The instructor, Ruth Richman, has been teaching yoga since 1980.  She is certified to teach four yoga styles (Hatha, Astanga, Yin, Kundalini) and has hundreds more training hours in Meditation techniques, Yoga Therapy, Restorative, and Pranayama. Ruth led Yoga Teacher Training programs for 12 years in the Maritimes. She creates interesting classes in a semi workshop format where students learn more than how to put their hands to the floor.

Kundalini Yoga Special Event

January 12 

Sat Nam!                                                                                                                                                                      

Join Teri Hall and Ruth Richman for a wonderful evening of Kundalini Yoga, symphonic gong, crystal singing bowls, chanting and other vibrational sound.    We are calling it Kundalini Karaoke and Bell Orchestra:

The evening begins at 6 pm, doors open at 5:30 pm. Light refreshment and some community will end the evening. Fee is $25. 

Pre-registration is required by e-transferring your fee to Ruth Richman yogaink@icloud.com or Teri Hall teri@peiseaglass.com .  

The event will be Zoomed….for $15

If you are new to Kundalini Yoga:  it is a style of Yoga that truly accepts you at whatever level of practice you are from beginner to experienced.  It is accommodating and can be done in a chair. Just let us know if you need one so we can have it ready for you.  The evening will follow the traditional “recipe” for a Kundalini Yoga experience including light motion, chanting, breath work, meditation, and relaxation.  

Please wear comfortable clothing that moves with you. Wearing white is optional

Bring a yoga mat, cushion to sit on that helps bring your knees downward, a blanket or large beach towel to get cozy under for relaxation, and a water bottle, if you desire.  

The teachers have multiple teaching certifications and have been leading this particular style of yoga for for over 13 years each. 

Look for us at the Yoga Festival in Charlestown June 21 – we will be opening the weekend with a Kundalini Yoga class to celebrate the Summer Solstice with two symphonic gongs. Also Teri will be leading her popular pranayama workshop and we join together to present a special class on Healing with Kundalini Yoga including a Healing Circle.

“Yoga Nidra”

We all need TLC. Meditation is a great place to begin.  Each week this winter a led Yoga Nidra will be a treat for the psyche and the soul. Yoga Nidra is often called Yoga Sleep. Ideally, the practitioner quickly enters a state somewhere between sleep, awareness, and deep meditation. This can create supported floating feelings and a deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra is a very ancient healing technique. For the link email yogaink@icloud.com

A note from Ruth: I was introduced to meditation almost 60 years ago, before exploring a physical yoga practice.  I started teaching in 1980 with Community School in Montague using several books that are still on my shelves.  My formal yoga training experiences began shortly after.  I have amassed thousands of hours of Yoga training and have teaching certificates in Kundalini; Hatha; Yin; and Ashtanga Yoga styles.

I also studied Yoga Therapy extensively with Doug Keller and over the years attended many workshops for teachers in other styles including Restorative and Anusara.  An assortment of top teachers along the way in the USA, Canada, Italy, and India have contributed to my knowledge and teaching styles of pranayama, meditation and Yoga Nidra. 

In my life I like to incorporate several styles in my daily practice, classes, and day to day life to help the body and mind explore and enjoy this world and it’s experiences to the fullest extent.
