    Breathe ~ Heal ~ Inspire

  • Classes

    Vinyasa-based Practice

    The Shiva and the Shakti, the male and female, the left and the right, country vs. rock n’ roll; it’s all there, and it’s about balance. Yoga provides a way into this understanding. Through a Vinyasa-based practice (breath with movement) and a detailed look at alignment, we shift and shape our bodies according to our own personal needs. The wonderful thing about Yoga is that it meets you wherever you are. Whether you’re working with an injury, looking to relax, or want to get or stay in shape, Robin’s class aims to strengthen the outer body, soften the inner body, and clear the mind. Not only filled with purpose and intention, Robin’s classes are always meant to be fun. With a playlist that could include anyone from Ravi Shankar to Ozzy Osbourne, you leave remembering to breathe, heal, and inspire.

  • Private Sessions

    Group classes are great way to connect and extend one’s community. However, a lot of information can get overlooked along the way. Having a one on one, direct student/teacher experience allows for more growth at an advanced pace, individualizing the class to meet one’s own specific needs.

    In addition, there are still many people who have not experienced Yoga but hear all about it and are curious. Beginning with private sessions lays a strong foundation for an exciting and beneficial practice.

    “Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe.”

    ~ Winston Churchill

    “Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

    ~ Rumi

    I love the story of the little girl who showed her teacher a picture she painted of a tree. The tree was purple. The teacher said, “Sweetheart, I’ve never seen a purple tree, now have I?”

    “Oh?” said the little girl. “That’s too bad.”

    ~ Marianne Williamson

    Robin Duryea

    Robin walked into her first Yoga class in 1999. However, it was a three month solo journey through India in 2005 that brought Robin to her knees. Ever since, she has had a steady and deep practice working with some of the most renowned teachers in San Francisco.

    Suffering several traumas as a child, she knows first hand Yoga can save a life. Sharing that possibility is what she craves.

    Robin’s life journey though has also been very, very blessed. A lifetime worth of travel, music, and art, including a degree in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute, infuse Robin and her classes with openness, challenges, and fun.

    Having completed training certification, including over 600 hours of Vinyasa (breath with movement), Pranayama (breath control), and Restorative (balancing out the nervous system) Robin’s understanding of Yoga has taken her to a place she continues to love, explore and share.

    In seeing the possibilities of the body we can see the possibilities that lie beyond.
