Yoga Offerings
All Songbird Yoga classes are slow an thoughtful with a focus on gentle movement and breathing. You will be encouraged to check in with your body and mind, and to take note of how you’re feeling as you move through the practice. Songbird Yoga classes are not exercise classes. You may build physical strength, balance and endurance over time, but Songbird Yoga classes prioritize restfulness, ease and softening – qualities that build mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. Learn more and sign up for weekly group classes at Robin’s Patreon page. Each class is made up of three strands of practice: While every class is different, you can expect to move most parts of your body at least a little bit. As you move, you will be prompted and encouraged to notice how the movements feel in your body and mind, or how they affect your breathing. All movements are done within your range of motion. In other words there is very little stretching. Movements are usually co-ordinated with the movement of the breath. Most floor-based classes will inclue movements and postures sitting and lying down on the floor, usually with the support of pillows, cushion, or folded blankets. Yoga nidra is a practice of receiving rather than doing. The yoga nidra approach Robin offers is soft and nondemanding, and surprisingly simple. All that is required is a stable place to sit or lie down, some pillows, folded towels, or blankets to support your body, and a blanket for warmth or comfort. The practice itself is a narrated journey into and through the body. All you are asked to do is to observe, and be present with the experience of observing. Rest is essential to our well-being.

Yoga Consultation
Using her training as a yoga teacher, her nearly two decades of yoga practice, and her deep knowledge (gained through both study and experience) of what it is like to move through a world that was not built with disabled and chronically ill people in mind, Robin will teach you about what yoga is, and help you figure out how to find yoga practices and teachers that will meet and support you where you are.
