Yoga
MY TEACHING INTENTION
My classes are intuitive and creative, and I strive to take each student's needs into consideration. I love creating possibility so each student is able find a home and a growth opportunity in yoga. I encourage each student to discover the balance of effort and ease in their practice, some days perhaps discovering more soothing in effort, and some days perhaps finding more peace in ease. Each person is seen, recognized and respected.
The spaces we co-create are always trauma-informed, anti-racist, and respectful of the origins and traditions of yoga. I strive to honor each person and their lived experiences.

Current Yoga Class Schedule
Gentle Yoga
Currently, Ruthie is leading private yoga sessions in person in Portland, Oregon, or via zoom. Please contact Ruthie to schedule a yoga private session. Regular cost is $100/hr, but a sliding scale is always available.
Gentle Yoga is designed to lovingly support all students in a safe community, particularly those who may feel like a traditional yoga class might not be the place for them. Yoga students with anxiety or depression, chronic illnesses or pain, fear, or concern that your race, age, gender identity, or body shape won’t fit in at a yoga class: I SEE YOU and I welcome you.
Ruthie is dedicated to creating a welcoming and safe class for all students to learn and move their bodies so that everyone can enjoy and experience more freedom and ease in their practice and their life.
Class will include a loving warm up, gentle flow made accessible to all participants, a generous and grounding rest, soothing and comforting music, optional assists after consent, and lots of opportunity for connection, learning, and community.
If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility or inclusion in this class or any of Ruthie's classes, please send an email!
