From the electrifying energy of DJ booths to the tranquil embrace of yoga, meditation and breathwork, David Balfe's journey is a fusion of unexpected paths. As the visionary behind Dragn Yoga Coaching, David weaves his eclectic experiences into a unique tapestry of teaching and coaching.   Initially, David thrived in the pounding hardcore world of the British rave scene as a techno DJ, mastering the art of rhythm, and crowd dynamics taking them on a high-energy dancefloor journey. However, a quest for deeper personal growth led him to the disciplined art of Muay Thai Boxing. This martial art provided a channel for focusing his aggression and nurturing discipline while embracing the physical and mental challenges.   A pivotal chapter unfolded with Ayahuasca when he became a father at 37. A series of profound experiences catalysed David's transition from DJ to yogi. This sacred plant medicine offered deep emotional healing, guiding him toward the spiritual dimensions of yoga. Inspired by early mentors, David embarked on a path to become a teacher, integrating these lessons into his practice.   With Dragn Yoga, David merges the discipline of Muay Thai, the energy of music, and the serenity of yoga. His work is a dynamic blend of movement, breathwork and mindfulness, toward developing strength, self-mastery and inner peace. As a male instructor, David offers a fresh perspective, appealing to diverse students by addressing the unique stresses of modern life.   David's mission is clear: to empower individuals to heal their lives and conquer stress to cultivate resilience and develop self-mastery.

Anna Sarach is the founder of Sakura Glow, a Japanese Natural Facelift Specialist, and an advocate for healthy, confident aging. Her work is driven by a simple belief: true beauty is not about looking younger—it is about feeling confident, radiant, and comfortable in your own skin. Anna's professional journey began in the corporate world, where she spent many years building expertise in business development, customer experience, and leadership across international organizations. Working in fast-paced environments taught her the value of building meaningful relationships, understanding people's needs, and creating exceptional experiences. While successful in her corporate career, she felt drawn toward a more purpose-driven path—one that would allow her to make a personal and lasting impact on people's lives. That passion led her to discover Kobido, the ancient Japanese art of the natural facelift. Fascinated by its ability to naturally rejuvenate the skin while promoting deep relaxation and overall well-being, Anna immersed herself in learning this traditional technique. She quickly realized that Kobido is much more than a facial massage—it is a holistic practice that supports both physical beauty and emotional well-being. Inspired by this philosophy, Anna founded Sakura Glow, where she combines traditional Japanese facial techniques with modern knowledge of skin health, facial anatomy, and holistic wellness. Her treatments are designed to stimulate the skin naturally, improve circulation, release muscular tension, and encourage the body's own regenerative processes without invasive procedures. What truly sets Anna apart is her belief that confidence is the most beautiful thing a person can wear. Many of her clients initially seek visible improvements in their skin, yet they often leave with something far more meaningful: renewed confidence, reduced stress, and a deeper connection with themselves. For Anna, every treatment is an opportunity to help someone feel seen, cared for, and empowered. Her mission extends beyond individual treatments. Anna is passionate about educating both clients and beauty professionals about natural alternatives to aesthetic procedures. She believes the future of beauty lies in prevention, education, and holistic care rather than quick fixes. Through Sakura Glow, she aims to inspire people to embrace aging gracefully, understanding that healthy skin, self-care, and confidence create lasting beauty. Anna is also committed to helping beauty professionals expand their expertise by introducing advanced natural facial techniques that elevate client experiences and create new business opportunities. She believes that combining traditional wisdom with modern practice enables practitioners to deliver exceptional results while promoting long-term skin health.   Her philosophy challenges society's perception of aging. Rather than seeing growing older as something to fight, Anna encourages people to view it as a natural journey that deserves care, respect, and celebration. She believes every face tells a story, and her goal is never to change those stories but to help people feel proud of the person reflected in the mirror. Through her work, speaking, and educational content, Anna continues to advocate for a more mindful approach to beauty—one that values authenticity over perfection and confidence over unrealistic standards. She hopes to inspire a global movement toward natural aging, where beauty is measured not by age but by vitality, self-care, and inner confidence. As the founder of Sakura Glow, Anna's vision is to make Kobido and holistic facial wellness accessible to more people while helping redefine what modern beauty truly means. Her purpose is simple yet powerful: to help every person discover that the greatest transformation begins not with changing the face, but with restoring confidence from within.

Anna Sarach Japanese Natural Facelift Specialist & Kobido Expert Anna Sarach is the founder of Sakura Glow, a Japanese Natural Facelift Specialist, and an advocate for healthy, confident aging. Her work is driven by a simple belief: true beauty is not about looking younger—it is about feeling confident, radiant, and comfortable in your own skin. Anna's professional journey began in the corporate world, where she spent many years building expertise in business development, customer experience, and leadership across international organizations. Working in fast-paced environments taught her the value of building meaningful relationships, understanding people's needs, and creating exceptional experiences. While successful in her corporate career, she felt drawn toward a more purpose-driven path—one that would allow her to make a personal and lasting impact on people's lives. That passion led her to discover Kobido, the ancient Japanese art of the natural facelift.
