Meet Ruby Yoga Instructors

With nearly a decade of teaching experience and over 500 hours of advanced training, studio owner Laura Ruby guides students through practices that support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Her approach is grounded in compassion, attentiveness, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey.

“We create a warm, supportive environment where students feel safe to explore their practice, build strength and resilience, and cultivate inner ease,” Laura said. “Whether teaching dynamic flows or restorative practices, I aim to meet students where they are and help them grow with kindness, clarity, and confidence.”​​​​​

Arianne began her yoga journey more than 20 years ago. In 2020, she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training with Shayna Hiller at the Yoga Collective out of Santa Monica, California and is also certified in Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga. She infuses smart alignment with playful flow, breath work, and includes yoga philosophy to help students find inspiration and happiness in daily life. She believes yoga is for every human and possibly some very zen animals. Arianne teaches All Levels Flow on Monday and Wednesday, Restorative on Friday and leads monthly Sound Baths.

Belly dance is so much more than just dance—it is a beautiful art form rich with history, vibrant culture, incredible music, and expressive movement. My own journey started with absolutely zero prior dance instruction. I took one class, completely fell in love, and never looked back! I continuously refine my craft by studying under world-famous instructors, deepening my training in Raqs Sharqi (Egyptian style), American Cabaret, and Middle Eastern Folkloric dance (Raqs Baladi).

​

For the last 3 years, I have shared this passion by teaching within my community. My classes are dedicated to building a community rooted in positive body image and celebrating who you are in this moment. I deeply believe in the power of women coming together to lift each other up, creating a safe, empowering space where we can embrace our bodies, find our strength, and support one another through the beautiful expression of dance.

She brings an open heart and many years of personal practice to her teaching and strives to create a space where each person can find their place of comfort and ease on the mat. Within that environment we can find the expansiveness of our practice, the breath that connects to the magic of movement, and the peace that comes within as a result of that connection.
