YOGA SUTRA 11.46 : Sthira-sukham-asanam : the connection to the earth should be steady and joyful

Translated as yoke or union … connection;  yoga connects us with our breath, ourselves and from there, the earth and others; bringing with it a sense of joy.

Yoga encourages balance internally and externally, with strength and flexibility, movement and stillness.You do not need to be able to touch your toes to practice. Everyone with an open mind regardless of age, nationality, gender or physical ability can practice; that is just one of the beauties of yoga.

Ruth’s classes (both group and private) allow for and encourage our differences. It is through exploring our differences, connecting with our breath and opening to the possibilities yoga offers that we can become more flexible, stronger and more peaceful.
