Learn how to live with calm, clarity, and purpose through the practices of Yin Yoga and Meditation.

My name is Rob Phillips. Since 2010, I’ve led more than 7,000 yoga and meditation practices and touched the lives of thousands of students.

I’ve dedicated almost 20 years to practice, study, and teaching, and gone through my own journey of self-healing.

I am eager to share all that I’ve learned with you so that you can unlock the best version of yourself.

“I've been teaching meditation and mindfulness for a long, long time. But I have become more and more aware over time just how important the body is for our well-being. So I’m super-pleased to see Rob out here bringing the two together, the practice for the mind, the practice for the body.

And of course, as we know, if we know anything at all about yoga, these two have gone together for thousands and thousands of years in some beautiful, beautiful ways. Rob has your back. He is well studied. He is well practiced. He's been teaching hundreds and hundreds of people for many, many years.

Terry Cockburn, E-RYT 500

“The very best teachers are the ones who spend their lives dedicated to practice. Rob is that rare gem of a teacher who not only talks the talk – he truly walks the walk. I've had the pleasure of working with Rob over the past decade in the meditation and yoga world; from attending our first extended silent retreat together at IMS, to many yoga teacher trainings and teacher development cohorts. It's been a gift having Rob in my life as a trusted and esteemed colleague, and I know his students are incredibly blessed as well. Rob is a compassionate and caring teacher who will guide you well on your journey and practice of meditation and yoga. “

What Rob’s Students Are Saying…

Maureen J. - Yoga practitioner of over 30 years - Washington D.C.

“Rob brings joy to my heart as no two classes are alike. His demeanor and approach is gentle and warm while conveying deep wisdom, profound thinking, and compelling philosophy which is so unique and memorable it continues to elevate me long after the classes have finished. I look forward to his “intention of the day” offered at just the right time that takes root and punctuates each class such that I can’t wait for the recording to post so I can repeat the entire experience.”
Ed O. - Washington D.C.

“I have been taking classes with Rob since 2017. Rob is a gifted yoga teacher, detail-oriented and passionate about the proactive. What I most appreciate about Rob’s approach - is how he integrates both breath work and mindfulness into each class in a unique way. In doing so, Rob’s classes feed both the body and mind in a way that many other yoga instructors fall short of. I would recommend Rob without qualification both for beginners and seasoned practitioners.”
Liz M. - more than 15 year yoga practitioner - Washington DC

“I have been learning yoga from Rob since 2017; mostly vinyasa flow. But one of the many cool things about Rob is that he is constantly learning himself and is always incorporating new techniques and perspectives in his classes.
Rob is a very deliberate teacher. You can tell that he takes time and care to sequence his classes in a way that is safe for the body, but also expands my strength and learning. Rob has a lot of technical skills and language to help his students understand yoga on a deeper level.
With Rob, you get the form down to the nitty gritty so that you can expand your practice in any class with any teacher. I often refer to his classes as "sneaky hard" because, while it seems we're working on technical form, I end up working mentally and physically. You will not be disappointed by the time you spend in Rob's care.”
Catherine - Yin Yoga practitioner for over 10 years, and Certified Yin Yoga instructor- Los Angeles

“The pandemic wiped out a variety of opportunities to practice yoga. As a Yin Yoga practitioner for over 10 years, and a certified Yin Yoga instructor since 2017, we as a community were left fairly rudderless, as most Yin teachers do not know the true dynamic and philosophy of Yin. After a number of years suffering a bevy of folks proclaiming they can instruct Yin Yoga, I felt taken advantage of…
I was so relieved when Rob Phillips, a 300 hour Certified Yin Yoga Instructor, 200 hour and ACE personal trainer; arrived in LA. He teaches with the training and understanding that Yin postures are used to stimulate different channels in the body that Chinese medicine would call meridians, and Nadis in Hatha yoga.
The universe is a richer, more balanced place with Rob leading Yin practice.”
Frank - YouTube

“I look forward to your videos every week and go back to past postings often. You teach yoga like it should be taught. What a benefit to the public.”
Laura C.M. - Tacoma Park MD

“I began learning from Rob in DC in 2017. Both in person and online (in live classes and his videos) he invites students to explore breath, the reach of their body and the stillness of their mind. In my time with him my yoga and meditation practice has deepened even as health and external stresses have waxed and waned.”
Mary D. - Potmac MD

“I have been a yoga student of Rob's for the past eight years. During this time, I have participated in both group classes and virtual private lesson classes.
One of Rob's greatest skills is the way he pays attention to each student's particular challenges. Even in a group class, he has the astute perception to observe and make subtle suggestions to support each of his students.
Rob teaches in a way that is sequential and easy to follow. I recommend Rob highly!”
Susan S. - Washington D.C.

Rob has a gift of providing just the right amount of detail to allow me to follow along without having to look up and to feel like I'm continuously engaged. Additionally, Rob is great at providing easier, moderate and more difficult options to allow each student to practice at their own level. I always know that it will be a great practice with Rob's class.”
