YANA
The Storyteller
FILM MAKER : EDUCATOR & COURSE DESIGNER : PODCASTER
Hi, I’m Hayley — aka Yana the Storyteller...
For over thirteen years, I’ve been walking the path of listening deeply to the world — weaving stories through film, photography, and the heart of human experience. My work is a devotion to truth to the quiet wisdom that lives beneath our roles, our brands, our purpose.
I believe every soul carries impactful stories waiting to be imprinted in the earth — a message, a purpose, a vibration that longs to ripple through the world. When we listen deeply, creation begins to speak. The lens becomes a mirror, the camera a prayer, and storytelling a way to reconnect with the sacred pulse of life.
When we work together, it’s not just about crafting content- it’s a ceremony of truth-telling. We dive into the essence of experience — telling the stories of who you are, of who we are at the core. I create a safe space where anyone can feel safe and comfortable to drop deeply into their hearts and share their stories from heart.
Because stories, when told from the heart, have the power to heal, to remind, and to transform the world around us.

Our stories are imprints left on this Earth...We need stories to expand our consciousness and uplift humanity.
What is YANA?
YANA is translated as the 'vehicle' in Sanskrit. It involves three stages towards healing, cleansing the obscurations that keep us from achieving ultimate realisation, it's the journey of our path towards enlightenment and our destiny.
STORYTELLING is my YANA, it's a way of embodying experiences and sharing them with the world to raise consciousness of the planet.
Through filmmaking, artistry, sound and content, I will create a physical memory, a story that showcases a way for your individual genius to shine and liberate others, ultimately magnetising and inspiring the collective towards healing and coming back to their own true nature.
COURSE CREATION
Designing Learning Experiences
My intention is to shift the paradigm of educational systems so that we are creating learning for each individual to come back to their true nature, so they can share their gifts with the world and develop the skills and understandings they need to achieve this self-actualisation.
As a trained Filmmaker, Educator and Learning Designer (Masters in Education, Bachelors in Film, and a MicroMasters in Instructional Design) I will work with you to design, develop and evaluate learning experiences. You just need to be the expert in your field or collaborate with me on a desired curriculum and I can build the LMS, and all the resources!
This includes interviewing and filming industry professionals, creating activities, assessments, infographics, written copy and creating multi-modal and differentiated learning that is accessible for all based upon pedagogy, andragogy and heutagogy principles.
We can work together to create passive or part passive income streams that help you grow your business, but also create impactful learning experiences that uplift humanity.
