Thrive with Ruth Website launch!
Ngā mihi o te tau hou Pākehā! Happy New Year. Welcome to my first post to introduce my website. After many hours in front of the computer (with Yoga breaks) it is complete and ready for your viewing pleasure.
Kia ora, ko Ruth Cohen tōku ingoa, I am, among other things, a Yoga Teacher and Fermented Food Adventuress. Check it out ThrivewithRuth.org and subscribe to my seasonal blog. I will post when the seasons shift and I am drawn to share my musings, recipes, Yoga shapes….
What are the benefits of preparing your own, and eating fermented foods?
Much has been said about the benefit to our immune system, gut and mental health from eating fermented foods. Taking that extra step to prepare you own ferments brings you closer to your immediate environment, to your community and can be a form of meditation.
Sourcing or growing your own vegetables connects you with community, and the seasons around you while preparing the ferments engages and focuses all your senses. Fermenting can be a social or community event. This is part of a wholistic lifestyle, connecting us to our environment, community and microbiome within and around us. Contact me to talk about your next food adventure!

Online Yoga classes start Mon Jan 17
We live in interesting times and I am learning to embrace them. Online Yoga will be on zoom, I will be able to see you, if you choose, for adjustments to alignment or if you ask me to have a look.
Yoga is a deeply internal experience, moving and listening to your body takes all your attention. Yoga can keep you in the present, letting all other thoughts, worries and distractions fall away. Practicing Yoga in your own home can help in this process.
When you sign up for Thrive with Ruth online Yoga, I can help you find the perfect place in your home to practice Yoga. Everyday items and furniture around your house that can be used as Yoga gear. Any barriers to Yoga you feel you have, feel free to contact me to discuss them!
Consider the humble chair, the cause of so much back pain and discomfort….however, with the careful application of Yoga+Chair, can be transformed into a tool for freedom from lower back and pelvic pain.
One of the ways this can be done is simply by getting up from the chair, turning to face it and, keeping your legs as wide as the chair legs, bend forward slowly until you reach your happy place in the forward fold shape, then place your hands on the back of the chair or the seat, where ever they reach, and…..BREATH, until you feel it’s time to move and do something else, enjoy this little interlude of chair repurposing for every 45min to an hour that you sit in said chair.
