The Yoga Institute of Miami

"Bobbi Goldin and staff have been sharing the benefits of yoga since yoga became mainstream. They teach with intelligence, precision, and joy. This is a sanctuary of real yoga with classes geared to all levels. If you are interested in cultivating a meaningful yoga practice, this is the place to go. They also offer high quality workshops, and have a mini boutique with one of a kind treasures. But the real treasure is this authentic space and community."

"Every yoga studio has at least one student that is known to every teacher and the other practitioners because his or her name is called out by the teachers in their effort to assist the poor student to become better at yoga. I can proudly say I am that student at the Yoga Institute of Miami. When I first started attending classes approximately five years ago, I had the joy of hearing each teacher compassionately say I scared them. Through the patient guidance of the Yoga Institute’s outstanding teachers, most notably Bobbi Goldin, my yoga has steadily improved and I look forward to each class knowing that I am helping my body deal with the stresses of life. The proof of my improvement was revealed in the past year when my travels allowed me to attend yoga classes at other studios and I could follow the poses without a single teacher asking me my name."

"I remember being told by Bobbi years ago that, as we age, we need to be more specific and careful about how we place our body in the universe. I have taken this message to heart, in both my yoga practice and my life. The attention to detail and care for the individual student that the instructors at Yoga Institute of Miami dedicate to each student have made me stronger, more flexible, better balanced, and able to breath easier in the chaos of life. Each teacher brings something different to the practice. The beginner series is an essential starting place for every yoga beginner, in my opinion. The welcoming atmosphere at the studio, great assortment of retail yoga clothing, and superb quality of instruction make this the only place I will practice yoga in Miami."

"Back in 2005, my wife and I decided to try Iyengar yoga with Bobbi Goldin at the Yoga Institute of Miami. As a beginner who runs, bikes and plays tennis regularly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the yoga practice, in large part because of the positive spirits and camaraderie of the students and instructors. Through the years, my yoga practice has helped improve my posture, flexibility, stamina and breathing, to name just a few of the benefits. Bobbi is a great instructor who has given me many valuable pointers through the years. She is very responsive to the needs of each student, and every class is different, making the practice more enjoyable. If you're considering yoga to improve your health and fitness, you'll be in good hands with Bobbi Goldin!"

"I came to Bobbi's studio in 2008. And I've never left! Having done yoga prior to that, I had some idea of my flexibility but I had no body awareness as to proper form, balance and alignment. She and the other instructors take time to listen to me and ensure that I am reaping the most from the pose, even if it's a modified one. If you haven't, try a class with each of the instructors so you can learn something different from each of them! It's a great studio, the students who go are a community, and the overall feeling is welcome."
