Working with people aged 60 and over, Ruth Ann offers fundamentally practical, gentle and respectful movement practices and exercises that restore vitality and help alleviate the discomforts that can accompany ageing.
My Approach:
For over 25 years, as student, teacher and therapist, I have developed a movement practice rooted in inquiry, humility and deep respect for the evolving, maturing beings we are.
As a Yoga Teacher, all my classes and workshops take a therapeutic approach: how can we move so as to reduce pain and improve coordination and control?
As a Yoga Therapist, I meet individual clients who may have a chronic condition that limits their movement, or are recovering from surgery or just feel they want to strengthen their movement patterns.
My approach is not prescriptive. I am not so much in the business of “fixing” but in the business of helping. We explore together; practicing slowly, returning to wholeness, even recovering joy.
