About our teachers Robin Lange & Nicole Metchick

With nearly 20 years of holistic health and yoga experience, Robin combines a variety of yoga styles, meditation and restorative therapies in a challenging, athletic but non-competitive class that is tailored to meet the needs of the individual to gradually build up strength, confidence, and flexibility without the threat of strain or injury. Combining the traditions of Ashtanga, Hatha Vinyasa & Iyengar, Robin provides a safe environment for beginning students as well as offering variations/ advanced postures for those students seeking more vigorous challenges. By integrating, healing and nourishing the mind, body and spirit, this highly therapeutic yoga program is designed to establish a perfect communication between each part of the body. Trained in Ashtanga/Hatha Vinyasa under Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty, she has studied with some of the world's most renowned yoga masters.

Hatha Yoga/Vinyasa Style

Vinyasa is based on a progressive and fluid series of movements and postures. This yoga style uses breath awareness to help initiate and dictate a fluid sequence of poses – “a conscious evolution connecting each movement with unifying breath.” The postures in Vinyasa serve to enhance organ function, stimulate the circulatory system, aid in digestion/elimination and to increase the body’s natural detoxification process. This class creates a vigorous rhythm in the body to increase flexibility and muscular endurance and to encourage mindful living.
