Robin is a gentle and nurturing teacher of the Ashtanga method, with a deep respect for the purity of this practice. She passes the teachings on with care and precision, believing that the benefits come from consistent and sustainable effort in the traditional way.

Robin started practicing yoga when she was 18 years old. She has travelled the globe studying various teaching techniques and yogic philosophy with some of the most renowned Ashtanga teachers. She is a dedicated student of R. Sharath Jois, the foremost authority of Ashtanga Yoga today.

Receiving the traditional authorisation from him to teach this method in its purest form has been an incredible blessing, which then allowed Robin the opportunity to assist Sharath Jois over the past 3 seasons, while he taught in the KPJAYI Shala in Mysore, India.

Over the years, Robin has taught in many different places, including Prague, Dubai, Bali, Malaysia, Singapore, The Philippines, Germany and more. She now co-runs the Ashtanga programme at Mysore Yoga Cape Town.

She loves teaching both beginners and experienced practitioners. She assists her students with their individual needs in order to promote physical, emotional and spiritual balance in their contemporary lifestyles. She believes this traditional practice to be a fundamental catalyst for growth, when practiced daily.
