Robbie is an incredible instructor that meets your body's individual needs. I had a back injury and had him come to my home for a few months until I was able to drive again. He is incredibly intuitive and he follows you through out the sessions.I'm on my 8th year with Robbie.I am so grateful for him.Blessings,Stacey D.

I have been attending richmond city yoga for almost half a year and it has been an incredible experience. Robbie is a welcoming experienced teacher who cares about teaching you the practice and meeting you where you are at. There is a small community of regular yoga practitioners who are all very kind, warm and inviting. Both the 6:00 am Mysore and 9:30 am guided practice are excellent for both beginners like myself and individuals who have been practicing for years. I recommend this studio for anyone looking to get into a routine that will improve all aspects of health.

I wandered into RCY while in town visiting my parents, and it was definitely the most enjoyable and nourishing part of my RVA trip! I've been practicing ashtanga for a little over 5 years and traveling full-time since 2022 so I drop into a lot of ashtanga studios all over the world. I've learned that the attitudes of the other students/practitioners are often an accurate reflection of the shala itself. The community Robbie has fostered is incredibly warm and welcoming, and shares a common passion for the practice. Robbie's expert assists felt amazing after my many weeks of solo practice, and I especially appreciated his open communication and questions about past injuries and my preferences when being assisted. That is not something you find in every ashtanga teacher. Robbie is very knowledgeable yet humble and holds a supportive space for people to grow in their practice. While not a beginner myself, I'm confident Robbie would make an excellent and trustworthy teacher for anyone reading this who may be new to ashtanga yoga. I also had the pleasure of attending Friday led primary which was a real treat. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in town!

i’ve been going for a few classes and i love it!! i wake up feeling lethargic, leave class feeling rejuvenated. the instructor, Robbie, is very patient, kind, and uses a hands on approach to help critique your yoga. the classes are worth the investment, i can’t wait to continue to go to class as it’s the highlight of my day each time i visit.

Literally the best move I've ever made! ... core strength, flexibility, circulation, muscle tone, and sense of peace/fulfillment miraculously improve with each class - I can't get enough!

I have been going to Robbie’s studio for about a month now and it has been so transformative for me. I have never felt better physically or mentally. He is so encouraging and I didn’t feel like a lost beginner walking into the studio. It is a welcoming and positive environment were you are encouraged to start wherever you are and grow from there. I would recommend Robbie and Richmond City Yoga to anyone who is even slightly interested in yoga, I was hooked the first day.

RCY is a wonderful place where you can learn to develop a self practice of the ancient form of the Ashtanga practice. Robbie is an excellent teacher who will help you develop your own practice, at your own pace. You don’t need to feel a 100% of yourself each time you turn up. Robbie always provides modifications for every age, condition, Injury or energy level. The vibe of the studio and the whole RCY family bring joy and positivity to each day. I have never regretted walking into that door for a practice.?.

I had an amazing experience at this studio and I can't wait to go again! I've even started practicing what I learned at home so that I can learn more from Robbie during my next visit.

I was referred to Ashtanga by several other local teachers as a way of strengthening my practice. I started attending RCY with a monthly membership in May. Robbie gently guides you through each sequence, making appropriate adjustments to each student as needed. I am in my mid-fifties and am amazed at my progress in 6 months! It is well-worth the time and the drive in to town. All levels/ages will benefit from this moving meditation.
