About Robyn

Yoga is my passion

I am a passionate student of yoga and I enjoy sharing my passion with others.

I have been learning and practicing Iyengar yoga for over 20 years. I have been teaching yoga in the Iyengar method for 9 years. Influenced by many of the senior teachers in this country, I am grateful and deeply indebted to each one of them for the knowledge, inspiration and compassion they have taught me.

Currently, I study weekly with John Schumacher and I have just completed a two-year teacher training program with Patricia Walden and Peentz Dubble.

I firmly believe that one must be constantly studying and learning to better understand and integrate the power of yoga and its teachings into ones body, mind and life.

I am an eternal optimist and believe that every body has the aptitude to benefit from the practice of yoga. Through my optimism and passion I want to stimulate and inspire the students. And create enthusiasm in each student for yoga and its potential on their body, mind and life.

When not engrossed in yoga I enjoy cooking, traveling and spending time with family and friends. I am a huge Bruce Springsteen fan.

So what do the students really think?

Over the years I have enrolled in two different Yoga classes but they just were not for me. Since enrolling in Robyn's class over three years ago I have rarely missed a class even though it is hard work. Robyn individualizes her approach to each student considering preexisting conditions, strengths and weaknesses and monitors our response at the beginning and end of each session. We are guided through incremental stages in order to accomplish a particular pose. Poses may be modified and props provided when necessary. Each session begins and ends with a brief period of relaxation. It is true that anyone of any age or infirmity can benefit from Yoga with Robyn."

Robyn has been our Yoga teacher for more than four years. Yoga is a very personal experience and our choice is to take lessons in our home where we practice as well. As an instructor, Robyn teaches with great clarity and sensitivity. She reads us so well and tailors her lessons accordingly. Robyn is always well prepared and we look forward to our weekly sessions. It has become a part of our life."

I have been taking classes with Robyn since she first started teaching. Her attention to the details of alignment and safety of her students are unparalleled. I always leave class feeling better than when I went, even on days when I didn't feel like going."

Robyn teaches the best yoga classes I had in my seven years or so of yoga. Yoga teaching is an art and it takes a long period of study, developing extensive experience with students, and also a putting a lot of dedication into it. Robyn has it all in the superlative.

I am particularly impressed by the soul (I would even say Soul) she puts into her teaching. After the class you feel clearly that you have been directly helped to become stronger and better. All in all, I feel very fortunate to have met Robyn and to have her as a teacher.

As for what yoga you can do for you, the answer it's easy: physical miracles (and with time also of another kind). I was crippled by chronic back pains and I have also an injured knee. All this is now gone or livable with. So thank you so much Robyn!"

Taking a yoga class with Robyn makes me feel good for the whole day! We achieve more than we think we can because of her understanding of our bodies. We walk away refreshed, stretched and looking forward to the next class!"

Simply put, Robyn is a wonderful yoga instructor. Her knowledge of Iyengar yoga, combined with her skill in recognizing and supporting students with a variety of flexibility and skills makes her classes both challenging and rewarding. I always feel more at peace with myself when I leave a class than when I came in. There is a fine line between encouraging people to stretch to their limits and pushing them too far and Robyn excels at recognizing where that line should be drawn. I have watched many people, myself included, find strength and flexibility that they didn't know they had and also develop a greatly increased awareness of how their bodies move and function. I recommend her highly."

Robyn has been my yoga instructor for the past ten years. Even after all this time, she continues to keep class fun and filled with new things to learn. Her joy at teaching yoga to students of all abilities radiate throughout each and everyone of her classes."
