Robin R Roberts

RYT200

Robin has studied Bikram Yoga, a form of Hatha Yoga, for nearly 20 years. He has a 200-hour certification and has taken classes in over 25 studios around the country, in Canada, Spain and the Netherlands.

He is a retired banker, spending the last 45 years in Minneapolis, and has moved to his boyhood home in La Crosse. Since returning to La Crosse, he has been elected to the Board of Directors of the People’s Food Coop and helps small business owners around the country with their financial and tax planning needs.

By being one of the least flexible (physically) yoga instructors in the world, he can appreciate your situation and can suggest alternatives to achieve your yoga goals. He has found that no matter how flexible or inflexible you are, yoga helps heal your body, mind and soul.
