Robyn Adler
Robyn started practicing yoga in New Zealand in 1988 after being introduced to Iyengar Yoga by a fellow South African she had met while sailing the South Pacific. She was immediately hooked as it was a way into my body in a non-competitive and yet dynamic form of body movement. Robyn remembers, “As I created space in my body, working within my own capacity, my strength and flexibility began to increase and my state of mind became more balanced. I began to understand the breadth of the practice that is Yoga.”
Robyn came to Sydney in 1992 and started teacher training apprenticeship with Peter Thomson. After over two decades of practice and teaching she is now a Certified Junior Intermediate Level lll Iyengar Yoga Teacher.
Robyn travels to Pune, India, regularly to study with the Iyengar Family and has attended all the conventions in Australia when B.K.S. Iyengar or, his daughter, Geetaji have visited to teach.
In 2015 Robyn completed a three year Course with Stephanie Quirk in Therapeutic Yoga that informs both her remedial work and general classes.
As well as teaching general classes Robyn has been teaching yoga to people with MS for the last three years. She also teaches private classes for people with chronic conditions who are looking for remedial attention and she finds this work reinforces the foundational principles of Iyengar Yoga and affirms that this practice is available to everyone regardless of ability or age.
Finally, Robyn is also a practising Shiatsu Therapist and Counsellor. She states, “ I find these modalities complementary to my yoga teaching and practice as the body and mind are interrelated and influence and affect each other. “
