Ruby opened me up figuratively and literally in a series of one-to-one yoga sessions across about 18 months.  During our sessions (and outwith) I felt that she was focused on me and had a real compassion for me.  There was so much more to our time together than the 90 minutes of yoga practice. The time that Ruby took before and after our sessions to hear me and advise me led eventually into some 3 months of formal coaching.  I would describe that coaching as being formative for the many positive changes that I have achieved during and since that time.

I practiced yoga and mediation with Ruby for about a year before I moved back to the States. Her gentle and natural way of being made me feel safe to open up energetically and physically. My flexibility increased, mentally I felt more clear and emotional I felt stable and balanced. The sessions were sometimes  challenging but always fun. We shared a lot of laughter. Thank you, Ruby.

DIANA T.

I always looked forward to my weekly yoga and meditation sessions with Ruby. She has a way to make you feel completely relaxed even in a challenging pose. Her casual but always discerning teaching style helped me improve my physical strength as well as my flexibility and balance. I would also say that my sleep patterns changed for the better during the time I practiced with her regularly.
