My heart is overflowing. ❤️
This past week, I had the privilege of working with Reach for South Africa, a nonprofit organization that transforms discarded ship containers into beautiful preschool spaces for children in the African villages outside of Capetown.  After a week of sanding, and painting and painting and sanding more we were able to proudly deliver our finished container to the remote village of Maxixibeni. 

The welcome we received was beyond anything I could have imagined.

The community greeted us with song, dance, and pure joy. But nothing—absolutely nothing—compares to the moment we opened those doors and invited the children inside to play. Their faces lit up with wonder and excitement, their laughter filling every corner of that little school.
This is what hope looks like. This is what community looks like. This is what happens when people come together to create opportunities for the youngest among us.

To witness such gratitude, such celebration, such unbridled joy… I am forever changed.
Thank you to everyone at Reach for the incredible work you do, and to this beautiful village for reminding me what truly matters.

The future just got a little brighter. ✨

As the year settles in, that quiet shift from reflection to intention begins. It’s often the moment when clarity emerges around how we want to show up in our work—and how we share it with others.

Our new Professional Development series, Marketing Made Simple, with Marita Greenidge (IAYT’s Marketing & Communications Manager), offers practical support for approaching marketing with focus and confidence in 2026.

Early bird registration ends Saturday, January 10.

As we step into 2026, I find myself pausing to reflect. The turning of the year invites us into that sacred space between what was and what will be, a threshold where we can honor both our wholeness and our becoming. It’s an opportunity to listen deeply to what wants to emerge from within.

I am reminded again and again that yoga meets us exactly where we are–whether we come to the mat every day or not, whether we feel strong and steady or tender and uncertain. Yoga meets us and helps us reconnect to our deep inner knowing.

Blessings,
Robin

If you love learning alongside other yoga teachers and therapists, consider checking out the Yoga Therapy Book Club. Sponsored by the Women Writers’ Collective in Yoga Therapy, it was created to bring greater visibility to the women authors and leaders shaping our field and to offer a space where we can learn together, exchange ideas, and support the continued growth of yoga therapy. Each month spotlights a different theme, with one or two featured authors sharing insights from their work and lived experience.

✨ Coming up in January:
Join live conversations with Shawnee Thornton Hardy and Rachel Krentzman, exploring yoga therapy for complex needs, healing, and lived experience.

It’s a thoughtful, welcoming space to connect with peers and learn from one another. Curiosity and an interest in shared learning are the only prerequisites.
