Bright and bubbly Instagram yogini

@pinkchampagne13, Ruth discovered yoga

amidst a highly stressful sales & marketing job

in the pharmaceutical industry. Stepping on

the mat on a regular basis allowed her to find

peace and calm amid chaos in her life. It also

helped her tremendously through a difficult

phase when she lost loved ones, and also had

to make a career switch to become a financial

planner. As a regular practitioner for seven

years, she remains very grateful to yoga—the

constant solace in her life.
