ABOUT THE TEACHER
The Journey Behind the Practice
Vlada Prakopoviene’s path to founding V.P. Rosie is deeply rooted in personal experience, lifelong learning, and an unwavering connection to Zen philosophy. Long before she began formally teaching, her own life was a canvas of exploration—marked by moments of challenge, awakening, and clarity. Her interest in meditation and mindful movement emerged not from a single event, but through a steady unfolding of insight, practice, and study over many years.
My journey has been shaped by two powerful teachers. Louise Hay taught me the transformative power of self-love and affirmations—how our thoughts create our reality, and healing begins within. Her wisdom helped me cultivate compassion and emotional clarity. Later, I met Julian Daizan Skinner, Zen master and founder of Zenways, whose teachings gave me practical tools to deepen my meditation and live with mindful awareness. Their guidance continues to inspire the way I teach and hold space for others.
Founding V.P. Rosie was a natural extension of that transformation. Her teaching style reflects a rare blend of authenticity, compassion, and grounded knowledge — empowering students to cultivate awareness, embrace simplicity, and live with intention. Today, she shares these timeless tools through classes, meditation courses, and community events, with the vision of helping others rediscover the stillness and strength already within them.
Yoga Teacher & Trainer
With years of dedicated practice and instruction, I serve as both a yoga teacher and trainer, offering guidance rooted in tradition and informed by modern understanding. My goal is not only to lead transformative classes but also to mentor aspiring teachers on their journey. From foundational postures to breathwork and mindful alignment, I emphasize safe, meaningful progression—supporting students and trainees in cultivating a lifelong connection with yoga. Whether you're here to deepen your personal practice or step into the role of teacher yourself, you're in capable, compassionate hands.
