BIO on Robin Martin (https://www.instagram.com/robinmartinyoga )
"I have always been a busy person with an active mind. I grew
up participating in sports – I must have tried nearly every
offering in my school. I went on to study editorial journalism in
college, and during those four years, wasn’t as active as I would
have preferred. Post college, I quickly found myself seeking
different styles of workouts to feel good physically. It took a
friend two years of urging me to try a yoga class before I finally
set foot in a studio. After about six months of practicing yoga, I
realized that it had an affect on me that was far greater than
physical. It calmed my mind in a way no other form of physical
movement had before. My stressful job became
manageable.
As life changed – marriage, two kids – my yoga practice
remained consistent. My time on my mat offers me the
stillness I need to balance out all of my other responsibilities
and challenges that life has to offer. Sharing that experience with
my yoga students is a gift.
My practice and my teaching are ever evolving. While vinyasa
yoga is my favorite style of yoga to both practice and teach, I
have studied many different methods of yoga with numerous master
teachers and appreciate the beauty in all styles. I earned my 200
Yoga Alliance certification through Tiffany Cruikshank of Yoga
Medicine. I’m in the process of working towards my 500 hour
certification with YogaMedicine."
