Ruby is a yoga and meditation teacher, Registered Occupational Therapist, and mom of two. She is the owner and studio director of Union Yoga + Wellness.
Born and raised in Montreal, Ruby discovered yoga and meditation in her late teens and quickly discovered the healing and health promoting benefits of both. Ruby earned her yoga teaching certification in 2010, and is passionate about de-mystifying yoga and meditation and making these transformative practices accessible to all, in a safe and supportive space. Her intention as a teacher is to facilitate a deepening awareness of the mind-body connection, and offer opportunities for students to see how qualities of mind like acceptance, patience, and equanimity can be cultivated with practice.
In her private practice, Ruby helps clients promote resilience, manage anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic pain, with mindfulness-based interventions including yoga and meditation. She is certified in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and has completed the Foundations of Mindfulness Meditation program at University of Toronto. To support and deepen her personal practice, Ruby attends regular silent retreats and continuing education courses.
