Dance has been an integral part of her life since early childhood which is being complemented by yoga since 2017.

Her class encourages a sense of play, and may borrow elements from a variety of schools of yoga, classical Pilates, floor barre, ballet, contemporary dance, or other movement-based somatic practices. Through her class Ruby hopes her students feel better equipped to find grace moving through life’s countless transitions.

AMMAR BIN-AQEL

After starting his journey in athletics and later moving into bodybuilding, he discovered just how much the body can adapt, grow, and recover when trained the right way.

His classes are energetic, challenging, and packed with motivation, team spirit, and plenty of laughter. Expect to push your limits, surprise yourself, and, yes, the occasional burpee — but we promise you’ll be okay!
