Ruth Knill

My journey to becoming a holistic health practitioner has been anything but conventional. I began my career in the world of theoretical science, earning a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and working in the field of astronomy. However, my growing fascination with the mind-body connection led me to explore new horizons in wellness and healing. Drawn to integrative health practices, I immersed myself in the study of yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I became a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, earning my Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MOAM). My quest for understanding human movement and cognition then brought me to the Feldenkrais Method®, where I became a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® (GCFP). In my practice, I uniquely blend Feldenkrais techniques with yoga, fostering improved body awareness and movement efficiency in my clients. I'm also certified in Jeremy Kraus Approach (JKA) Solvents & Glue®, a method that focuses on strength and mobility.. Currently, I offer Yoga and Feldenkrais classes at The Arlington Center (369 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474) on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:30 AM. My integrative approach combines various techniques to enhance overall well-being, drawing on my diverse background to provide a comprehensive approach to health. I believe that my unconventional path - from the abstract world of mathematics to the hands-on practice of holistic healing - gives me a unique perspective on wellness. It allows me to approach each client's needs with both analytical rigor and intuitive understanding.
