To develop my purpose, I believe all it takes is spending the time to really focus on oneself to learn a few skills, tricks, and techniques to add to my tool box. Being here (on retreat) helped me to be more open about what is possible and to release any anxiety around whatever transition takes place. I said to myself, this is an investment in me and I'm worth the investment. And it's a small investment of time considering how much life is ahead of us. What you want is important. (The retreat) gives the tools to dream, and teaches manifest practices and strategies to help you achieve whatever is meant to be.

The biggest benefit for me was just learning to appreciate the silence and learning to take breaths and just hear what's around me. So this is your time to be nurtured, to be loved, to be cared for, to know who you are, to be seen and heard and known and just be seen where you are. The world is becoming louder and louder all the time and we need to learn how to tune in and be quiet and because there's so much that can be said in the quiet that you don't hear and when it's noisy out. Consider a retreat with Ranya to care for yourself and find your true self in a chaotic world, as it's essential for personal growth and self-discovery.

The biggest benefit for me is taking the time to myself. I was in a place where there's a lot of noise in my life and I know coming here was going to give me that space and clarity. To have a moment for myself and have some sort of clarity or space in my mind before I jump into something. That is going to be the biggest change for me. This week, I learned that anxiety is part of growth and will embrace it, embracing it and following my heart's path. If you want to relax and just slow down, then this is the best way to do it. Restorative Yoga will help you with that. What I would say to somebody who is on the fence is to open yourself up to possibilities.

My Reiki One training with Ranya was a revelation. I have been curious to deepen my capacity to channel energy for healing and Ranya showed me in a simple yet profound way how to tap into the energy that already exists in and around me to help others while enjoying the added bonus of healing myself. The attunement I received took me to unexplored places, freed me of my worry, and gave me a sense of calm and joy. It felt like the best Savasana but tripled! I have already happily shared what I’ve learned about my cats and will surely move on to people very soon. I highly recommend this training!

Ranya's beautiful spirit shines through her teaching. Her classes are tailored to the needs of the students and she is a wonderful listener. I've taken several classes with her in various locations, and I can honestly say that each one has been unique and perfectly suited to the group she is teaching. I love that she incorporates humor when the vibe calls for it, and she is also capable of creating an incredibly peaceful, meditative, and restorative ambiance. I always feel centered and alive after spending time with Ranya! Highly recommended!

Ranya’s women’s circle was extraordinary. She is warm, caring and nurturing and I recommend it to any woman looking for sisterhoods here. I cannot say enough good things about her and her beautiful studio.

The experience I had with this extraordinary human being and teacher is beyond amazing! I've suffered from anxiety for a long time now and I always struggle to find a way to feel relaxed, to put my mind and body to rest and to feel at ease but with Ranya I was really able to do so. After my restorative yoga session I felt relaxed and rested as if I had slept the right amount of hours my body needs (which I rarely do), she's really able to make you feel comfortable and at ease, she's very delicate and gentle and her voice is very calming. I definitely reccomend Ranya to everyone. Yoga is a very powerful tool to our body and mind but you need the right teacher to guide you and well... she DEFINITELY is one!

Ranya has had a profound influence on my life and spirituality. I worked with her to learn meditation and mindfulness, and she was simply the best teacher I could have ever wished for. She also started me down the path for Reiki certification, something I hope to pursue in the future. All of our work was remote, she being in Montana and me in Idaho, and she is a true master of the remote medium. Empathic, upbeat, knowledgeable, cheerful --- Ranya is the real deal. I can enthusiastically recommend her not just as a yoga instructor but also as a kind and caring spiritual guide.

I was recently so fortunate to become a part of Ranya’s empathic essence circle. This experience was so fulfilling and I left feeling enlightened and loved by the community I was with that evening. Ranya’s guidance comes with so much warmth and powerful yet comforting energy. I look forward to more time spent in this space.

It is clear that she has cultivated an intuition that allows her to see her students and as a result, allows her to be acutely attentive to what students need in the moment to maximize their comfort. The knowledge and skill that she brings to each practice, the gentleness of her manner and touch, and her gentle encouragement make her stand out from the rest. There are few restorative yoga teachers of this caliber.

Ranya is a very special restorative yoga teacher, holistic health practitioner and soul. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in anything she teaches, she lives her yoga and trusty believes in and practices what she teaches others. Ranya’s calming presence and voice, coupled with her innate desire to help others heal through yoga, meditation, massage and reiki and her never ending thirst to continue learning and teaching others make her one of the best of her kind.

Ranya’s mastery of yoga as a healer is profound. My first experience with [Empathic Yoga] was in a private session. I had worked myself into a state of adrenal failure and I could barely function. Within a few sessions, my health and energy returned, I was far less stressed and felt truly blown away!

Ranya is a special person an absolutely meant to be a yogi. I’ve never been a fan of yoga but after battling rheumatoid arthritis, a few friends had suggested I try restorative yoga which is very gentle on the body and joint. There’s no one I’d want to teach and support me (literally) in class than Ranya.

Restorative Yoga?, I thought. But, I am open to a new type of meditation and connecting to Source Divine. Wow! I am humbled by not only the restorative powers of this practice but so humbled by Ranya and how she helps you feel such from a passionate heart of a healer. I fully recommend the practice of Empathic Yoga and I fully recommend having Ranya as your guide. Interdependently we become one.

I highly recommend Empathic Yoga for both beginners and experienced yogis. When I first attended a class taught by Ranya, I didn’t understand what was going on. Compared to vinyasa or “power” yoga classes it seemed at first like we weren’t even doing anything. But, by the end of the class, I was so relaxed and centered that I immediately started making Restorative yoga part of my regular practice.

I have been working with Ranya @ Empathic Yoga for a number of months now, specifically Restorative Yoga and attending the monthly Sister Circle. Ranya provides such care and attention to detail in her Restorative Yoga offering. I have left sessions feeling like I have truly been given a gift. Ranya takes the time to provide the proper education and a wonderful space for meditation and supportive healing.

The monthly Sister Circle that Ranya facilitates has given me a space to unmask myself, create deeper connections with likeminded women, learn and grow, and have a place to continue my healing journey in a safe and sacred space. I will be forever grateful to Ranya and the sisters for creating such a wonderful space for all of us.

I have been attending the sister circle facilitated by Ranya. She does a wonderful job of creating a welcoming safe space for us to explore our divine feminine and connect deeper with the women in our community. As a space holder it is a wonderful support system for me I didn’t know I needed in my life. Highly recommend the energy and space Ranya cultivates in her practice.

Attending a Women's Circle with Ranya was fulfilling and exciting. It pushed me to think about what I want and what I can accomplish. Thank you Ranya!
