Essential Yoga Therapy

EYT was established by Robin Rothenberg. Robin is a C-IAYT, and expert in Iyengar and Viniyoga.

Essential Yoga Therapy has two distinct missions: one is to offer a means for safe, personal healing to people living with chronic pain or illness through Client Based Yoga Therapy. The other is to help develop highly qualified yoga teachers and subsequently to provide comprehensive training in yoga therapy for teachers who are motivated to go deeper. Essential Yoga Therapy is run by the internationally renowned yoga therapist and author Robin Rothenberg. Robin has been training yoga teachers for the last fifteen years as an RYS 500. The EYT Therapist Training program was the first IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapist Training Program and has been since the creation of the accreditation process in 2014. Robin is also a regular presenter on Yoga U Online and offers workshops, trainings and clinics around the country. For more information on how EYT can help you grow in wisdom, self-awareness, and living a more conscious, joyful life, check out our website: eyt.yoga

Scenes from our Yoga Practice as Refuge retreat in Red Wing, MN 🌿✨

Held at the beautiful Bluewater Yoga Studio, this gathering was a spacious, heart-centered pause—three days of breath, movement, reflection, and connection with our special sangha. Through breath, movement, and stillness, we experienced yoga as a quiet refuge where we could simply be.

Grateful to Carolyn Hedin, a member of our Zoom Club community, for creating such a warm and welcoming space at Bluewater Yoga Studio. 💚

This final retreat on Whidbey Island marked a meaningful close to our Yoga Therapist Training journey. As the culminating experience in our IAYT-accredited program, it offered a space where integration met embodiment.

Held at the serene Aldermarsh retreat center and nourished by Ayurvedic chef Aria Peterman, students stepped fully into the role of yoga therapist—grounded, present, and supported by community.

If you’re feeling drawn to this work, our Foundations of Yoga Therapy training is where it all begins. This 300-hour program is rooted in embodied learning, fascia science, and self-inquiry, and it’s the first step toward becoming a C-IAYT.

✨ Before you move, pause. ✨

When it comes to Sacroiliac (SI) dysfunction, how you transition matters just as much as how you hold a pose.

Standing up from a chair? Take a moment to plant your feet evenly. Gently engage your core—just 10%—to support your sacrum. Notice if you tend to push up unevenly or twist as you rise. Instead, come up slowly, symmetrically, with awareness.

Small habits like this can make all the difference to a not-so-happy sacrum.

In the Resolving Sacroiliac Pain master class, Robin guides you through practical tools and mindful strategies to move with more ease and stability.

The recorded session is available on its own ($65) or as part of the Spring Master Class series ($175).

Awareness creates the foundation for lasting change.

✨ Awareness before action ✨

Holding a pose is powerful, but only when it supports balance and transformation. Without awareness, we simply reinforce the same patterns: tight glutes, a weak core, an unstable sacroiliac joint.

If you or your students experience Sacroiliac (SI) pain, understanding comes first. This recorded 2-hour master class with Robin (available for $65) explores how deeper knowledge of SI joint mechanics and stability-focused yoga can ease discomfort and create lasting change.

You can access this session on its own or as part of the full Spring Master Class series for a more comprehensive approach to teaching and practice.

Awareness is the first step. You have to know your pattern to transform your pattern.

Still feeling nourished by this special Summer Solstice gathering after SYTAR—beautiful practices, incredible Ayurvedic food prepared by my daughter, Chef Ry, and time well spent with friends and colleagues in the garden. It was such a joy to co-host this event together and to welcome the season in community. A perfect way to close out the week. 🌿✨
