ABOUT YASMIN
ONE EXPRESSION – MANY FORMS
”Early on, I understood something that has stayed with me ever since: we are not here to adapt to life
— We are here to create it!”
I´m Yasmin Casaca
— a Swedish entrepreneur, dancer, and movement professional with over 20 years of experience across martial arts, dance and acrobatics, coaching, theater and acting, and leadership.
I’ve built businesses, created training concepts, coached individuals and leaders, and worked in leadership roles with responsibility for large teams. I combine structure with creativity, and professionalism with warmth.
What drives me is simple: helping people grow, connect, and believe in what’s possible – and make them succeed.
My journey
MOVEMENT & PERFORMANCE
Movement has always been my foundation. I began instructing Capoeira at 14. Shortly after, I moved away from home to pursue movement and performance at a circus school (Cirkus Cirkör) in Stockholm, Sweden, and later on, a dance school, and a Capoeira school.
Over the years, I’ve worked across martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and performance — training, competing, performing, instructing, and leading in studios, on stage, in front of the camera, and in professional environments.
This background shaped not only my body, but my mindset: presence, responsibility, and the courage to expand my capacity — to dare more, take ownership of my path, and consciously create the life I wanted, regardless of limitations.
ELITE LEVEL + SERIOUS SPINAL INJURY
I were a part of an elite group in Gothenburg within MMA, competed in submission wrestling, and worked as a BJJ instructor in a few countries. Over the years, I’ve lived in different parts of the world, which deeply shaped my perspective on movement, culture, and personal growth.
In my early twenties, a serious spinal injury changed my path. Several career directions were no longer possible, and limitations became part of my reality.
Instead of giving up, I adapted. I rebuilt.
I learned how to work smarter, listen to my body, and continue forward with ambition and joy.
That experience strengthened my leadership and perspective — teaching me resilience, patience, and how to turn challenges into direction.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP & LEADERSHIP
Alongside my movement career, I’ve built and led multiple initiatives within training, coaching, and community building. I’ve worked at the intersection of performance, people, and structure — always with a strong focus on growth, wellbeing, and results.
I’ve held leadership roles with responsibility for large teams and have also contributed at board level within companies.
Today, I work as a Process & Recruitment Manager and Business Developer within a national service company, holding executive responsibility for leading and supporting a distributed team of over 60 professionals across Sweden.
CREATIVE WORK
Creatively, I work across stage, film, and visual expression. I’ve appeared in action-based film projects, worked for MTV and other film productions, and performed as a trick performer and training model for Sweden’s largest fighter magazine.
I am a performer, a speaker, a mother, and a creator — building projects, leading people, and creating spaces where individuals feel seen, motivated, and capable of more than they believe.
Today, I combine movement, leadership, and creativity in everything I do.
