Creating Space Yoga Studio has always been about creating a space where students are able to explore and deepen their yoga practice in a safe and supportive environment. Robyn's vision for her studio was to create a space for students to connect with their bodies, breath, and minds, and to cultivate a sense of community and belonging. The studio has always been more than just a place to practice yoga - it's a space where students can come together to share their experiences, learn from one another, and support each other on their yoga journeys.
Now, with the shift to online classes and practice guides and resources, Creating Space Yoga is able to reach even more students and offer them the tools they need to develop a consistent and sustainable home practice. Whether students are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, they can access a wide range of classes and resources that suit their needs and preferences. With this new approach, Creating Space Yoga is empowering students to take ownership of their yoga practice and cultivate a deeper sense of connection and self-awareness.
Robyn Bowman ~ Creating Space Yoga Studio
Robyn began her exploration of yoga in 1993, long before the current yoga trends had taken off. She has continued to explore a deep yoga and meditation practice and has shared her knowledge with her yoga students for over three decades.
In 2007, Robyn opened Creating Space Yoga Studio in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. It quickly became a thriving community studio for students who appreciated a mindful approach to movement and meditation. The studio fostered a strong sense of community through various events such as the CSY Music Series, the Mindfulness Lecture Series, book clubs, walking groups, charitable events, monthly workshops, offering different movement modalities and more.
After serving her local community for 15 years, Robyn decided to move away from her hometown and seek a simpler life in the country. This personal change served as a catalyst for Creating Space Yoga to expand its reach and serve a wider community.
Over the years, Robyn observed a common challenge among her students - a dependency on local yoga studios to determine how often they can practice. This reliance on certain classes, open yoga studios, weather and travel at times, could hinder their daily practice. To address this issue and support her students, Creating Space Yoga has now shifted to supporting her students' home practices. Robyn hopes to guide each student in building a thriving home practice. While attending local yoga studios can be a fulfilling practice and a source of inspiration, it shouldn't be the only way a student can practice with confidence.
