About me
Ruth has enjoyed practising a wide range of yoga styles over 36 years and training yoga teachers for 17 years.
With a background in science teaching, natural therapies, leadership and management, and yoga therapy, Ruth’s passion is integrating these diverse fields to facilitate others to understand, grow, align with their purpose in life and realise their full potential.
Originally starting her career as a Naval Officer, Ruth’s career changed direction after being crushed by a falling gum tree in a storm. Ruth found Dru yoga was a key part of her healing journey on all levels.
Dru Yoga emphasises meeting the student/client where their body is at, as well as working with the subtle energy bodies (Koshas) particularly when the physical is compromised. Ruth was astounded by the benefits of working on the more profound subtle levels that is the ancient sacred heritage of yoga.
Ruth is the Director of Studies for Dru Australia and loves working with a wonderful team of Dru teacher trainers across Australia, New Zealand, UK and Netherlands. She trains Dru Yoga Teacher Trainers as well as managing post graduate programs in Dru Yoga Therapy Course, Subtle Energetics, Post Graduate Mastery Course, Dru Meditation Mastery Course, and the Dru Back Care & Wellbeing Course as well as a suite of short Dru Yogic Philosophy Courses.
