About Ruth

I started practicing yoga at 20 after a serious car accident, to regain physical health, not understanding what I was getting into. I took an immediate interest in it as it felt strangely familiar yet cosmic and unlike anything experienced before. Soon after I went to India to take part in the Sivananda Yoga Teachers Training course and afterwards met Sharon Gannon and David Life. From that first meeting I knew that they would have a momentous impact on my life, and I became a student and later a teacher of Jivamukti Yoga. I have facilitated many of The Teachers Training Courses. I have made many trips to India, my home away from home, to immerse myself in the multi layered culture and origins of yoga. I have been extremely blessed to study with Sri K Pattabhi Jois and his family, Professor HV Rao, Padma Ananta Swamy, Dr. Gurudath and family, Ma Bhaskarananda, Dr. M. A. Jayashree , Sharon Gannon and David Life. The presence of these teachers in my life, the practices they have given me, and the students who have allowed me to serve as a teacher and shown interest have given me a way of life I am forever grateful for.

I am the author of An Offering of Leaves, Sweeping the Dust, Fell in Her Hands -having to do with yoga philosophy and one fine art photography book I Imagined It Empty.
