Welcome to Episode #4 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Ruta Keriane onto the show. She is a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner from Lithuania.

I met Ruta Keriane in Rishikesh in the summer of 2019 at Punyah Yoga. I was taking an Ashtanga Alignment and Adjustment course at Punyah Yoga while Ruta was taking her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training course there as well. When I met Ruta I was amazed. I mean, really and truly amazed. She’s this driven, dynamic 42 year old woman who has two children in their early twenties and she’s never tried yoga before and she is here in India wanting to become a yoga teacher? What!?

What’s even more impressive? Within just a couple months of getting back to Lithuania, she opened up her own studio there. That’s right. This brand new yoga student turned yoga teacher became a studio owner all in the matter of a few months.

Once Ruta knew her path, she wasted no time getting started.

Tell me more about Ruta…

Ruta Keriane is from Lithuania, from a small town called Mazeikiai. She is 44 years old and is mother of two sons who are 24 and 22 years old.
