Ruby Bhati
Ruby Bhati is a Yoga and Self-Discovery Coach based in Chicago, Illinois, and the Founder of TruYogi Inc., where she supports executives and professionals in building well-being, resilience, and clarity through yoga, meditation, and self-awareness practices. With a background in engineering, business, and technology, she previously worked in roles across IT consulting and corporate leadership before transitioning into wellness and coaching. Over time, she developed a multidisciplinary career that bridges structured corporate experience with holistic health and personal transformation work.
Her professional journey spans more than a decade in technology, consulting, and operations, including leadership roles in global organizations where she managed teams, client relationships, and strategic initiatives. After years in corporate environments, she began exploring yoga and self-discovery as a way to address burnout, balance, and long-term well-being. This personal transformation became the foundation for her coaching philosophy, which emphasizes integrating body, mind, and awareness to improve both personal and professional performance.
Through TruYogi Inc., Ruby now focuses on guiding individuals and organizations toward sustainable well-being by combining practical wellness tools with deeper self-inquiry practices. She works with clients on stress management, emotional regulation, and lifestyle alignment, aiming to help them reconnect with clarity and presence in their daily lives. Her work reflects a consistent theme across her career: helping people unlock higher performance and fulfillment by developing inner stability and self-understanding.

What do you attribute your success to?
I would say spirituality, a lot of that. My research and knowing what I'm doing - that confidence has come from preparation. I'm in good hands when people come to me because I've done the work. And I think we are guided as well by divine forces. I feel chosen when it comes to this work, like I was meant to do this.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Listen to your heart. You don't have to do something which is not aligning with who you are. That advice helped me look at my choices again and again and be fully convicted in my decisions. I realized I don't have to do the 9 to 5 forever, and if I'm working for others, I should think about working for myself and working for people to see what comes of it. And I think it's working.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Believe in your beauty - you are beautiful. Be positive always and think healthy, think positive. Do what you love doing rather than just doing routine things which you are not liking. I think they should cut off from life and take time to just think clearly. You're not going to lose anything if you take time to think clear. I know people in my field who have visited the Himalayas just to get that clarity of mind by not doing anything, just sitting and thinking about it, leaving all the luxuries of life behind. Take that time for yourself and be clear about what you want to do with your life, rather than being unhappy doing what you are doing.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
People are running too much after material things, thinking that happiness lies there. There's a lot of show-off right now with social media and everything, and it creates pressure that happiness lies in this thing or that thing. People are gullible - they think happiness really lies in what the other person is holding because of what they're seeing and what's being told to them. But I have met so many of these people who are really depressed, even the people who are telling about happiness are really, really depressed. The challenge is breaking that conditioning that others are happy and your life is not good. I think it's with most people these days. The challenge is making them believe that happiness is so much of a balance of inner world and outer world. I'm not saying you have to quit everything in the outer world, but it's a balance of what happens inside of you as well, and more of that. Making people pause and think is the challenge, because there's no time for people to really pause and think deeply. They feel anxious if they stop, like they're lagging behind, especially with AI and stuff - it's a lot of pressure on people.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity would be my top value, because that has everything in it - truth, honesty, how you work, how you take life. Then, having love and kindness for people. I think kindness is another great quality, and we cannot be kind enough. There's always room to grow. We are so deep that there can be so much more kindness, even in how we look at things, even with people who you think are harming you - even they should teach you to be kind. I'm seeing with myself that I can have more and more and more kindness, and I think that's the reason I have come here, that I just cannot see people suffering, especially when I can help. And there's no reason for suffering. So that's out of kindness, really, from the heart.
