Testimonials

Aug. 19, 2009

In May of this year I completed Ruth Richman's 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program which makes me eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).  The curriculum, which consisted of extensive instruction in the areas of technique (including asanas, pranayama, kriyas, chanting and meditation), teaching methodology, anatomy, physiology, philosophy, ethics and lifestyle, as well as a practicum and home study, was both professionally organized and presented. 

Although I am relatively new to the practice of yoga, it is due to Ruth's expertise and the high standards she set that I now have the confidence and knowledge to begin teaching my own yoga classes. 

Her teacher training program is extremely well organized, as well as mentally, physically and emotionally challenging.  As an instructor, Ruth is knowledgeable, interesting, compassionate and inspiring. Being a participant in her comprehensive course has been a life-changing experience for me.

Dear Yoga Ink,      

I have been one of Ruth’s students in both her Ashtanga and Yoga Blend classes for almost eight years. Her teaching techniques are carefully planned and beautifully modeled making it possible to understand the correct position of the body in all the asanas. Her gentle, personal assistance with each individual helps one become proficient in the postures which can only be achieved by practice with a qualified teacher like Ruth.

      Over the eight years, Ruth’s classes and workshops have helped me develop a better awareness of how the body and mind work in unison to reach an inner peace and healthier  lifestyle. I would like to thank Ruth for all her time, dedication and efforts which have played an integral part in my physical and spiritual journey.  

Sincerely yours,

Constance, Belle River, PEI 

To Who it may concern:

I was introduced to beginner's yoga with Ruth 3 years ago. I now attend 2 classes each week in Charlottetown. Ruth is a kind and patient teacher with a quiet humor that makes you feel at ease even in your most difficult posture. I have learned that although the physical benefits of astanga are significant the transformation of mind and influence on spirit are truly extraordinary.
