Join the Class
Are there many photos of you that you are proud to show off to the world? The kind that truly represents who you are? Those that reflect your true personal or professional brand? We offer a workshop aimed at co-creating genuine and powerful photos of you.
The workshop will be facilitated by yoga therapist Alla Semilatova and photographer Tracy Wong. Alla is a corporate leader with 20+ years of cross industry experience (in house and professional services). As a certified yoga therapist she integrates international strategic expertise with holistic well-being principles. Tracy is a seasoned photographer with over 15 years experience specializing in lifestyle and branding work. Her signature storytelling style captures her subjects with authenticity, steering the visual identity for individual leaders, luxury hotels, and global corporations.
We start with a moderated discussion to identify your own brand identity. We then weave in a yoga and meditation session with Alla to help you to relax, find focus, and connect with your intention. To wrap up, together you will fill out a worksheet about your visual blueprint.
On a separate day following the workshop, you will have a scheduled 1-on-1 photoshoot to capture headshots and portraits. Tracy’s approach is deeply collaborative; she uses natural conversation to put you at ease, ensuring your photos reflect a genuine spark rather than a forced pose. Guided by your workshop results, you can choose between a 30-minute or 1-hour session to build your custom image library.
About Alla
Alla is a certified yoga therapist with over 600 hours training behind her covering Ayurveda, Hatha, Yin & Acupressure / Meridian Yin. A business leader with corporate experience in Europe and Asia, she understands well the daily pressures of modern times. She therefore chose to focus on restoration in her yoga practice.

She helps students create space for body and mind to unwind and let go, focusing on the parts that feel sore and need extra care. Everyone is welcome to join and benefit from her class – from couch potatoes to athletic types, from teenagers to elderly.
