✨ Nelle Rutecki ✨
The woman. The myth. The legend.
If you've practiced with Nelle, you've noticed the calm, grounded energy she brings into the room. Her teaching style effortlessly creates a container that supports you to move with intention while softening into your truest self - And we cant get enough of it! Her life reflects the same balance she encourages on the mat: strength paired with simplicity & discipline paired with joy. Her hope is that every student leaves class feeling a little more balanced, a little more connected & a little more at home in themselves. When asked what SALT means to her, her answer carried depth. “This is so much more than just a place to practice. It's a source of inspiration, a group of people who intentionally carve out time to go deeper, show up authentically, and allow themselves to be fully seen!” She describes our community of amazing humans as a wellspring: rich, generative & a beautiful reminder of what becomes possible when we choose to grow together. Teaching her very first class at SALT earlier this year was one of the moments she noticed this the loudest. After spending years away from leading large in-person classes following the pandemic, she was deeply moved by witnessing the grace, openness & presence that filled the studio room as everyone flowed together. It was a powerful reminder that this practice is at its most transformative when it's shared in community!
Originally from Houston Texas, Nelle now spends her days in Central WI growing food, raising beef and lamb, lifting heavy weights, and making memories with her husband, kids, and friends. When she's not at SALT, you'll likely find her with a cup of coffee in hand, enjoying a brisk walk, hitting a Camel Pose when you least expect it, or searching for the perfect bakery treat - Though after hot yoga... she'll happily take olives or pickles! We're incredibly grateful to have Nelle sharing her steady presence, wisdom & heart with our SALT family. If you haven't practiced with her yet, this is your sign!
