Araki Koman is a visual artist, Kundalini Yoga teacher, Wild Feminine guide, and co-founder of Intā, an intimate space in Antwerp devoted to reconnection with nature, the sacred, and the subtle beauty of everyday life.
Through her interdisciplinary practice, Araki explores slowing down and its multidimensional expressions and possibilities in nurturing our inner and outer landscapes. Her guidance embraces raw, intuitive, and minimal expressions.
Raised in a home dense with objects and energy, she found her first sense of freedom in the sky. It became a silent teacher of stillness, spaciousness, and wonder, revealing the beauty of ever-shifting textures within a steady, open sky. From her 11th-floor window, she looked out across rooftops and horizons where several cities met. Perched at the edge, she absorbed the sense of multiple lives unfolding at once, deepening her awareness of perspective and possibility. She also found quiet refuge in drawing, music, books, and her computer; drawn to the multiplicity of human experience across cultures: how people spoke, dressed, adorned themselves, created, and lived. It sparked a longing to experience the world firsthand, far beyond the limits of where she was growing up.
She knows what it feels like to grow up in a space that was full — physically, energetically, emotionally — and to find her own breath anyway. That early contrast shaped her sensitivity to space and the unseen, and planted the seeds for the clarity and care that now run through all her work.
Her yoga practice and creative expression are invitations to return to what is honest, embodied, and essential. She teaches not for performance or discipline, but to support the unlearning of noise, the softening into sensation, and the reconnection with the body’s wild intelligence.
She is the author of Find Your Wild Feminine, a guided journal published by Chronicle Books that invites a return to the instinctual and the sacred within.
Born and raised in Paris with Guinean and Malian heritage, Araki has lived in ten countries across Europe, Asia, and North America (including Japan, Iceland, the UK, Denmark, China, Canada, Indonesia, Belgium, and Portugal). Each place refined her sense of alignment and her way of seeing. Yet her identity remains fluid and expansive, shaped by movement, not confined by it. She belongs to no single place, but to the subtle in-between, where multiplicity lives.
