Ruth Sanders
Ruth’s yoga journey began in 1995, and what started as a personal practice soon became something much deeper. Experiencing firsthand how yoga could transform both body and mind, she felt called to share that experience with others. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2010 and her 500-hour training with Leslie in 2016.
Over the years, Ruth’s own practice has taken her through injuries and surgeries. Rather than letting those experiences keep her from yoga, she learned how to adapt and modify her practice to support her body. That firsthand experience has become an important part of her teaching.
Ruth teaches a variety of yoga styles, but the common thread throughout her classes is accessibility. She encourages students to find the version of each practice that works for their individual bodies and abilities, with an emphasis on breathwork and finding a sense of centeredness.
An E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, Ruth is also certified in Chair Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness Meditation, Hatha, and Vinyasa Yoga, as well as through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
For Ruth, yoga is about staying connected to the practice through every season of life and helping her students discover that same possibility for themselves.
Ruth lives with her husband and is grateful to have her children and grandchildren nearby.
