I would like to highly recommend Ruth Oliver. I have been doing Pilates classes incorporating yoga movements now for many years. Ruth comes to my home and we do exercises that are specific for my needs and capabilities. Ruth brings with her a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I am extremely grateful to Ruth for keeping me flexible. I have scoliosis and disc degeneration and without Ruth’s care and an excellent program, I would be extremely stiff and quite immobile today.

I`m lucky enough to have done many of Ruth’s classes for some years now and more recently iRest Meditation. Ruth has a strong knowledge of the body and how to keep it in shape but more importantly knows how to help us connect to our deeper selves and quiet our minds both through exercise and meditation. i have always found it difficult to meditate but with Ruth`s excellent instruction, incredibly soothing voice and openness with her own experiences of how to integrate a quiet mind into our lives, I`m getting there. To me she is a mentor and an inspiration. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone wanting to develop a deeper mind body connection in a really safe nurturing environment.

I have found Ruth’s meditation course invaluable in helping me to cope with a chronic disease. Ruth is a gifted teacher of meditation and her ability to take you to a relaxed and meditative state is incredible. Her meditations are calming and provide comfort on difficult days. I wish I had of known the benefits of meditation sooner. Everyone can benefit from developing awareness and becoming more mindful – it can be life changing. I can highly recommend giving it a try. It is something that I will continue to practice for the rest of my life.

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!

The Conscious Confidence and Self Esteem course taught me tools to love myself better and have more choices in my life. I’m deeply grateful to Ruth Oliver, whose insightful and compassionate facilitation made this possible. Ruth seamlessly combines Western cognitive techniques with Eastern meditative practices to create a diverse and powerful learning experience. Her wisdom, levity and grace made me feel safe and supported even when working through deeply personal challenges. This course had a profoundly constructive effect on my life, I’d recommend it to anyone.
