Growing up outdoors in Southern California made Robert an avid athlete/outdoors man since childhood. Robert was surfing by five; spent family vacations hiking, fishing and biking, was a star player on his school age baseball, tennis & soccer teams, and took up basketball and golf in early adulthood. Robert was certified as a personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2002, where he began helping clients improve their athletic performance through strength training and functional fitness techniques. He discovered yoga around this time and was amazed at how yoga helped him improve his own game and stay in the "zone", helped with concentration, and his breath capacity. Robert has always enjoyed the playfulness of yoga- handstands at the beach are his favorite!
In 2008 Robert was certified by Swami Sitaramananda at the Sivananda Vendanta Centre in the "Yoga for Athletic Peak Performance" Program. Robert has continued his Hatha Yoga studies to complete the 200 RYT certification with Kira Ryder, founder of Lulubandhas and the Ojai Yoga Crib in his hometown of Ojai, California. Robert also trained and certified with Karma Kids NYC and works in the MV Public Schools bringing yoga to school children. He is the founder BROga Yoga and Strength for Men.
Robert has been married for 15 years to his wife Sherry, and has a 7 year old son Miles. While not easy all the time, he is grateful to have two people in his life who love him unconditionally and who constantly give him opportunity to study himself and evolve.
