Ruby

Ruby is the founder of The Open Yoga Project, a social enterprise that brings adaptive yoga to young people, families and communities who are often excluded from mainstream wellbeing spaces. With a background in sport coaching and a First Class degree in Sport, Exercise and Health Science, Ruby has seen firsthand how much it matters when physical activity is designed with inclusion at its heart. Five years on the Access Sport youth board has been a big part of shaping that belief, inspiring her work and deepening her understanding of what genuine inclusion in sport looks like.

“Sport and physical activity can be powerful tools for wellbeing, but too many people never get the chance to experience them. Through joining the Access Sport Youth Board, I hope to use my experience to break down barriers that prevent participation in grassroots sport, creating equitable opportunities for the communities that need it most.”
