4 years with Robin going strong with classes and private sessions.
I’d only done yoga twice prior to doing yoga with Robin and found it slow and boring. But then I went with a friend to Robin’s class and I really liked it. I liked her and liked stretching. I kept going to class twice a week for the rest of the year listening to her and doing what I saw others doing. One day, I ran into Robin outside of class, and she suggested doing some private yoga for a few weeks so she could show me how to get into the right positions. So I did. And, wow! I learned that I had greatly underestimated yoga - what it is and what it can do for my body.
3 years later, I’m still doing private sessions and classes. I’ve learned that yoga is just as much about strength as it is stretch and it’s made me so much stronger. I’m hooked.
I recommend yoga classes with Robin. In class, there’s good music, good vibes and we use props – blocks, knee pads and straps. The class is great for beginners and for those more experienced who want to add to it. Robin is passionate, kind, motivating and she creates a “just try it” atmosphere where it’s okay to fall when trying to balance. It’s okay to not be elegant getting out of a pose. It’s a safe space to learn and do yoga, one class at a time. There’s women and men of all ages.
I also highly recommend doing private sessions with Robin. She tailors the one hour session to what’s going on with me that day or week. She teaches me new poses and encourages me to push myself, to balance, to integrate and have fun. We end every session with a shavasana, an eye pillow, some aromatherapy, and Robin playing her sound bowls!

Robin is amazing! Her classes always flow so well, and she takes the time to really show and explain the poses if you’re newer, while still keeping things moving if you’ve been practicing for a while. I always walk out feeling restored and lighter. The space itself is so peaceful and welcoming, which just makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend giving her class a try!

Robin is great! She is very patient and adjusts based on your personal.level. She often shares things from her own life before/during the class which instantly makes it feel.more like doing yoga with a friend. Her choice of music during the class is great. I have gained a lot of flexibility because of her classes. I hadn't done yoga in the past, but she made it very easy to learn and grow. The space is gorgeous too and adds to the peaceful atmosphere Robin creates.

If the final days of 2024 are comprising your balance, check in with Robyn next year. Don't worry if you can't tell your left from your right, she'll help you figure out. Also jazz, stain glass, and beautiful floors. It's a breathtaking location one must experience.

Robin's classes are amazing, and one-on-one sessions with her fantastic. Robin really goes above and beyond to meet you where you are, to tailor a session to your needs and energy level. Her knowledge about the body, paired with her creative approach and why-not? spirit, make for a unique, restorative experience. Robin is simply a superlative teacher. I always leave a session with her feeling stronger, lighter, and just a bit calmer. She is the bomb/balm!

I googled “ yoga for old guys” but didn’t find what I wanted so I tried HL . Now I’m in a class with mostly women who are mostly Much more flexible. Robyn’s class effortlessly makes sure the class meets the needs of everyone from me to the young lady next to me standing on her head. 😊
This class is good.

My yoga journey with Robin
~fun, but serious
~completing a flow that seemed impossible six months ago
~special attention to my aches and pains
~yoga for my finger, yoga for my toes, yoga for my mind
I consider my private lessons with Robin one of the best investments for my health. Her knowledge, creativity, nurturing spirit and encouragement are Priceless.
She listens to you, learns your body. Every class with her is exceptional.

Robin's yoga class with Higher Love Yoga is AMAZING! She works with everyone throughout the class to help with positions and each client's practice, as needed. All levels welcome. Every time is different so that makes it a little exciting to see what's to come. The space in the chapel is incredible, especially with all the candles and dim lighting that she adds, as well as her great background music. If you haven't yet, you need to try Robin with Higher Love Yoga!

Robin is a gifted sage of a yoga teacher. Gentle and strong, funny, humble and attuned, her guidance is divine. I've been attending her classes for nearly 2 decades and have practiced with gobs of (amazing) teachers. She's tip-top. Plus, it's yoga in a historic chapel - gorgeous!

This is the best Yoga in Atlanta. After an extensive search for a peaceful yoga studio that focuses on teaching yoga while maintaining yoga philosophy I am so excited to have found Robin. Robin is an amazing teacher who is open and kind and excited to teach everyone, from the hesitant beginners to the experienced practitioners. She fosters a warm and welcoming environment in the most gorgeous yoga studio I’ve ever practiced in (a re-purposed old wooden chapel). Her classes are approachable, yet as challenging as you want them to be. It is a hidden gem of yoga in the southeast, and a memorable experience for anyone who loves yoga or is looking to learn more.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful it is to practice with Robin! You will leave the studio floating.

After about two months of attending Robin's yoga classes, I can say they are absolutely wonderful! People with all levels of experience can attend and Robin gives positive encouragement to newcomers. There's modifications to make the poses easier for beginners or challenging for experienced yogis. When the class size is small, we work on "wall poses" (i.e. inversions) in a fun, personal setting. The location also can't be beat, being in the center of Decatur and in a beautiful chapel [note that these classes are completely inclusive :) ]. The golden-hour light that shines through stained glass windows reminds me to appreciate the time and be in the moment. Thanks Robin!

I took the Sunday 4:30 class last week!! The chapel is a magical space. Robin does a beautiful job of offering suggestions to meet the individual needs of each person. The pacing was perfect for me. I had not been on my mat recently and using props helped me move easily without stretching too much. Her jazz music transported me to a space of deep relaxation. I loved the class and look forward to many more Sundays with Robin.

Robin Doyon exhibits the higher aspect of yoga and movement in the body, respecting all levels and challenging postures that will increase your strength and flexibility. The musical accompaniment will transcend you back into a retro revolution, and completing your experience, both mentally and physically.
I highly recommend. In love and light, Melissa.🦋❤️☮️☯️

Robyn is a delight!!!! I am forever grateful for my friend for bringing me to this class. The way she makes every person feel nurtured and supported is truly one of a kind. After every class I feel lighter and restored. Excellent playlists and even better setting in an empty church with stained glass. Thank you Robyn!

One of Atlanta's best kept secrets! Robin's Yoga class is hands down one of the best practices I have been able to join in quite sometime.
She does a dynamic job of creating a welcome environment for who come and provides an atmosphere to really lean into your practice during the juicy 1hour + class. If you can ever beat traffic and make your way over to Decatur - check it out.

Robin's class was the first in-person yoga class I attended since the pandemic started, and it has become my weekly ritual to practice with her on Wednesday and Sunday nights (she also offers a Friday at Noon class). The space is AMAZING! I would describe it as a serene and soothing sanctuary space. The best space I've ever had a yoga class. I love it!
You enter through two beautiful arched dark wood doors. Inside you will see ancient amber stained glass windows on both sides that fill the room with a warm glow, and dark wood floors, walls, and beams throughout. Robin places electric tea lights around the room, which makes it even more tranquil and calm. You can spread out and have plenty of space around you and your mat. Then, Robin's choice of music immediately relaxes. The way Robin guides you through each pose is easy to follow, even for first-timers, and she will provide extra support and modifications for beginners and for those who want more of a challenge. Once a month on Sunday she treats the class to a crystal singing bowl healing session during the last 15 minutes of class. I love that her class is for 75 minutes. There’s plenty of time to work the entire body and not feel rushed. She is a caring and expert teacher who works from her heart and a place of acceptance of all levels of practice and body types. I highly recommend Robin's class. She also offers private yoga sessions at her home or your home.
