*About the Instructor:
Kevin Ryan spent nearly all of his working years as an educator and mentor. For twenty-eight years, he taught and coached at the secondary level, followed by a six year stint writing and teaching at The Ohio State University. He published two books, Seeing God Everywhere: Living Your Life as a Prayer, and Praying All that You Are with All that Is: A Spirituality of Prayer. Retiring from classroom teaching, Kevin has spent the last ten years guiding “seekers” in the flows of yoga and fitness, and in the quietude of meditation, while offering his services at retreats and speaking engagements. A former runner, now walker, biker, cross-country skier, backpacker and overall outdoor enthusiast, Kevin now devotes a large portion of his time communing with nature, and studying its healthful benefits.
