I have been attending Ruth’s Pilates Yoga classes for over 10 years after hearing of the benefits of Pilates for strengthening the core and, in doing so, hoped to strengthen my back. I chose Ruth’s classes as she is highly qualified and her classes are small and cater for individuals. Ruth’s friendly, calming and encouraging manner is welcoming and puts me at ease during an, often, busy day. The exercises are always varied, interesting and challenging. I highly recommend Ruth’s classes. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and it doesn’t matter if you attend casually or every week. I always feel better afterwards!

I have had the pleasure of participating in Ruth’s classes for several years, and more recently Meditation. Her classes are always varied and challenging whilst catering for individual fitness levels and flexibility. As an active over 50 year old I enjoy the wellbeing and sense of achievement that I feel after participating in one of these classes. I recently became part of Ruth’s meditation group and feel immense benefit from the sessions and ongoing practise of the meditation techniques I have been taught .Ruth is always enthusiastic and displays tremendous commitment and belief in the philosophies behind the classes she teaches.

I found Ruth’s meditation sessions very comforting, instructive and peaceful.  I have learnt a lot.  As a beginner, I have much more to learn, but I have been able to use some of the theories and practices of iRest in my everyday life.  I have been assisted to deal with some issues that have been hanging around for a while, and the meditations have allowed me to be calm and deal with issues that come up in everyday life.  I particularly found your sessions on finding opposites to negative feelings and beliefs very helpful, and I find that I can reassure myself when negative thoughts, situations, and feelings come my way.  Thank you for your wisdom, your easy nature, and your ability to be a good teacher.  Thank you Ruth.

Ruth’s meditation classes have given me the tools to de-stress my life, by creating a mindful realisation and awareness of how our minds can sabotage our well-being.  Our thoughts are our interpretation of events due to beliefs and habits that may not necessarily be true or serve us now.  We have the power to be aware and not get caught up in the story of these thoughts, thereby acknowledging and accepting them through meditation we can allow them to pass on.  This opens space and calm for a more constructive mindful existence.  I would highly recommend Ruth’s course as the tools are very simply explained by practical application.  I feel empowered with new independence and confidence to move forward in life, alleviating conscious and unconscious anxiety with the tools I have learned and applied in my daily life.  Thank you Ruth

I look forward to my iRest Meditation sessions with Ruth, they are beneficial for my overall wellbeing. Instead of going to the gym, it has become my exercise for my mind, body & soul.
