou un atelier avec toi ?
It's alive, never programmed down to the minute. There is seriousness and rigor in the structure, but always room for the unexpected, surprise, and transformation.
We laugh, we doubt, we cry, we confront, we relax. Participants leave "transformed," sometimes disturbed, often relieved to have finally been able to drop a mask or cross a taboo zone in safety.
There is genuine connection, not just storytelling: the bonds are real and last a long time.
People come for awakening and leave with permission to be crazier, gentler, and more authentic.
Where can we find you outside of Yogascope retreats?
I co-facilitate workshops in Paris (at Openmind, Place de l'Opéra), and I regularly work with companies through the consulting firm I co-founded, eeVee.
3 words that summarize what your practices bring you:
Alignment – Calm – Alchemy
3 words that the people you accompany inspire in you:
Confidence – Authenticity – Grounding
Your current (or lifelong) mantra:
« Dare to see the nuance, move through the truth, embrace the unexpected. »
A mentor or figure who has inspired you, and why?
I'm less inspired by the "big names" and more by people who are capable of losing everything to get to the truth. I admire those anonymous individuals who dare to crack in a workshop, show their true selves, and shake up the group without ulterior motives.
Your passions:
Music (I organize blind tests), decoration, psychology, creating spaces where anything can happen, exploring the bizarre, the unconventional.
A habit or guilty pleasure to share with us:
Intense dark chocolate mousse from "Bonne Maman".
One or more books that have marked your path:
"The Sufi Enneagram" because it restores the spiritual and traditional dimension to this framework, leading to awakening and liberation from the ego.
"The Celestine Prophecy"
One or more films, documentaries, or series that inspire you:
Into the Wild for the inner quest and the return to basics.
"Inside Out" for emotional intelligence.
"Dead Poets Society" — for daring to be different, inspiring without dogma.
What made you want to be part of the Yogascope adventure?
The feeling that true change never happens in a single session, but through immersion, stepping outside the box, and repeatedly "living together" outside of normal time.
I've seen that major breakthroughs occur when we dare to put everything on the table, share our vulnerabilities, and experience the highs and lows as a close-knit group.
The desire to give what I would have liked to receive: a space where transformation is allowed and supported, without the pressure of "leaving already fixed."
What would you like people to remember after a stay with you?
"I can be myself, even in what is scary, even in what overflows, even in what I thought was unconfessable."
That there is a place to experience everything, to go through everything, to dare everything, and that true magic begins where the fear of not being likable ends.
That they leave with fewer masks, more courage, gentleness, and the desire to pass on the permission to be true to themselves.
