Free Community Class- The Art of Play: a Kids Yoga Experience
Saturday July 25th 9am
umbrella canopy
Limited Capacity seats available
Step into a world where movement, imagination, and creativity come alive. The work of childhood isn’t school-it’s play. And that’s exactly what we’ll honor in this class. The Art of Play is a joyful, high-energy kids yoga class designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and celebrate the magic of being fully present. Through playful yoga poses, storytelling, games, music, and creative expression, children will explore how movement can be both fun and empowering. Kids will explore yoga as a powerful (and fun!) tool to feel both strong and relaxed. This class invites children to move freely, connect with their bodies, and tap into the magic of play, where confidence grows, energy flows, and relaxation comes naturally. Rooted in the belief that play is a powerful form of learning, this class encourages children to move freely, express themselves authentically, and discover the joy of being in their bodies.
Perfect for ages 4-10. No prior yoga experience needed-just come ready to play!
Come ready to move, laugh, and play.

Saturday, January 3rd, 2026 Big Ivy Beef Barn, Barnardsville, NC 9:30 AM–12:00 PM | $95 Optional: lunch + guided hike (extended time to ~2:30/3:00 PM)
Ease into the new year with gentleness, grace, rest, and clarity.
Join Ruth for a nourishing New Year’s workshop held in a stunning private event space in Barnardsville—just 20 minutes north of downtown Asheville. This morning mini retreat is designed to help you clear out the mental and energetic clutter of the past year and reconnect with what matters most as you step into a brand new year.
We’ll begin with sharing, connection, and community before shifting into a grounding slow flow and deeply restful restorative practice. Journaling, meditation, reflection, and breathwork will support you in gaining clarity and setting the tone for the year ahead. We’ll wrap up the morning with clear intentions for the year and a sweet ritual for a fresh start and a beautiful year.
Class concludes at noon, with the option to stay for a wholesome catered lunch and a peaceful guided hike on private land with Ruth.

Spring Equinox Day Retreat- a return to light
Big Ivy Beef Barn, Barnardsville NC
March 21st, 2026
9:30 - 4:00pm
All-inclusive Spring Equinox Retreat — yoga, guided journaling, seasonal ritual + catered lunch
Join me for a soul-nourishing Spring Equinox Day Retreat — a sacred pause to shed winter’s heaviness, awaken fresh energy, and realign with what’s ready to grow within you. The equinox marks equal parts light and dark, a powerful threshold moment of balance, renewal, and possibility. Together, we’ll honor this seasonal turning point through movement, breath, reflection, and connection in community.
Our day will include an uplifting yoga practice designed to invigorate the body and clear stagnant energy, grounding breath work to reset the nervous system, guided journaling to clarify intentions, and a simple releasing ritual to let go of what no longer serves you. We’ll share a nourishing catered lunch, enjoy time in nature, and close with space to integrate, rest, and connect.
Expect a blend of strength and softness, laughter and depth, structure and spaciousness — the signature rhythm of a day with me. Come exactly as you are. Leave lighter, clearer, and rooted in your next season of growth.
No yoga experience necessary. Just a willingness to show up for yourself.

What to expect… in this 90 minute play shop you’ll get some time to flow, groove and move all while experiencing the surprising joy of partner yoga.
Partner yoga helps us learn how to trust, laugh, communicate, take a risk and be silly. There are also opportunities to take a deep breath and connect a little more to your significant other. Sitting back to back and breathing together can be so calming to both parties and without using any words feeling close and connected. This is an opportunity to look at how you show up for your partner, to practice presence and listening and do something healthy for your body as a couple.
We’ll also have a little time for acro yoga (totally optional) which is also a fun playful way to build trust with your partner and have fun.
