Robin began practicing yoga and meditation in her twenties, when she was seeking a holistic approach to managing her chronic back pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Robin’s early exploration of these ancient practices transformed her view of the possibilities for human health and healing. The desire to serve set her on a lifelong journey of study, practice, and devotion to empower others to grow in both health and wisdom.
