I have watched all of your classes. It has become part of my weekly schedule. I have set up a dedicated yoga room in my house. On a positive side I am taking a lot more Yoga classes, which makes me feel better and it makes for a happier wife.
My biggest take away from her is the meditation we do at the beginning and end of class and I use it for everything. I realize that my default setting is fight or flight mode and to recognize that I am in that mode and to calm down and breath thoughtfully has been a godsend and has been profound. I have lost over 115 pounds, which I attribute to the mindfulness, truly.
I have seen significant improvement in my core strength, balance and overall flexibility. Her Guided Imagery at the beginning of class puts you in a relaxed state and ready to focus on the Yoga poses. Debi is a true and caring professional! Her knowledge and understanding of the body and how it works and her Yoga expertise are truly outstanding. I never wanted to do Yoga before and now I wouldn’t think of missing Debi’s classes.
This work we are doing together is Empowering me that I’m not just sitting back and letting things happen to me.
I’m back to dancing! Back to not being afraid.
I LOVE this class! I have really taken your instructions to heart, Debi, and am now doing one-legged teeth brushing; morning foot/ankle/toe/hip wake-up; 12 yoga postures; and holding my phone super-high to keep my back straight!
Debi is passionate and very knowledgeable in her expertise of osteoporosis. She addressed precautions and contraindications, the emphasis for each yoga pose to promote bone growth. Debi is open to questions and I strongly recommend these classes to women with osteoporosis, osteopenia or anyone who wants strong bones. Thank you, Debi!

About Debi Robinson
I am a Certified Yoga Therapist and Health Coach. I love to garden, cook and travel to Scotland, the home of my ancestors, and Bali and India where there is so much peace, beauty and love.
At 51, I had a total hip replacement and understand what it feels like to be handicapped, worried and sad and what it takes to build up strength and balance in our body, bones and mind. This experience inspired me to study with Loren Fishman MD, to learn about bones and joints and how to be safe in my body as I was healing and with those I work with. I became certified to teach Yoga for Osteoporosis with him because his study proves that yoga reverses osteoporosis, he is brilliant, and he loves yoga.
Since 2010, my focus has been on teaching the tools of yoga therapy to counter the functional loss we experience as we age and especially bone density loss in Osteoporosis.
