Ron Hayes, RYT

Ron gives thanks for the opportunity and volition to practice yoga in this lifetime. Ron’s journey on the path of yoga began, unbeknownst to him at the time, in his early teens when his aunt took him to have his palm read. The fortune teller said “You need to learn to stand on your head.” Some 15 years later, Ron had just started to practice yoga. On a snowy February night, Ron was the only student to show up to class. When the teacher asked “Have you ever done Headstand?” the seed that lay dormant for so many years sprouted, and from this one pose a casual exercise blossomed into a spiritual practice. Ron teaches in the vinyasa style, linking movement with breath, training the body to train the mind. His goal is to create a challenging, non-competitive environment where students can plant or awaken the seeds to grow their own practice. Strength and flexibility are not pre-requisites--as long as we practice with full effort, we attain full victory. Ron is a Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance, and he bows in gratitude to his teachers and theirs, and to all the students, who are his teachers as well.
