Stephanie Adams

Stephanie Adams Ruff is inspired by the awareness, acceptance, and transformation that yoga offers. She has witnessed—and personally experienced—how a regular practice can cultivate peace, authenticity, connection, and joy.

With deep gratitude for the practice, Steph honors yoga’s rich tradition in both her life and her teachings. Every three years, she leads Return to the Source, a pilgrimage to India where students study and experience yoga at its roots. She brings over 30 years of experience and devotion to this lifelong path.

Alongside her yoga work, Stephanie has decades of education, training, and hands-on experience in orthopedic exercise and fitness. A certified personal trainer since 1998, she created Strength45, a community-centered, 45-minute metabolic strength conditioning class combining dumbbells, bodyweight, and a joint-friendly approach to progressive overload. With an emphasis on load, range of motion, and smart recovery, Strength45offers the metabolic and longevity benefits of heavy lifting—delivered in just 45 minutes. The program is accessible, adaptable, and designed to help participants train not just hard, but wisely.

Bringing together her love of yoga, biomechanics, orthopedic exercise, and movement education, Steph also developed SAYF—a comprehensive program rooted in anatomy, movement mechanics, and injury prevention for yoga asana and other movement practices. SAYF reflects her commitment to helping students build a sustainable, lifelong asana practice—one that often leads to personal growth, deepens self-inquiry, and opens the door to spiritual awakening through the broader path of yoga.

Roll & Recovery Flow
mit Stephanie Adams
1 Stunde
60-minute, breath-led practice designed to support mobility, reduce tension, and help your body recover and adapt over time. This class integrates foam rolling with traditional yoga using the roller as both a release tool and a supportive prop. Through gentle rolling, mindful movement, and breath awareness, you’ll improve mobility, support joint function, and enhance coordination. Rooted in the understanding that fascia is a whole-body communication system—and that the lymphatic system relies on movement, breath, and pressure changes to circulate—this practice supports both physical recovery and nervous system regulation. You’ll move slowly and with intention, exploring progressive range of motion and ease over intensity, creating the conditions for your body to reorganize, restore, and move with greater clarity and resilience.

60-minute, steady-paced yoga class designed to help you move better, feel better, and support your body for the long term. This practice blends mindful, accessible movement with a focus on mobility, posture, and overall body patterning and function.

You’ll also support your nervous system, ease stress, and create more freedom in how you move and feel. Breath awareness and moments of reflection are woven in to support presence and connection. Class begins with a short breathing meditation and ends with relaxation in savasana.

Baby and Me Movement Calling all Gorge mamas and your precious babes - let's gather, move together, and cultivate community! This special postpartum movement class series will provide a supportive space for mamas and your pre-crawling babes to bond through a nourishing movement practice. We will move in ways that help heal, rebuild, and strengthen our bodies after childbirth, and alleviate the common tight/sore spots that come with motherhood. There will be a focus on core and pelvic floor reintegration, bodyweight strength exercises, therapeutic stretching, self-myofascial release work, and sustainable ways to move through daily babycare to prevent tension patterns from taking root in your body. Throughout class, we will weave in creative movement with your baby, and specific movements just for your baby. This is time for you, mama, to move your body for physical and emotional wellbeing, connect with other local mamas, and share in the joy of movement with your little one. We will use various props to support our movement practice. Please bring a baby blanket to use during class to place over the studio props, and anything else that will make your time in class more comfortable. Your baby doesn't have to be present at every class, or any class, if you'd rather take this time for some solo mama movement. The structure of these classes is very flexible and adaptable! Nursing, diaper changing, crying babies, sleeping babies, and playful babies are all welcome in this space. About your teacher, Jessica Valentín: Jessica is passionate about supporting women through the seasons of their lives with holistic movement and wellness guidance. With her extensive training as a professional dancer, and over a decade of experience teaching yoga and functional movement, she brings embodied wisdom to facilitating movement guidance for others. Since navigating the seasons of pregnancy and postpartum in her own body, she has become especially interested in helping women understand the nuances of moving in their bodies during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. As a mama of two, Jessica offers practical and relatable movement guidance for new mothers. She and her baby boy are really looking forward to sharing this communal movement experience with you and your sweet babe. May 23rd - June 27th, 1:30pm - 2:30pm Cost: $110 for 6 class series
