Ropana (रोपन) comes from the ancient Sanskrit language meaning “to heal oneself”.

From a small town in northern Manitoba, I began yoga when my oldest was just a baby, 16 years ago. Yoga was a way for me to connect to the present moment, it was a way for me to slow life down. I struggle with anxiety, so having yoga as a tool to come to every time I felt like crying, or panicking, was such a blessing in my life. I could breathe and know that everything in that moment, would be okay. From the breathing, to the movement, to my intention setting, I was starting to live yoga on and off the mat. I knew this was something I wanted to share with everyone. I received my 200 hour teacher training at Semperviva Yoga College in 2014. Since then I have taken my Yin training with Bernie Clark, Yoga for Pain Relief with Leslee Watt, Restorative yoga training, and I am continuing to expand my practice daily. I am grateful for this gift I have received.

A little fact about me, I played the flute for 6 years and always had an ear for music. The singing bowls came naturally to me, and love how the frequencies just allow me to relax and experience bliss in that moment. Offering this healing therapy allows me to share another treasure of mine with you.

I am honoured for the students I have met over the years, and I continue to grow as a student myself. Always curious to learn and expand my practice, on and off the mat. That is yoga, a practice. Nothing needs to be perfect, your life or your yoga practice. Allowing it to take you wherever it may take you, in that moment. I cannot wait to share my space with you, and we can continue to learn and grow together.

I am here to love, I am here to release any opinions. There is no dividing here, only love and acceptance. When we do everything from the heart, from love, we can feel a river moving through us, to guide us.

We are all deeply rooted to this earth. No matter who you are, where you are, you are linked to the rest of creation. I believe that everything you need, will come to you at the right time. Every decision you make, when lead by intuition and the heart, is the right decision. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Allowing yourself to trust, to let go of expectations and outcomes, and to fully surrender to the path that you are on. Life is an adventure, full of twists and turns, the key is not to attach to outcomes. Follow your journey with gratitude and love. Release any judgment and pain. You are a magical being, gifted with this time on earth <3 You are love, and you have infinite potential. Let’s unlock your soul!

**I now reside in Barnhartvale, BC with my husband Chris, children, Van (17), and Annie (11). You can find me baking, gardening, getting in nature, or with my family adventuring in the mountains, whether biking, hiking, or skiing. I look forward to connecting with you!
