Ruby is a beautiful, light presence. She clearly cares deeply for her studio and clients, offering the most lovely details: wonderful tea, a clean, loved space and props. Her classes are filled with mindful breathing and yogic philosophy, bringing many elements of the practice to light which are lost in many Westernized yoga studios. It's lovely to see someone bringing the true meaning of yoga to a Western environment. Very soothing to the soul.

Ruby is my favorite yoga teacher of all time. She creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and offers skilled, varied, and insightful instruction. Ruby's studio is in a great location, in a beautiful space, and she really brings people together. Her warmth and creativity, her voice and sense of humor, always make my day better.

Ruby is the most enthusiastic and attentive yoga instructor I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. Her classes are the highlight of my week as they leave me feeling energized and confident. The modifications she provides during class are suitable for people of any skill level or body type. I highly recommend her vinyasa classes. Thank you Ruby!

The sound meditation (December 22, 2017) was a wonderful experience for me. Not only did Ruby provide amazing sounds through the crystal bowls, gongs and more, she also prepared the participants with yoga exercises for full relaxation in order to be open as much as possible to the healing sounds. Before concluding the evening, she took time to support people returning to their bodies and grounding before leaving. As a colleague and friend, I was very impressed and I look forward to attending more.

When I am in Bellingham I make it a priority to attend Ruby's Kundalini class!!! Her pure joy, enthusiasm and commitment to her students experience is inspiring! I love her ease in teaching and I always benefit from her expanding expertise with her use of energy and sound healing with the Crystal Bowls and Gong!

I took my first yoga classes at Kokoro Yoga studio with Ruby and her classes have profoundly influenced my personal growth and helped to create a continual practice of yoga in my daily routine. I would highly recommend this yoga studio to everyone.

I have been attending Ruby's classes since January 2015. At first I only went once a week, but beginning in February I started going twice a week. I have "practiced" yoga half-heartedly, off and on, with several different teachers. Ruby is the best teacher I have ever had. There are several reasons why I will continue to work with Ruby. First, she is patient with those of us who are not so adept; she helps us find ways to participate without feeling left out by those who are more advanced. Second, she is very good at adapting each day's practice to accommodate the needs of her students whether they are having lower back, neck, shoulder (or whatever) problems; she begins the class with a plan and works in poses that will help the students there that day. This is especially true of the Gentle Yoga session. Third, she completely understands the various systems of the human body and teaches us how the various poses will benefit these systems. Fourth, she has a thorough and complete knowledge of the practice of yoga. Finally, her spirit of calm confidence and peace permeates each session. In sum, Ruby is a wonderful teacher!

My weekly yoga session on Wednesdays at 5:30 with Ruby is just what my body needs. She allows for different intensity with most of the poses, so the sessions are suitable for many different body types, levels of fitness and moods. Without yoga I am uncomfortable so am so glad that Ruby offers sessions that are so reliable and affordable. Great location downtown. The studio is spacious! And Ruby is full of love and creativity! Uplifting on many levels. THANK YOU, Ruby!

I have found knowledgeable, friendly instructors at Inspire Studio who offer a variety of classes for students, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Instructors skillfully guide students to their own levels of competency through a series of smooth, continuous flow of poses . In addition to teaching the technical aspects of yoga poses, instructors add a more subtle aspect, allowing students to attain a relaxed or spiritual level during the practice. This is all done in a studio that is spacious and has a warm sense of character.
