ABOUT THIS EVENT
This Gentle Yoga/Sound Healing event is designed to help bring a little peace, and comfort into your life. Robin will guide the first half of the session with a gentle yoga routine set to the crystal singing bowls to encourage relaxation and prepare you for a deeper meditation.
Robin’s sense of curiosity has led her to create a unique style of yoga that is dynamic and personal, allowing each student to explore sensation, and find space and range on their own terms. She invites your own curiosity as you sink into progressive relaxation and meditation through the use of natural breath mechanics, techniques to ease tension in the body and quiet the mind, and through unexpected approaches to traditional poses to allow you to tune in to your individual experience.
During the second half of the class Bryan will immerse you in a musical sound journey with the crystal singing bowls. Bryan’s unique approach to sound healing incorporates his training in classical music to create a beautiful, flowing soundscape. Every session becomes a brand new composition, designed to help you reach deeper, and deeper states of relaxation, and meditation. This music will guide you on a journey where deep healing, and rest occurs. You will leave the class feeling rejuvenated, restored, and peaceful.
We have developed a tiered payment system for this event. For those of you who can afford to pay on the higher end of the scale, your payment helps to support those who cannot. This is one way to leverage our privilege and stand for equity for everyone. If you cannot pay the higher end suggested, consider what is authentically sustainable for you, and pay that. We are excited to see you all at the event!

Robin Sheprad
E-RTY500, RCYT, YACEP, AIReal Yoga™
Academy of Mindful Movement certified, Level 1
Robin enjoys teaching both the young and the young-at-heart.
As a life-long learner, she is fascinated by recent scientific discoveries around fascia and functional movement and their implications for the practice of yoga. This curiosity has fueled exploration and experimentation to create a style of movement that is playful and dynamic, with practical benefit for everyone from absolute beginners to more advanced practitioners. She teaches both on the mat and in the “air”!
Her training and experience run deep. She took her foundational yoga teacher trainings with Suzanne Vian of Yoga Vietnam and her 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training in the FluidUs Method with Carlos Tao. She has taught over _______ hours of yoga over the years. She has assisted with Yoga Teacher Trainings. Additionally, Robin is an experienced, registered Children’s Yoga Teacher and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, with training in Pre-Natal and Post-Natal yoga. Captivated by the modality of aerial yoga, Robin has completed her aerial teacher trainings with Carmen Curtis, founder of AIReal Yoga, in these formats: in AIReal Yoga, AIReal Restore, and Aerial Hammock Dance.
Robin constantly looks for ways to deliver a more personal experience, with respectful irreverence and fun. Whether on the yoga mat or in the aerial hammock, she links functional movement skills, breath mechanics, and novel approaches to traditional poses to increase somatic awareness, mobility, and build an organic mind/body connection.
As a long time practitioner, Robin has personally experienced the difference that regularly practicing yoga can make in a person’s life. She sees yoga as a doorway, progressing from movement into meditation, awareness, understanding, and finally acceptance of ourselves and others. She considers yoga a powerful and essential practice to help navigate our modern world.
Originally a native of the Pacific Northwest, often visiting our islands, Robin spent 13 years traveling, raising her family, and acquiring knowledge and skills in Guangzhou and Shanghai, China, as well as Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. Robin is delighted to call Honolulu home since 2020
Come join her on the mat or in the “air”!!
