Rhubin Herceg

Rhubin is an experienced yoga teacher, movement educator, and holistic practitioner with over 15 years of teaching experience, more than 1,000 hours of professional certifications, and over a decade of leadership as the founder and CEO of a wellness studio in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Her work is rooted in a deep respect for the body as an intelligent, creative system. On the mat, she weaves together precise, thoughtful sequencing with an intuitive and artistic approach—guiding students toward greater presence, clarity, and connection with their inner resources. This creative sensibility extends beyond movement into her background in illustration, photography, fashion, and visual arts, shaping the way she designs classes, spaces, and holistic experiences. At the core of Rhubin’s work is a deep belief in the body’s innate capacity for healing, creativity, and self-regulation. Her teaching is shaped by years of personal practice, study, and lived experience—both on and off the mat. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, she creates environments where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to reconnect with their own inner guidance. In her classes and retreats, Rhubin cultivates a grounded, attentive atmosphere where students are invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels both safe and empowering. Students often describe her work as intelligent, calming, and quietly transformative—leaving them feeling more present, clear, and at home in their bodies. Studio Founder & CEO In 2015, Rhubin co-founded We DU Yoga, one of the first dedicated yoga studios in Dubrovnik. Over the following decade, the studio grew into a stable and trusted community space for movement and wellbeing. In 2025, the studio evolved into Zen & Zest—a holistic wellness center reflecting Rhubin’s expanded vision of integrative health. Today, Zen & Zest offers a broad range of practices, including yoga and Pilates, therapeutic movement, children’s programs, sound healing, holistic treatments, and hypnotherapy. Her leadership is defined by ethical practice, long-term sustainability, and a strong commitment to community-centered wellbeing. Sound Healing & Holistic Modalities In 2019, Rhubin founded Sense, Dubrovnik's only studio dedicated to sound massage, sound baths, and sound healing. She is the first—and currently the only—Certified Peter Hess® Sound Massage Practitioner in Dubrovnik, trained through the Peter Hess® Institute in Zagreb. Her sound work focuses on supporting deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance through the therapeutic use of sound and vibration. In addition to sound healing, Rhubin has completed training in a range of holistic and energetic modalities, allowing her to integrate movement, therapeutic work, and energetic approaches into a comprehensive, individualized path to wellbeing.
