Carrie Ormerod Ruffra was in Yoga East's 1996 class of teacher trainees. She taught prenatal yoga at Baptist East Milestone for many years, was a massage therapist and trained in infant massage. She was found on July 4, 2012 at Otter Creek Park after having been missing for several hours. Her death was ruled a suicide by drowning. I've talked to several people who knew her, and we are all baffled and saddened by the circumstances of her death. She was a bubbly, cheerful, optimistic person who seemed to have many personal resources including lots of friends, a close, loving family, and a creative, artistic personality. She was very active, loved teaching yoga, and loved the outdoors and camping. Otter Creek Park was one of her favorite places.

I am so so sorry to hear of this; 4-5 years before I wandered into YE, she and I worked next to each other as floral designers at the same work table and I always admired her distinct creative style; she was in her teacher training then and would sometimes rush off to teach a yoga class and come back to the floral shop afterward so full of joy and light. Love and peace to her loved ones in their time of loss.
