Carrie Ruffner
Carrie is a physical therapist, a CranioSacral Therapist and a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Instructor. She was introduced to the Himalayan Institute by her first yoga teacher, Yoga Betsy, in 2004 and is deeply honored to be a part of this living tradition.
Carrie is a life-long learner and has also extensively studied Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Ayurveda and Reiki . She teaches yoga and meditation at Ritz Mountain Yoga and as a volunteer with The Prison Yoga Project. She opened Carrie Ruffner Body Balance to create a space where she could blend traditional Western medicine with these Eastern healing arts, supporting her patient’s body/mind and hearts.
Carrie has found her own Vishoka Meditation journey to be truly transformative, enriching every aspect of her life. She is thrilled to be certified as a Vishoka Meditation Teacher and have the ability to share this wisdom with others.
"Vishoka Meditation has been a truly transformation practice, touching and enriching every aspect of my life. The knowledge of the Himalayan Institute's faculty, their compassion and support, made learning VM seem as natural as breathing."
