Francine Deparnay is a RYT 500 yoga teacher, energy healer, and nature-loving guide with a mission to help one million souls reconnect to their power through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and play.Her path began in 2017 with a 200-hour certification from LifePower Yoga, four years after discovering the raw, empowering energy of power vinyasa. What began as a personal practice to stay grounded through the demands of corporate life and motherhood evolved into a calling to share the tools that helped her heal.Francine has since completed over 500 hours of diverse training in Canada, India, Mexico, and Peru—where her journey was shaped by ancient ceremony, sacred landscapes, and deep spiritual immersion.Her training includes:Rishikesh, India: 100-hour Spirituality Immersion at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, rooted in pranayama, meditation, and Ayurveda.Tulum, Mexico: 100-hour Abundance Immersion with temezcal (sweat lodge) and nature-based healing practices.Bracebridge, Ontario: 50-hour Yin Immersion exploring anatomy, stillness, and surrender.Urubamba, Peru: 100-hour Illumination Immersion, deepening her connection with Pachamama and leadership through ritual and ceremony.Francine’s teaching blends soulful Yin, grounding Hatha, and fiery Vinyasa with intuitive energy work. She is also a certified Anti-Gravity Fitness Instructor (CAGI, 2022), Usui Reiki Master (2018), and Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA) Practitioner (2018). As an E-RYT 200, she is qualified to guide and mentor aspiring teachers through 200-hour training programs. While her current work is rooted in public classes and private instruction, she looks forward to stepping into the role of teacher trainer in the near future.Whether guiding students in a studio, circling in ceremony, or leading future international retreats, Francine invites others to come home to themselves—wild, whole, and free. Mantras she lives by:“Your pain is your purpose.”“By healing yourself, you heal the world.”
