About

My name is Brielle Rich and I am the creator of Ropana Bodywork. My passion for yoga began in 2014, and in 2019 I completed a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher training at Lifetime Fitness. I immediately began teaching my private practice, alongside classes in the studio, and have had the opportunity to travel and teach at a healing sanctuary in Mindo, Ecuador as well as multiple festival settings across Utah and Colorado. Through my practice and teaching journey, I discovered that the time spent on my mat directly affected my confidence and capability off my mat. Yoga continuously teaches me self compassion, unconditional love, and balance.

Yoga introduced me to the power of somatic healing for not only the body, but mind and spirit as well. I decided to further my education and dive deeper into human anatomy, kinesiology, and how everything intertwines by completing a 900hr Licensed Massage Therapy program in 2022. There, I studied Advanced Integrative Therapies, Hydro & Spa Therapy, Sports & Rehabilitative Massage, Asian Bodywork, and was attuned to my first degree Reiki. Since then, I've opened my own commercial space in Sandy, UT and have had the opportunity to travel to multiple events and even teach workshops. I also gained experience working 2 seasons at a Forbes 5 star spa in Deer Valley, UT.

This is my way of bridging the two worlds together. I aim to bring a distinctive and personalized approach to the science and art of holistic healing. My hope is that this bodywork inspires you to be more present, pain free, and connected to your true essence.

How Ropana Bodywork came to be

Over the past few years, my focus has been on expanding my knowledge of the human body and how to better support the overall health of body, mind, and spirit. My journey has led me through yoga teacher training, massage therapy school, and has now inspired the official creation of my business "Ropana Bodywork".

"Ropana" refers to the healing of wounds, planting, sowing, or raising and originates from ancient Sanskrit, Ayurvedic literature, Buddhism, and Hindi. Different forms of bodywork have been used since the beginning of man and have assisted humankind in a better quality of life. Ropana Bodywork stands to support you on your lifelong journey of wellbeing, health, and optimal function.
