Yoga became my own personal time for emotional and physical well-being. I found that through Yoga my body and spirit were transformed helping me to become more dedicated to living my life fully and in the present. I discovered Yoga several years ago. My teaching style is Vinyasa Flow which I mix with the loving, heart based practice of Anusara Yoga, and the strength based practice of Ashtanga Yoga. My classes tend to be upbeat but serious, fun yet challenging. My goal is to touch everyone with the freedom, fun, power and sweetness of Yoga.” |

Robin Grover is our kid’s yoga instructor and a pre-school teacher for District 200. A student of the Yoga Lounge. My passion for yoga has developed out of a desire to experience every type of activity I can. I worked in the fitness industry at Health Bridge Fitness Center for 11 years and before that taught aerobics at a local club. I need an outlet for my mental and physical well being. I have enjoyed swimming, running, biking, boxing, skiing, weight training and yoga over the years. I felt that I needed the activities like running and weight training to give me the desired effect on my physical body. After many years of pushing my body to its limits it began to push back. I began experiencing body aches and pains that made me seek out doctors and physical therapists. Yoga has given me the total package. It pushes me physically and mentally and I am in the best shape of my life. This has been achieved with a dedication to my yoga practice. I love teaching Kids Yoga. The students are fearless and challenge themselves with all that I give them to try. They love the deep relaxation at the end of the class the most. The need for us all to slow down and breathe is priceless at any age. Kathy Clark is Yoga Alliance certified through Shoshoni Yoga Retreat and the American Fitness Professionals Association. She has practiced at The Yoga Lounge for nearly 5 years and attended Mount Madonna Yoga Center in California. Kathy is currently taking some time off from The Yoga Lounge to complete her bachelor’s degree in nutrition at NIU. |
