Testimonials

I participated in the Anusara Immersion Training Part I taught by Robin Golt on February 15-19, 2012. I consider myself a pretty experienced practitioner of yoga after 15 years of dedicated practice. Still, the course was way beyond expectations for me. Robin is an extraordinary teacher who effortlessly and generously shares her wealth of knowledge in an immensely inspiring yet simple way. I found myself marveling over the added layers of depth that was added to my previous knowledge of Anusara Yoga and of the precise personal directions she gave me so that I know in what direction to work in my personal practice. After this course, I feel even more deeply committed to my yogic path in general and to Anusara Yoga in particular. My gratitude to Robin is beyond words. I can recommend this Immersion Training to any yoga student ready to broaden their understanding of yoga as well as to experienced practitioners looking to fuel their commitment and deepen their practice. ~Marianne Thorborg, E-RYT

One of my primary reasons for enrolling in the Immersion was to deepen my understanding of the Tantric philosophy, which plays such a significant role in the Anusara style of yoga, in the hopes that it would enrich my own spiritual journey. Robin shares her knowledge in a manner that demonstrates not only a deep understanding and respect for this system, but an embodiment of the guiding principles and beliefs. Her keen eye and years of experience really come to the fore during the asana practices and I left with numerous insights about my own practice and how I might continue to refine it. I especially appreciated the way Robin makes space for all the participants to contribute to the learning process; she created opportunities, as well as a safe and collaborative environment, wherein we could share our own knowledge, questions, concerns and experiences. I left wanting more and can’t wait for the next module!! ~C.D, Montreal
