Profiles: Ruth Walshe

Ruth Walshes’ love of yoga began in 1998. She is a certified Iyengar Teacher having trained under Grainne Gilleece.

Iyengar yoga is a traditional approach as guided by BKS Iyengar: it is a strong practice that works sequentially through the body, aligning the muscles and bones safely and correctly enabling the physiological system to function at its best.
Poses are held for longer and props are often used to deepen the pose and/or assist in teaching the body the correct structure of the asana. She has realized the power of this approach through her own practice and that of others as it works through the body bringing awareness, releasing blockages, and creating freedom and space in the heart and mind.
