✽ YUCCANDANA ✽

Yuccananda: combination of my name Yucca, a flower that grows & blooms near the ocean & Ananda, Sanskrit for inner joy & bliss.

It’s represents what I love to create: a space where you can slow down, reconnect and discover the joy that already lives within you.

Hi ✽

I’m Joke Devreese but you can call me Yucca

Like the Yucca flower that grows & blooms near the ocean, I feel most balanced when I’m close to the sea. The water is my home, my mirror, and my source of strength.

Over the years, I’ve been on an inner journey. From a recovery after mononucleosis when I was 17 year old and to feeling out of place in Belgian society… life gently (and sometimes not so gently) nudged me inward. Step by step, I began to discover who I truly am.

Along the way, I found healing in the waves, philosophy, health sciences, mantra’s and on the yoga mat. Surf, yoga, stillness, movement, reflection, softness, it all brought me closer to myself. And slowly, it became crystal clear how I want to live on this planet: with love, light, and playfulness.

Now I love to motivate others to do the same.

I believe in finding happiness in the little things. In aging with grace and health. In embracing what is, without constantly pushing ourselves.

My mission? To guide you toward the version of yourself that already exists; vibrant, free, and deeply connected. Not by fixing you, but by remembering who you are.

    Since 2017, I’ve been teaching yoga with passion to kids, teens and adults – from beginners to advanced students. I also work as a holistic health coach, and for the past four years I’ve been supporting people in making lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes.

  • To me, health is much more than physical or mental wellness.

    A holistic approach means looking at the whole person, not just the symptoms or one part of life. It’s about your physical health, emotional wellbeing, mental state, lifestyle, and deeper needs. Everything is connected.
    Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all solution, a holistic approach helps you understand the root of what’s going on and supports you in finding balance on all levels.

    It’s about living in alignment with who you truly are. I love guiding people back to their sparkle, their purpose, their aliveness.

    I call my approach: YUCCANANDA

  • A playful blend of my name and Ananda – the Sanskrit word for inner joy and bliss.
    A space where we walk the path together.

    YUCCA stands for:

    • Yin & Yang – the balance between softness and strength, rest and action

    • Unfolding – like the petals of a flower or the rhythm of the sea, we grow layer by layer

    • Connection – with your body, your truth, your surroundings

    • Clarity – seeing yourself clearly, without judgment

    • Alignment – living in tune with what truly matters to you

    Together, they form the essence of this coaching: a grounded, heart-led journey toward your full potential, rooted in conscious choices, a healthy lifestyle, and deep self-awareness.
