Myra K. Rucker
A Joyful Practice | Minneapolis, MN and Houston, TX
Myra K. Rucker (she/her) is a yoga teacher, and yoga student, who firmly believes in the benefits of “sthira sukham asanam” (Yoga Sutras, 2.46) – steady, joyful practice. Her introduction to yoga, practicing once a week between professional dancers and musicians (of various ages and fitness levels), quickly illustrated how yoga provides a path for anyone and everyone to be the best version of themselves.
A native Texan, Myra has studied with Robert Boustany, Rie Congelio, Paul Barrera, Meredith Bowerman, and Jasna Chavalo Abrams, and completed CorePower Yoga’s 200-Hour Teacher Training, (with the prenatal module led by Sarah Longacre). She has also completed Level I and Level II Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner and Vinyasa Teacher Training with Seane Corn.
Myra’s teaching philosophy centers around the fact that smiling changes brain chemistry. She is also inspired by the idea that yoga (union) – and life – are like a poem, which, as Robert Frost said, “. . . begins in delight and ends in wisdom.”
