Carla Howe Ruffo

She specializes in vinyasa and gentle flow classes that incorporate meditation and breathwork. She first found yoga in the late 1990’s through Rodney Yee’s instructional yoga videos. Decades later, after her father’s passing and a chronic health diagnosis, she found a steady practice in Morgantown, West Virginia (where she lived for five years) that ultimately led her to Suncrest Yoga’s teacher training program under Nicole Yost Ross--and it changed her life through routine practice, strong friendships and a deepened understanding of herself! In 2024 her yoga dreams came true when she studied under Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee to earn her 300-hour yoga teaching credential. Outside of yoga, Carla is a competitive Michigan Masters Swimmer, leads a team of education data system experts, and enjoys quality time with her husband, friends, family, and pets. And she loves coffee.
