Bio
I’m Dr. Roopal Patel from Mumbai. A Dentist, Mrs India 2018 runner-up, and an avid traveller at heart having set foot in 105 countries across 6 continents. An International Yoga Instructor, a Chief Administrator of a Yoga Institute, a fitness model, an adventurous alpha mother with a claim to fame: ‘Atlas in my hands, adventure in my eyes, and never-ending wanderlust in my veins.’ I aim to inspire and bring a smile to every life I touch. I live by the phrase "Carpe Diem" and firmly believe in यद् भावं तद् भवति ।
My Yoga practice blossoms my inner landscape and shines my outer world. Yoga plants in me seeds that have the possibilities for lifelong changes. Yoga lifts me in a way that I can soar and sway with the breezes of life, being calmly flexible. At the same time, it roots me down and grounds me so that I'm stable and steady no matter what comes my way. Yoga has taught me that my body is a sacred vessel for the spirit and is the home of the divine essence.
I find happiness in motivating people to find their true inner peace and their healthiest self, through the embodiment of yoga both on and off the mat. I focus on bringing forth love and respect for the art of yoga and all that it encompasses. I desire to help people to live a life infused with higher states of peace and purpose. You never know whom you are inspiring and receiving silent blessings from the universe. The biggest earnings in this world are blessings. They are like silent nectar having immense healing and lifting power. My real reward is when someone sees me as an inspiration. My personality then serves the energy of my soul. When you inspire others, it brings out the best in you. What makes you unique is your real strength! One’s potential goes way beyond the sky. I look forward to connecting with you further on and off the mat to inspire and empower one another.
