I started my yoga practice at the age of 16 years old at the advice of a healing mentor who encouraged me to develop a more compassionate and accepting relationship with my body and my mind. My foundation in yoga was for healing and empowerment and it led me on a journey of discovery, self-care, and self-actualization that has been a non-negotiable way of life ever since.
With nearly two decades of teaching and being considered a teacher’s teacher, Robin has a unique, multi-faceted, and integrative approach to yoga. Her keen attention to anatomy, alignment, and energetics creates a safe and exploratory space for all bodies. Her vast knowledge of the mind-body connection, philosophy, and contemplative practices add a special depth to her teachings. Her practice is informed by many teachers, many paths; Iyengar, Ashtanga, Anusara, Restorative, Bioenergetics, Quigon, and her advanced 500hr certifications are in Tantra lineage.
Robin has co-facilitated 200hr YTT’s and offers continuing education in Restorative Yoga and Trauma-Informed Yoga. She has been featured in the book, Yoga Wisdom. Robin is always a student first and has an unshakable commitment to life-long practice.
“To me, this is a sacred space that I share cautiously. Robin is one of my most trusted guides throughout my practice. She is an essential element of my yoga practice. Not only is she nurturing, but creative, intuitive, and intentional. I am always amazed at her capacity to meet my needs, to help me soothe my physical aches, and also my mental and emotional needs. Robin is a beautiful woman in every way who doesn’t take herself too seriously but rather encourages the pursuit of living a blissful life at a higher level. She is a gift to all who know her. She is Yoga.”

“What Robin does is transformative, and her style is a blend of its own. Many teachers can teach us the poses and the alignments, but there is something special that Robin brings, from the inside, it is clear that she has a value for the inner experience of yoga. Robin cares genuinely about your connection to yourself. She has no end to this readiness to serve those she teaches; whether it be through the imparting of her wisdom, the sharing of her expertise in leading the movements, bringing out props or blankets for those she sees who need assistance, gentle hands-on guidance or correction, or the natural peaceful energy she imparts through her presence alone. Robin’s impact is a powerful one – through the subtle use of grace.” ASU
