She is drawn to the extensive lineages that both of these traditions maintain, and also their emphasis on the teacher-student relationship. It has been her experience that having a one-on-one relationship to a teacher is essential for progress in yoga. This is what led Whitney to focus her energy and efforts to working with one-on-one with students. She finds that students are able to work on a deeper level and make greater strides in the context of private sessions. Whitney is honored to assist and bear witness to each student's hard work and transformation though yoga. Whitney has taken 3 extended trips to India in the past few years to further her studies; two trips to study at KPJAYI with Sharath Jois (Mysore, India), and one to study her other passion, Ayurveda, with Dr. Vasant Lad (Pune, India). She plans to return to India yearly to continue my studies in both subjects. http://www.whitneypaterson.com https://yogaheightsdc.com/yoga-heights-mysore/

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
