Welcome Robin Elizabeth Connolly - Yoga Instructor



We are happy to welcome Yoga Instructor Robin Elizabeth Connolly to our team!

Robin Elizabeth leads our Tots Yoga and Family Yoga classes every Saturday. 

Robin Elizabeth grew up in Chelsea Quebec, as a competitive horsebck rider. She was drawn towards a serious yoga practice in 2008, while pursuing her BA in African Studies in Toronto. Robin realized that both yoga and equestrian sport deeply explore the concept of 'union', and Robin's constant curiosity about this broad subject is manifest in her classes. Her aim is to invite students back to their own natural rhythms, bringing attention to breath, blending specific alignment cues with opportunities for free, artistic movement.

Robin is inspired by her travels to Kenya, Nepal, and the Indian Himalayas (where she taught kids' yoga at 4200m altitude!), and by the lessons of everyday life. Robin is passionate about the way yoga can create opportunities for joyful connection between children and their caregivers, and loves teaching the tots and family classes on Saturdays! Robin is grateful for the guidance of her teachers, past and present. Among many are Nicky Poole, Simon Park, Scott Petrie, Matthew Remski, Jesse Enright, Marla Joy, Natasha Currah, Aadil Palkhivala, S.N. Goenka, Josh Cohen, and Thom Knoles. Robin looks forward to seeing you in her class soon!
