Yamuna

09/15/2026

Thank you all for your patience, love, and understanding while I have been quiet during this challenging time.

Next Friday September 25 we will be holding a celebration of life memorial from 6-10 in NYC.
In addition we will be sitting Shiva in our home on Saturday and Sunday to honor her memory.
For anyone I haven't reached out to directly who feels called to join us, the details are below.

Deep appreciation to you all—and keep on rolling 💞
Yael (Yamuna's daughter)

Please join us for an evening dedicated to remembering, experiencing, and celebrating Yamuna’s extraordinary life. Rather than a formal service this will be a living tribute. The evening is envisioned as an immersive gallery of her legacy, a timeline of her life to be explored at your own pace. Li...

Two years ago, Yamuna created Lighthouse Ibiza—a space built with deep love, intention, and a clear vision for healing and connection.

Since she passed, I’ve been figuring out what to do with it.

The obvious choice would be to close it or sell it. But every time I step into the space, I see how powerful it is. I believe in what she created, and I believe it deserves to continue, and I’m not ready to let it go.

At the same time, I’m not based in Ibiza, and I already run a full-time business, so continuing it alone isn’t realistic. Instead, I’m choosing to open this up as an opportunity.

Lighthouse Ibiza is a fully licensed space in Spain, with a studio, treatment room, and a 24-screen EES (Energy Enhancement System) room—ready to be used.

Now it’s about the right people.

If you’ve been looking for a base in Ibiza, this could take different forms:

— A partner
— Practitioners working regularly from the space
— Retreats or workshops
— Someone taking on a more active, day-to-day role

The space exists. It’s built. It’s licensed. It’s ready.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you—who you are and how you see yourself stepping into this.
Feel free to reach out directly.

It has been exactly one month since Momma Yamuna left us, and her presence is everywhere. We are all so lucky to still hear her voice, return to her words of wisdom, and continue using the tools and education she created—anytime, anywhere. It truly feels like she is flying high, exploring new dimensions, and making herself felt across the world.

Thank you for the incredible outpouring of love, stories, and support. It has meant more than I can say. Hearing how deeply she impacted lives—many who never even met her but were so impacted by her—continues to move me.

Celebrations of Yamuna’s life are beginning to take shape, with the intention of honoring her in a way that feels true to who she was: alive, joyful, sensory, exploratory, and deeply connected. Each gathering will be unique, in places she loved, reflecting different parts of her spirit and legacy.

We are currently planning:

New York: September 25–27 (possibly the 28th), including time to gather in our home and a larger celebration with music, dance, storytelling, visuals, scent, food, and drink. There may also be outings—live performance, music, and a morning at the Russian & Turkish Baths on 10th Street—all the kinds of experiences she loved.

Ibiza: October 17–19 (TBC) including time to gather in our home, a hike, a swim and a larger celebration with music, dance, storytelling, visuals, scent, food, and drink.

Tokyo: November 13–15 including time to gather, possible day at Arashi no Yu, day of shopping (Yamuna loved Japanese Fashion), dinner and more

She will live on through the people she touched and the work she created. I feel so lucky to have her as my mom and honored to share her with the world.

I know many of you want to be part of honoring her, and we have such a creative and devoted community. If you have stories, photos, videos, or would like to help in any way—music, venues, flowers, AV, production, logistics, or anything else—I would love to hear from you.

On Friday May 29th at 9:44am EST my mother Yamuna Zake passed away. She was surrounded by the sea and love in Ibiza, exactly how she wanted it.

I am heartbroken and I am also in awe.

What has unfolded over these past days has been extraordinary. The outpouring of love, the stories, the gratitude from around the world—it has been absolutely humbling. Messages are coming in from every continent from people she has touched throughout her life. People sharing how her hands changed their bodies. How her words and teachings changed their lives. How she believed in them when they didn’t believe in themselves.

There are stories of people healing from injuries doctors said were permanent. Stories of people finding their bodies again after years of pain. Stories of practitioners she trained who have gone on to help thousands of others. Stories of her showing up for people in their darkest moments with nothing but presence, knowledge, and unwavering belief in the body’s ability to heal.

I am a story too. Four and a half years ago, I flatlined. Who knows if I would still be alive if she was not my mom.

This is how Yamuna lives on.

In the real, tangible, lived experiences of the people she touched. In the bodies she healed. In the practitioners she mentored who are now healing others. In the community she built that will continue this work because they are living proof that it works.

She gave everything to help people suffer less and live more fully in their bodies. And the evidence of that—the actual lived reality of it—is pouring in from thousands of people around the world.

There will never be another Yamuna. What she built, what she created, what she gave—it was extraordinary.

Thank you for loving her. Thank you for learning from her. Thank you for sharing your stories. They are her legacy.

With love,
Yael
