GO WITH THE FLOW
Ways You Can Yoga at Serenbe 17

Imagine you’re taking a rejuvenating hike through the preserved woods of Serenbe.After
a few miles, you come upon a small, wooden bridge crossing a tranquil creek and decide
to remove your shoes and flow through a yoga sequence. No distractions, immersed in
nature, completely at peace.This is Heather Ruth’s favorite way to practice yoga at Serenbe,
and its experiences like this that she is excited to bring to Serenbe Yoga for residents and
visitors alike.
“Having a yoga studio in a destination location like Serenbe is completely different
than studios in the city,” said Heather.“Locals seek a place to maintain regular practice while
visitors want a unique yoga session to add to their Serenbe experience.”
Since taking on SerenbeYoga in January 2018, Heather has hit the ground running – or
rather, vinyasa-ing – to provide those unique experiences. She brought Nigerian Dwarf goats
to Serenbe for GoatYoga, created a series of in demand CandlelitYin Restorative classes and
along with Alison Dagostino, another resident and certified instructor, will lead Aerial Yoga
classes beginning this Fall.
“Aerial is an amazing practice that can feel somewhat euphoric and magical. If you’ve
ever dreamed of running away and joining a circus, an Aerial Yoga class will give you the
same free and adventurous feeling without the risk,” said Heather.
Of course, it’s not all goats, candles and flying. Heather feels that an ongoing practice and
small details are important as well, and that is reflected in classes that might be more familiar
to the weekday yogi. Classes range from Hot, Power, Flow and Gentle Yoga for beginners as
well as Restorative and Pilates. Pilates instructor and chiropractor Julie Lord gears her classes
toward a holistic approach, utilizing essential oils, heated lavender eye pillows and other small
but significant extras, and Heather also oils, candles and ambient music while incorporating
Thai massage techniques into her Restorative Yin classes. A Waterfall Hike to Flow is a
weekend opportunity to get out on the trails and do yoga in the woods.
“Our backyard is miles of trails through the woods and our community includes an
organic farm.This way of living draws people that see the value of these amenities adding to
overall wellbeing.That yearn we all have to connect with nature, slow down and get back to
basics. I think that yoga draws a similar type of person, and that’s why yoga at Serenbe is so
special.”
