Ronen has been instructing Yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong since 1995. He is an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance instructor. Continuing to explore and practice the ancient ways of Yoga and Tai Chi, as well as other Eastern methods and philosophies, Ronen stresses in his classes elements of relaxation, elongation and breathing. The Yoga instructed is in line with Sivananda Yoga. Tai Chi practice includes practice of the basic moves, the Yang short (24) form, Qigong, meditative and breathings techniques, as well as the Dao and I-Ching philosophies behind the practice.

Ronen’s primary interest is in individual and personal exploration of the body, and through it, a glimpse into the soul.
