Robin Blackwell
Born and raised in New Jersey, Robin is a proud graduate of Charlotte’s premier Historically Black College and University (HBCU), Johnson C Smith and living proof that you’re never too old and it’s never too late. A self professed corporate yogi, she also holds a Master of Business Administration from Queens University, Charlotte.
She took her first yoga class through an employer sponsored program in 2007 and has been practicing yoga ever since. A teacher for more than 8 years now, she's committed to creating welcoming, supportive spaces designed to allow any and every student an opportunity to embrace this practice.
A 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Robin is also a Certified Sound Practitioner, a Peer Support Guide for the Yoga of 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR) and a Certified Laughing Yoga instructor.
Robin leads classes focused on breath, movement and stillness infused with sound, music and silence. She believes that laughter is medicine, love is an action word and joy is a birthright. .
Yoga Sutra 2:16 can be translated as “Future Suffering Can Be Avoided” and Robin became a yoga teacher to broaden access to this concept. Personal experience has shown her that the system of yoga can be a tool for our liberation. As a result, her invitation is this: ""Let’s get Free ya’ll"".
