My name is Jolanta.
One of my biggest passion is helping people awaken their powerful force within themselves and guide everyone on the beautiful and rewarding path of Yoga and Wellness.. Through the discovery of powerful breath ,self awareness about our bodies and minds, vital health, spirituality, your life will change forever.
My constant studies enrich my approach to all aspects of my professional and personal life.
I was born in Poland, moved to England when I was 19 years old , and came to Canada 6 years ago.
I have been studying Yoga for more than 24 years and I had completed the Advanced Training with British Wheel of Yoga in England.
Ever since I have been attending numerous workshops, courses, lectures and conferences and studied with international Yoga teachers to enhance my own learning experiences.
Beginning of my Yoga journey was directed towards Vinyasa & Ashtanga Yoga and studying with Shiva Rea, Bryan Kest and Donna Farhi who influenced me greatly on that journey.
I then got drawn to Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda.
I studied restorative Yoga and Ayurveda with Judith Hanson Lasater, Doug Keller, Aadil Palkhivala, Mukunda Stiles, Tara Fraser and James Bailey.
.
10 years ago I discovered Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, which became my calling in my personal practice.
I have been studying with Gurmukh and Gurushabd Singh Khalsa ever since.
In 2014 I attended a lecture on Insomnia with Sat Bir Singh Khalsa in London and became passionate about integrating that into my Yoga Therapy sessions.
Later that year I completed a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy course for Insomnia in Philadelphia and I help people with sleep related problems.
The last 17 years spent in England, I lectured, run workshops and gave several talks in clinics and hospitals. I travel to Europe every year, carrying on the teachings of Yoga and Well Being.
In May 2017 I had attended Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness Course for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in London.
In 2020 I completed The Power of Awareness Mindfulness Course with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield and I hold a Certificate from the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Centre and the Awareness Training Institute.
In my teachings I specialise in Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, PTSD and Endometriosis.
I am also a qualified Holistic Beauty Therapist and I own a Beauty Salon.
In 2018 I created a cosmetic company- LilaRosa,
I make custom made natural anti ageing face skin care, body oils, and herbal healing salves. I am a passionate advocate of healthy, natural and organic living.
In 2020 i started studying herbalism and another company- Rosa Valley was born. I forage for herbs, making beautiful herbal remedies.
I also own Terroir & Wild Ecotours, I share my love of foraging with amazing people taking them for adventures into the wild.
Over 7 years ago my life brought me to Canada, Nova Scotia.
Part of Yoga practice is to embrace the changes and challenges life throws on us with acceptance. This move was a huge learning curve on how to adapt to this big transition, starting from new and finding myself again. This change was a doorway into the next stage of growth- one that propelled me into a deeper relationship with myself and dramatically redefined me.
What the Buddhists call impermanence, is the changing nature of life and in order to grow, we need to learn how to go with that flow and discover the gifts of change. So much to learn!!!!
I feel very blessed to be able to carry on sharing the wisdom I have gained over the years in Canada.
Every day I continue to deepen my knowledge on and off the mat,
I will forever be a passionate student of Yoga.
I loved my garden in England.
A perfect place to take yoga pictures
