Palm Springs Gentle Yoga with Ron Splude
THE place to do Yoga while in Palm Springs…
It is my personal goal to make Yoga accessible to EVERYONE, regardless of age or physical condition; to remind us that Exercise is Medicine. It is my desire to help make physical activity and exercise a standard part of disease prevention and treatment in the United States.
As part of a maturing population, many of us are turning to Yoga to improve overall health and muscle strength, reduce stress and increase flexibility, all while feeling more energetic. New research shows that "Yoga as Medicine" is emerging as a trend in heath care; "Western Medicine" has discovered that Yoga is a valuable therapeutic tool for many health conditions. Many medical doctors refer their patients to my Yoga Classes.
Gentle Yoga Class has many benefits. It is a wonderful way to help create a healthy body while teaching us how to alleviate stress, in a relaxed, social environment. Yoga is a way of staying connected to our bodies and our community, maintaining our independence and allowing us to feel youthful and in control of our own lives.
As a Certified Yoga Therapist, my Gentle Hatha Yoga instruction is ideal for those interested in beginner Yoga poses. Most students find that Gentle Yoga can help provide relief from physical and emotional pain while bringing clarity to their lives.
To complement the natural stress relief and healing poses of Gentle Hatha Yoga, I also offer a variety of personal therapies including Private Yoga Classes, Rehabilitative Yoga Therapy, Polarity & Reiki Energy Balancing and Meditation. I also have extensive training and experience in working with individuals who have had joint replacement.
Private Gentle Yoga Classes allow the student to focus on their own unique needs without competition. One-on-one sessions can be very complimentary to rehabilitation (from surgery, knee or hip replacement) and create a gentle form of stress relief in a private setting; for many others it is the beginning of creating their own individual, private Yoga Practice.
Whether you are unable to attend class, or want to have a Gentle Private Yoga at home in addition to class, feel free to Contact me for more information.
With over 5 years of Certified training, and over 10 years of teaching experience, my Gentle Yoga Classes have become a respected part of the Palm Springs Yoga community, something that you can rely upon to provide a safe and practical methodology for learning Yoga Poses. To create balance in my own life, in addition to my daily Yoga and Meditation practice, I do weight training along with Pilates Plus Core Balancing.

Innovation and Renovation
Having an in-home yoga sanctuary had long been a dream for Sterios, Lawrence, and Johnson, who had all devoted years to practice before making their ideas a reality. But Mary Brent Wehrli had a different approach. "I always thought yoga was spectacular but never had the time," she recalls. She seriously took up the practice only when she retired. The 62-year-old former social worker began taking three classes a week at a local studio. Around the same time, as she renovated her Palm Springs, California, home, Wehrli decided to build a free-standing yoga studio alongside her husband's new art studio.
She'd been intimidated by the idea of doing yoga at home, until her teacher, Ron Splude at Urban Yoga, reminded her, "It's called 'practice' because it's something you practice and integrate into your life." Soon afterward the building was complete, and Wehrli tried out her 266-square-foot yoga room, where a wall of windows affords breathtaking views of the garden. That view, she says, provides inspiration, much as an altar would, for her daily practice. "I was shocked that I could practice alone and enjoy it so much," Wehrli says. "It's very empowering." Now that's something to come home to.
