Robert is a certified yoga instructor from Yoga to the People (2012). After a year of studying their quick-paced, sweaty “vinyasa” style he began to teach his first classes throughout New York City. Looking for a dose of “spiritual” yoga, he picked up and moved to Sivananda Yoga Ranch in Monticello, NY. There Robert learned the traditional Hindu, hatha-raja style as taught by Swami Vishnudevanada. Robert volunteered in Harlem, at the Urban Yoga Foundation, where he combined elements of the: vinyasa, hatha, and Bikram styles into his classes. Besides working with adults, Robert worked in “kids yoga” at Democracy Prep Charter School, giving instruction to middle school children ages 11-13. He has taught privately to clients at their homes, building their practice according to personal needs. Robert hails from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, a region known for its ethnic and cultural diversity.
