Welcome to my yoga community

Welcome to Ruach Yogi—a space where faith meets flexibility and every inhale carries purpose. Whether you arrive seeking a deeper stretch, a calmer mind, or a fresh encounter with God’s spirited breath (Ruach), you’re in good company here. My mission is simple: share the gifts I’ve been given and help you discover your own. As long as we have breath, we’re on assignment—so roll out your mat, open your heart, and let’s move forward together.

Peace, Sawubona, Namaste, Heyyy!

About Me

Ten years ago I showed up for a post-run stretch and stayed for a life-changing encounter with the Ruach—God’s living breath. Today I’m a 200-hour RYT, Certified Breath Coach®, Reiki Practitioner, wife, mom of four, and persistent endurance-junkie eager to cheer you on.
