  • I had a wonderful time at the retreat. Great teacher, great food and great ambience. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much!

  • Ruben does a great job of planning the schedule for his retreats – the pace of the yoga practices and the space for rest mixed in with optional planned activities. I really appreciate Ruben's style of teaching, the way he structures his classes and flows. I highly recommend Ruben's retreats and look forward to the next one!

  • Ruben put together a great program! Every detail was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy the experience. The villa was beautiful and the food was outstanding! We all had a great time.

    Bernie (US), 2024

  • I haven’t stopped telling all my friends about Ruben’s retreat. His experience in ballet gives him a unique understanding of the body, its ability and its limits. Most of all his sense of fun creates an ambiance which turns a random group of people into friends.

    — Sophia (UK), 2023

  • Highly recommend to anyone whether a beginner or more advanced student. Ruben's retreats are always beautifully curated; amazing location and lots of beautiful details to soothe your mind’s eye.

    — Doireann (UK), 2023

  • The Tuscany retreat was an amazing experience. The combination of yoga, amazing food and wine together with lovely activities such as pasta making, wine tasting, and ceramics was so good. Ruben is a fantastic yoga teacher, who’ll give you the confidence and the good feeling about your yoga practice.
