Ruth Gilmore was a full-time lecturer at the Queen's University of Belfast for many years, first in Physiology and then in Anatomy. She took early retirement in order to devote more time to yoga, but continued for a while to contribute part-time to the University's Nursing Education programmes. Ruth is well-remembered for her teaching skills by a generation of Queen's medical graduates, and was awarded prizes for teaching by the Faculty of Medicine. She is a qualified yoga teacher with additional training and expertise in the use of yoga for help with various medical conditions. Ruth has worked for over a decade with the Yoga Biomedical Trust (YBT) at the Yoga Therapy Centre in Islington, London, and for several years with the Life Centre, London (LC). She is responsible for Anatomy and Physiology tuition on the YBT/LC's revised fully modular Yoga Therapy Diploma course, one of the world's leading yoga training programmes. She has also presented both yoga and anatomy adult education classes for the Queen's University of Belfast, and contributes to a variety of other educational and training courses.

Ruth's background of anatomical and teaching skills, combined with her easy and gentle style, make her classes enjoyable as well as relaxing and beneficial. Her firm belief is that everyone of any age, and of whatever state of health, can practise yoga from their very first class; all it takes is the willingness to give it a try, plus a teacher who knows how to make the practice accessible to all.
