Perkins School for the Blind

Weekly classes, Watertown, MA

Robyn teaches weekly classes for students with visual impairment and additional disabilities. Her classes are based on creating poses and opportunities for students to participate based on their unique ability. Classes also foster an environment of discovery and offer students benefits such as balance of the skeletal and muscular systems through a focus on alignment; muscle strengthening and joint flexibility; improved mental focus and concentration; and increased body awareness and orientation and improve motor coordination.

These classes are only for students at Perkins; however, email Robyn if you are interested in organizing classes for students--of any age--with varying physical abilities.

Individual Classes

Individual classes are an excellent way to develop a personal Yoga practice that you can do at home. An individual class includes a consultation to discuss goals, evaluate the student’s specific needs, and develop a strategy for making the practice consistent. Robyn guides students through each series of poses and/or breathing techniques so that they learn to practice safely. Students receive written copies of the instructions, including drawings of Yoga poses, for reference at home.

Individual classes are also effective in conjunction with group Yoga classes. Contact Robyn for details on individual classes.
