Low Back Health: A Six-Week Online Series with the Soma Institute

A Live Six-Week Online Series via Zoom, October 5 – November 9, 2026 Mondays, 4:00–6:30 PM PST

Low back pain is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — conditions that yoga teachers and movement professionals encounter. This six-week live online series goes beyond generic "low back yoga" to give you a clinically informed, functionally grounded framework for understanding why backs hurt and what actually helps.

Drawing from Robin's Essential Low Back Pain (ELBP) training, each session targets a specific root cause of low back dysfunction, so you leave with practical tools you can apply immediately — whether you're supporting students in class, working one-on-one, or managing your own back health.

Yoga Rehab for the Lower Back, Pelvis, and Hips at Dragonfly West Seattle

Live In Person Sat, Oct 24 · 11am–1:30pm

The lower back, pelvis, and hips are where many of us carry chronic tension — often without realizing how our daily movement patterns contribute to it. In this workshop, Robin will guide students through a deeper exploration of core function and its relationship to the low back, pelvis, and hips, helping identify habitual patterns that may be feeding pain or restriction. If you are local to Seattle, or planning a trip, take the opportunity to learn from Robin live and in person in the beautiful space at Dragonfly.

Breathing Lite and Restoring Prana with Robin Rothenberg


Prana is the animating force that supports and sustains us — akin to the concept of ‘qi’ in Chinese Medicine. Cultivating a rich reservoir of prana is the essential goal of yoga practice and pranayama the primary tool to actualize it. It is the containment of prana that enables our vitality to thrive. This requires us to train ourselves to need less breath — not more.
