Ruth moved to Michigan 30 years ago where she had been teaching at the first yoga center she opened; Yoga Center Santa Cruz. It too was the first yoga center in that area! After moving to East Lansing she began and developed the yoga program at the Michigan Athletic Club and taught there for many years. Finally in 1997 she opened The Center for Yoga in East Lansing, Michigan. Her original reason for opening the center grew out of a desire to teach in an environment that supported the broad nature of yoga and it has since grown to fulfill one of her greatest dreams-which is to provide a space for teachers and students to uphold the traditions of yoga and bring Yoga into their lives as a profession, a lifestyle and practice. One of Ruth's greatest joys in teaching is to watch students grow through the natural evolution of yoga in their life and how it touches on many levels, inspiring their commitment to their wellbeing and life's purpose.
