I LOVE INSPIRE STUDIO! I started going to Ruby's classes in March 2013 and have continued to go there at least twice a week since then. I've gone to all of her classes (kundalini, gentle yoga, ashtanga, and vinyasa flow) and would recommend all of them. Ruby, the studio owner, is very special person and is the best instructor I've ever had. She is very welcoming and will work with you to make sure that you have the best yoga experience you can. Her teaching style makes yoga accessible to everyone, as she always includes gives variations for poses so that anyone can participate. Because of this her classes aren't intimidating like some other yoga classes I've been to. Her classes are great for beginners as well as those who have been practicing for a long time. She always switches her style up so that classes don't get repetitive, and she includes inspirational words while teaching. I love that Ruby focuses on the spiritual aspect of yoga as well as the physical aspect. Through studying with her I've become a much healthier person- physically, mentally, and spiritually. Again, she truly is a great teacher. The studio itself is amazing as well. I love how open the it is and how much light comes in the room. Inspire Studio hosts a lot of great community events- one of my favorites being the Women's Full Moon Meditation Circle. This, as well as Ruby's Kundalini for women class, are great opportunities for women who are looking to practice in a safe all female space. I've been to several other classes at the studio that are taught by other teachers and have found them to be enjoyable as well. There is a yoga class for everyone at this studio. This is my favorite studio I've been to! I highly recommend it. read more

They are short one star because several times I have arrived to go to a class advertised on the calendar to find no one there and maybe a note on the door. The good: Wide variety of classes, cool teachers (All of Rubys classes are good, Mollies Mellow yoga is a Monday night requirement in my house). Kirtans occasionally, always a treat. The friendliest yoga studio in town. Still people are often standoffish, lost in their own bliss but that is Bellingham. Most teachers have awesome in class individual coaching. How they could get even better: Encourage more community, build on what you have. Back to more classes. When Ruby had her baby the schedule seemed to slide. Branch out into some more spiritually oriented classes. Again build on what you have. Yoga these days is an individuals sport it seems, push back against that, read more

Ruby Koa is truly a Gem! Her energy and positivity radiate and her yoga studio is a calm and open space. Her Restorative Yoga class is offered Tuesday evenings and is one of my favorite things about Bellingham! A gentle way of yoga for all ages and body types and abilities that allows for gentle stretching, calming meditation, and heart opening. She provides all the props, mats, and blankets so just bring yourself, a friend perhaps, and an open heart. There is candle lit backdrops, singing bowls, gongs, and tea offered after every session. Come and enjoy one of the true gems of Bellingham and I promise you won't forget it. I secretly want the class to be small because it is so wonderful, but people should really know about this great opportunity! Check out Inspire Studio on Cornwall Ave. read more

This studio was a brilliant retreat. From the moment I stepped through the doors I felt welcomed, calm, and supported in my pursuit to nurture and nourish my body. This is actually a beautiful little community. I love that I am offered herbal tea at the end of each yoga session, and I love that I can use the mats and blankets freely. The owner Ruby even mixes her own essential oils to clean the mats. Ruby puts her own personal touch into everything that makes it feel so alive with positive and loving energy. I'd actually like to hire the whole studio just to hang out in on my own! Would be great to hold a regular mediation group in if anyone wants to get one started? read more

I am a professional photographer, who routinely rents various studio spaces in Portland, Seattle, and Bellingham...and I have to say this is one of my very favorites for both natural light and for those times when I am bringing my own equipment. The light, the brick walls, the spacious, clean and welcoming environment (along with nice bathroom facilities and changing areas) is perfect. It's also on the second story, so you have privacy from street traffic. Ruby is wonderful to work with, providing a simple and clear contract with competitive rates. LOVE this studio space!! read more

Inspire Studio is a spacious studio with amenities that serve classes, workshops, and events. With tall ceilings and windows to east and west, the room is expansive and also warm, and comfortable. A perfect place to take a yoga class or lead a yoga practice. A great example of community coming together to offer a variety of inspirational happenings. Ruby C. Koa and her husband Zeck Koa are friendly, welcoming and their vision for the studio is coming alive. It's a wonderful place to be a part whether for classes or for sharing your works! read more

I love this place and all that it offers. I'm "inspired" to write this review because no matter what I'm going through I always feel better when I leave Inspire than when I came. For the past several months I've been going through some health challenges that have affected my mobility, yet even though I can't do yoga like I used to, I still take so much from the sound healing events and the full moon Women's gathering that happens every month. Ruby and her team are all fabulous. Thank you! read more

This is by far my favorite! Not only are the surroundings peaceful and calm but the instructors are amazing. Both Ruby and Sarah are so wonderful.They are incredibly dedicated and always take the time to help.This is a rare combination to find. They really care plus you never feel awkward! Inspire Studio's mission is to show you the path of peace and good health. It's magic, I always float out the front door after my class! Thank you for being here for us!! We love you!

Inspire Studio is where I first started attending yoga class regularly, and it is my favorite yoga place to this day. It is a beautiful location with a peaceful ambiance. The teachers are all amazing, with a special shout out to Ruby, who has become a sensei of sorts to my yoga practice. Great for all levels of yoga expertise, from first timers to seasoned pros. Many classes offered at different prices and difficulty levels, with something for everyone! read more

Inspire is studio truly inspiring in every possible way. If the beautiful space could talk and move it would welcome all with open an loving arms. Just being in the space leaves one with the sense of calm and peace that is rare and a blessing to all who get the chance to spend there. This is likely a direct reflection of ownership and management, as Ruby is a truly kind and welcoming person. I look forward to spending time there in the future. read more

Inspire Studio is a great place because it is fairly quiet and very comfortable place to be for yoga. After a busy day, I want some quiet down time and Ruby, with the Kundalini yoga is a master at helping me achieve that. She is also very observant of my mistakes as a beginner and offers help. Much appreciated! And I can't wait until I have time to head back there! read more

Ruby Koa's Sound Bath experiences are amazing! Ruby creates a space that is truly beautiful, transformative and sacred. Ruby holds people with her full heart and one can feel that intention of love, compassion and sacred grace in all her offerings. I highly recommend Ruby Koa and Inspire studio offerings to everyone. - Semilla S read more

Ruby AND her classes are amazing. I tried several yoga studios in Bellingham before feeling right at home at Inspire Studio. Ruby's classes got me through the preparation of a cross country move, both mentally and physically. read more
