Hello — I’m Ronen Kauffman.
For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching, learning, and helping people move forward. I’m a veteran public school teacher, a yoga and meditation educator, and a Yoga Teacher Trainer through YogaRenew.
Over the years, I’ve worked with an unusually wide range of students and communities: children and adults, corporate leaders, volunteer groups, adults with profound developmental disabilities, new practitioners, experienced teachers, and everyone in between. I’ve taught traditional subjects like math, reading, writing, science, and social studies — but also communication, resilience, empathy, teamwork, and how to approach growth with humility and humor.
My teaching style is direct, clear, and approachable. I believe learning works best when people feel supported, challenged appropriately, and met exactly where they are. As a learning specialist, I focus on helping students build a strong foundation first — then mapping a clear, accessible path toward meaningful progress, both in practice and in life.

Food, not bombs. Bikes, not bombs. Communities, not bombs. Heal the world. ❤️ We are all innately creative; creating energizes us. Weirdly, some use that divine gift to finding creative ways to kill other people. But what if everyone simply refused to use their divine creative energy to make bombs? What would happen if everyone just said “No, I won’t do that.” No one is just following orders. #bikesnotbombs #yoga #bikelife #meditation #stopwar
I live in a place where it’s possible to walk for an hour without seeing even a scrap of grass. A densely populated, busy place. 🚴👬🏃🏽♂️But a few blocks from my place is this decommissioned reservoir, turned into a walkable urban oasis. Wedged quietly in the concrete grid, groundhogs and 🐢 turtles, birds 🐦⬛taking dust baths and a secret jungle packed into a 10-foot wide strip tracing a city block. 🌱If your nervous system could use some help, go touch some dirt and run away from a bee. Connect with nature every day. That’s yoga, too. #nature #connection #source #daily #practice

Ok, you can do the arm balance - but what does that get you? Achievement will leave you flat if your heart isn’t anchored in the divine. ❤️ You want movement without the spiritual piece? Go to gymnastics. Go to CrossFit. That’s fine! When doing yoga asana, the spiritual piece IS the class, even if it looks like jumping around on a rubber rectangle. ❤️🔥 Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. 📸: @someshellyphotography #yoga #bhakti #yogateacher #koundinyasana #devotion

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 🔥We all say, “I’m just trying to get through life.” But peace is a decision, not something controlled by external forces. You have to win within. ❤️ No one is going to do this work for you - it’s yours. 🙏🏽 “For those who have conquered the mind, it is their friend. For those who have failed to do so, the mind works like an enemy.” Bg 6.6 ✨ Join me and @isaaabrand at @yogarenewhoboken for our incredible 200 hr YTT Summer Intensive! Link in bio, DM for details. #yoga #ytt #yogajourney #yogi #grateful
I just really like yoga. #yoga #yogi #partneryoga #inversion #reel
Your human experience is a gift you’ve been given - for the purpose of realizing that you are so much more than the costumes you wear, the roles you play, and the things that happen. 🧿 The yoga practice helps us to stop misidentifying ourselves with the temporary things we pick up and put down in this life, and instead remember that we are divine eternal spirit souls, here to learn and remember our true nature. ❤️📿🙏🏽 #yoga #yogateacher #practice #why #armbalance
Cruising toward 50 years old in a couple months and counting my damn blessings every moment. Look around, friends - you’re experiencing a cosmic reality, right now. *That* is abundance mentality. 🙏🏽 Thanks for following. All praise to my teachers. #yoga #love #devotion #surrender #abundance
