Ruth Shaw |
Ruth began practicing Yoga and Meditation over 30 years ago. She trained in Thailand under the expert & powerful tutelage of Shakti Mhi, founder of Prana Yoga & Zen Centre in Vancouver, B,C. and is constantly inspired by many other wonderful teachers and practitioners from around the world.
Her background in Classical Hatha Yoga, as morphed into an elegant fusion of Ashtanga, (power) Iyengar, (alignment) Kundalini (dynamic breathing) and Yin Yoga (slow deep stretching for joints). Her classes, whatever level, focus on staying connected to the breath, developing body mind awareness, while at the same developing core strength, muscle tone, improved posture and inner confidence and radiance.
Ruth lives in Toronto where she teaches Yoga & Meditation at various studios around the city. She teaches “Yoga in the Workplace” for a variety of businesses, schools and corporations as well as teaching privately at her own studio. A passionate environmentalist, she facilitates regular Yoga & Meditation Retreats in places of quiet beauty that are “off the Grid”. (see “Workshops” at ruthshawyoga.com.

Ruth has a sparkling energy, and an engaging, powerful, yet calm presence. She uses clear precise instruction, with a dash of humour, to guide, support and empower her students to stretch and grow beyond their known boundaries.
“As we travel to the centre of our selves through the practice of Yoga, we begin to develop the awareness that allows us to experience letting go. This non-resistance brings us fully into the moment where we can tap into the natural flow and change of our lives. This in turn becomes the pathway to physical, mental, and emotional flexibility, health and wellbeing ” (not to mention “Joy”!)
