Hips and Knees with Dr Ruth - member feedback
Saturday 18 February was a lovely sunny day, although cold. We had no sun for at least a week but Dr Ruth Gilmore brought it with her on the day of her workshop.
After lunch and lots of chatting (it’s a great chance to catch up with former class mates) Ruth guided us to relaxation with a short Yoga Nidra; a time I’ve no doubt valued by many a yoga teacher in the room. The afternoon session took a similar format to the morning except the emphasis was focused on those other important joints…the knees.
Ruth supported her training with simple to follow diagrams and skeleton models which those attending found very beneficial. An invaluable handout was provided to help us cement the day’s learning and refer to it when we leave.
From the comments I overheard and those made directly to me I believe everyone attending thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Ruth’s humorous and down to earth teaching style was terrific. As a yoga teacher I will remember in future to have modifications ‘up my sleeve’ as Ruth put it for those with hip and knee problems.
I was delighted to learn at the end of the day Ruth will return to YFNI in September. She will lead a workshop on women’s well-being which I’ve no doubt will prove popular both to ladies and gents teaching yoga.
