Where yoga classes are taught

Ruth Jansa - started teaching in 2000. She started taking yoga classes after a major injury to her lower spine. After deciding not to have back surgery, she knew she needed something to strengthen her back muscles. Ruth also realized that aerobics, weightlifting, and even walking exercises were not possible for her at the time. She was fortunate enough to find an Austin Yoga instructor, Shannon Potts-Hickey, who was able to work with her and her back problems.

Ruth wanted to show people that you do not have to "kill yourself to get back into shape". Yoga is a gentle way to start listening to your body. She started Yoga On The Go" in 2000 in small communities east of Austin.

Ruth has taught yoge to people with various medical conditions such as MS, scoliosis, various back problems, strokes, POTS, HBP, chronic fatique, fibromyalgia, etc.
