Meet Robin Doyon

Hi there! I’m Robin Doyon (pronounced DOY-yun) and yoga is my vessel to freedom in body and emotional well-being in mind. I’m not saying it’s kittens and rainbows all the time, but I’m proof that a practice works in many aspects of your life — if you show up — and I’m here to facilitate this when you do.

I’ve been very fortunate to have practiced with and studied under many gifted and informed teachers from many lineages, styles, and expressions of yoga and my teaching reflects this variety with my own sense of creativity and unique take on life. 

My classes are a combination of Pranayama (breathwork with a focus on staying connected to the experience, strengthening your breath like a muscle) with a Yang approach (flowing from one pose into the other, feeling the physical aspects and building strength in poses while keeping you injury-free) and Yin (the stillness of the body, the mind, feeling the emotional aspects with an invitation for self reflection, introspection while increasing flexibility with deep stretching).

Should you attend my Higher Love Yoga classes, you’ll be practicing with a great community in the most magical, uplifting, and moving space of any yoga studio around town and, regardless of your level, I can meet you where you are and will do so with nourishment, acceptance, radical non-judgment, humor, and encouragement to have a sense of curiosity about yourself and your practice.

I’ve been teaching in Decatur 12+ years now. I’ve got a lot of experience teaching many a studio class, one-on-one sessions, and special events around town. My family jokes that when we are anywhere out we will always run into someone I’ve taught, even when we travel to another state and I absolutely love that! My certifications are varied, I love all styles of Yoga and its disciplines, including Anusara-inspired Vinyasa; Yin; Spiritual Teachings of Yoga and Pranayama through the Pranakriya School of Yogic Healing Arts; Trauma-informed Yoga; Bikram; and Yoga for Kids & Teens. 

When I’m not teaching my Higher Love Yoga classes, I’m also teaching one-on-one yoga sessions, or practicing yoga, or making art, or thrifting, or hiking, or spending time loving on and laughing with my incredibly witty daughter, or winding down at the end of the day sitting outdoors somewhere on an in-town neighborhood patio with my super cute and smart and awesome husband.
