Yaara Lokits

With a gentle and accessible approach, Yaara Lokits shares practices of presence, compassion, and inner freedom. She invites practitioners to explore the transformative gift of Dharma, making contemplative practices directly applicable to daily life. 

Drawing from over 15 years of dedicated mindfulness and Vipassana practice, she has studied with multiple Dharma teachers worldwide, including Stephen Folder, and has completed numerous retreats in the tradition of S.N. Goenka and other insight traditions. Yaara is a student of Christopher Titmuss and shares the aspiration to make these teachings widely available. 

She creates an inviting space for practice, thoughtfully integrating perspectives from neuroscience and positive psychology with traditional Dharma wisdom. Yaara leads retreats, courses, and workshops in diverse settings, with a deep commitment to working with non-profits that support mental health, social inclusion, and peace-building. As the host of the Inner Dialog (דיאלוג פנימי) podcast and founder of Hofshi Workshops, she further extends her reach in sharing this transformative work.
