Yoga and Creativity - Spring 2024

Robyn Love is the founder of Atha Yoga School, https://www.athayoga.ca/. She has two decades of personal practice, over a dozen years of teaching and thousands of hours of training. All of that is good and important but it doesn’t really convey her passion for sharing the profound wisdom of Yoga, particularly as it is presented in Patanjali’s Yogasūtra and other foundational texts. Robyn believes that the ongoing study and practice of yoga deeply rooted in abhyasa (daily discipline) and vairagyam (acceptance) honours yoga’s roots in India and takes up its invitation to explore what it means to be alive in a human body. Her teachers are Chase Bossart, Anita Claney, Dolphi Wertenbaker, Elizabeth Cunningham Bossart and Bhooma Madavan. She is a jukai student in the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism. Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei, has been a major influence in her understanding of how creative expression can be rooted in spiritual practice.

In addition to her teaching and training in Yoga, Robyn is a practicing artist with over three decades of exhibitions, projects and commissions presented internationally. Her artwork can be seen at www.robynlove.com.
