All classes are led by Ruth Richman, a four times certified yoga instructor with over 45 years of experience teaching yoga. Classes combine traditional techniques with modern approaches.

Beyond just the physical, classes include some philosophy, some humour, and perhaps, most importantly, some individual attention.

New! Yin Yoga - Tuesdays Zoom only - 7 pm AT
All classes on ZOOM
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that emphasizes long-held postures, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes. This practice focuses on stretching the deep connective tissues of the body (ligaments and fascia), rather than the muscles. It encourages a non-striving, meditative approach, allowing practitioners to connect with their breath and inner sensations while developing real flexibility. It is a style that can bring sensation and feelings of fragility. Expect to sleep well!

Join us for Morning Sadhana on Zoom!
For the link sign in through Sat Dharam’s website, then click on Morning Sadhana under ONLINE
Every Day | 4:15–6:30 a.m. ET | 5:15-7:30 a.m. Atlantic Time | Online
You are invited to join our daily Morning Sadhana practice during the sacred ambrosial hours.
Yogic teachings share that the hours between 4:00–7:00 a.m. are when the veil between this world and “the other world”—between Earth and the Heavens—is the thinnest. It is considered the most powerful time to pray, meditate, and connect your finite self with your Infinite self.
Sadhana practice builds grit, strength, radiance, and intuition. Practicing together moves us from individual consciousness to group consciousness, helping us stay positive and connected.
If you have not yet experienced the Aquarian Sadhana, here is an outline of what to expect:
We begin at 4:15 a.m. with Japji recitation (approx. 25 minutes). Next, a Kundalini Yoga kriya and relaxation (approx. 40 min). Then an hour of chanting of the seven Aquarian mantras:
- Morning Call / Long Ek Ong Kaars (7 min)
- Eka Mai (9 min)
- Mul Mantra (7 min)
- Sat Siri, Siri Akal (7 min)
- Rakhe Rakhan Har (7 min)
- Wahe Guru Wahe Jio (22 min)
- Guru Ram Das Chant (5 min)

A note from Ruth
I was introduced to meditation almost 60 years ago, before exploring a physical yoga practice. A teacher at high school and his book list was a great influence. I started teaching Yoga in 1980 with Community School in Montague, PEI using several books that are still on my shelves. My formal yoga teacher training experiences began shortly after. I have amassed thousands of hours of Yoga teacher training and other aligned trainings. I have teaching certificates from internationally recognized instructors 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.
