Every day, millions of students enjoy group stretch classes as the first step on the Yoga Path. Last year, over 140,000 students were certified to teach Yoga in America, bringing the number of certified instructors up to 650,000.

However, in most 200 hour trainings, Yoga Teachers only study THE YOGA SUTRAS, Yoga’s Foundation text, for 12 HOURS OR LESS.

If you’re a serious student wanting to learn about The Complete System of Yoga or a Teacher wishing to distinguish yourself from the thousands of well-intentioned but poorly-educated Teachers and Therapists, there’s a simple solution…….. STUDY THE SUTRAS.

The Yoga Sutras

Universally regarded as the single most important text on Yoga, Patanjali’s Sutras reveal the entire range of Yoga’s profound methods, procedures and protocols which, when followed, transform the practitioner and provide the clarity essential for living a rich life filled with satisfying relationships.

In studying the Sutras, we learn that Yoga is a complete system of spiritual Psychology with a pharmacopeia of techniques for experiencing the true nature of the mind, consciousness and reality.

Whether you’re new to Yoga or have previously studied the Sutras, their deeply reflective nature and multiple levels of interpretation offer fresh insights and more practical applications with each revisiting.

The Teacher

A student of the Yoga Sutras for over four decades, I have been blessed with the opportunity to study with teachers in the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, including the late T.K.V. Desikachar and his family.

For thirty years, I have been training Yoga Teachers and Therapists at studios around the world, including Loyola Marymount University and Be the Change, in the USA and Adore Yoga Therapist Training in Sydney.

As a Certified Positive Psychology Coach, I regularly apply the principles the Sutras in my practice with couples and individuals.

The Options

You can study the Sutras Privately with Robert or participate in our Ongoing Yoga Sutras Study Salons. For more information or for help figuring out what’s best for you, feel free to contact me anytime. Find out everything your Teachers never taught you…because they never learned it themselves.
