MEET YOUR GUIDE

Ruth Elliffe

After years of thriving in the high-stress environment of corporate leadership, Ruth’s transition to motherhood was a pivotal moment that brought new challenges and insights. She quickly realized the profound need for balance and healing in her life. Yoga, which started as a personal sanctuary, soon became her passion and her medicine.

Driven by her own transformative experiences with yoga and the serene beauty of the Canadian wilderness, Ruth envisioned a space where others could also find healing and peace. This vision gave birth to 46 Degrees North, a yoga and Pilates retreat center dedicated to helping individuals, especially women, navigate the challenges of life—from motherhood and career stress to menopause and beyond.

Ruth's commitment to wellness and community is woven into every element of the retreat, creating a nurturing environment where every guest can find renewal and strength. Through 46 Degrees North, Ruth offers not just a retreat, but a return to oneself, inspired by her own journey and her deep desire to share the healing power of nature and mindfulness with others.

TESTIMONIALS

Kind Words from Our Guests

"Attending a retreat at 46 Degrees North was a profoundly rejuvenating experience. As a mother and career professional, finding a true escape seemed nearly impossible until I arrived here. From the serene yoga sessions overlooking the Ottawa River to the comforting warmth of the sauna and the refreshing cold plunge, every aspect was perfectly attuned to healing. Ruth and her team made every moment feel personal and healing, providing not just physical relaxation but emotional renewal. I left feeling lighter, more centered, and incredibly grateful for the sanctuary Ruth has created."

TESTIMONIALS

"Just kicked off the new sunrise session Amazing way to greet the day! Strengthening! Invigorating! Thank-you for always bringing out the JOY Ruth!"

~ Renee Silke

"I have never been to a better yoga class than Ruth's. She is so caring and makes everyone feel welcomed. Her space is gorgeous with an amazing sauna and hot tub. If the sky was clear, Ruth would turn off the lights while we were in the hot tub so that we could see what looked like every star in the universe!! My favourite part will always be Ruth's awesome shavasana adjustments."

~ Emily Saurette

"I booked a Christmas season session for our clinic staff. Ruth created a personalized yoga class entitled “Holding space for Healers”. It was exactly what our hard working staff needed. She guided us though the movements with such care. Each person received one on one attention and beautiful custom essential oils."
