Robin received her 200-hour yoga teacher certification from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in 2019. As a member of the SUNY Potsdam Department of Theatre and Dance faculty, she taught yoga for 5 semesters. She has continued her yoga education through 75-hour trainings at Kripalu—(a) Teaching Pranayama: Essential Practices for Yoga Teachers, (b) Guiding Meditation for Transformational Yoga Teaching: Exploring the World Within and Teaching Kripalu Vinyasa: Breathe, Feel, Flow; she also received, at Kripalu, a Lakshmi Voelker 25-hour Chair Yoga Certification.
Of great influence on Robin’s interest in yoga is her life-long study and teaching of dance. She has BS and MS degrees in dance from the University of Oregon and a PhD in Dance from Texas Woman’s University. Most recently, she taught in the Dance Program at SUNY Potsdam for 27 years—1998-2025. Along with yoga courses, she taught ballet, modern dance, dance history, Pilates, dance pedagogy, choreography, Laban Movement Analysis, and improvisation. Robin brings her knowledge and experiences from the dance world to her yoga teaching, consistently researching ways to make yoga available to everyone.
