Get to Know Ruth!

“I live in Atco, NJ with my 3 children.  I retired after 26 years of working in the field of Human Resources. Burned out by the long hours and long travel, I began searching for something more meaningful, but I did not know what, until Yoga. I found my yoga practice as a means to cope with stress and health concerns. It was the “me” time I never had. Yoga has become a lifeline for me.  I have found strength, confidence, peace and gratitude. 

I teach a variety of styles, including Power, Slow Flow, Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Strong/Fit+Flow. My power classes combine both strength and mobility work in a dynamic, Power Flow style that students of all levels can easily modify. I also combine this sweaty, high intensity, fast-paced flow with soothing, restorative poses to help present the balance that closely mirrors our lives. Students can expect to move, sweat, and breathe!  My Yin and Restorative Yoga classes focus on relaxation, breath and mindfulness. In all classes, I ground my students in an ongoing awareness of breath while guiding them through poses with proper alignment cuing, modelling, and hands-on adjustments. I enjoy sharing my passion with my students so they might be able to experience their OWN shift, their OWN transformation, whether it is on or off the mat!

Off the mat, you will find me enjoying life gardening or with my family at home or at the beach.

I also teach at Shine Power Yoga, The Yoga Shift, and The Vicious Cycle.”
