Rudy Peirce

Legacy Faculty

Rudy Peirce, MA, E-RYT 1000, YACEP, AYT, LVCYT, has practiced and taught yoga and meditation for more than 40 years. A Kripalu Yoga teacher since 1983, he guides gentle, accessible yoga, using a mindful, uniquely self-empowering approach that facilitates deep release for beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Designated a Kripalu Legacy Faculty member, he served as a teacher trainer for the Kripalu School of Yoga for decades. In 2020, Rudy and his wife Joyce founded Gentle Yogis—an online practice space that offers life-changing daily classes as well as weekly gentle yoga classes and advanced teacher trainings.   

"Rudy is a sage, in my opinion. He exudes wisdom and experience with great humility. He presents himself as unconditionally supportive. And he has a wicked sense of humor. He’s a true inspiration, and I feel lucky to be able to be taught by him." — Brian Henderson, YTT student
