Hello I am Gregory,
I am Passionate about exploring the great outdoors, and all of the adventure’s nature has to offer. It’s always been about the journey, not the destination. A little over a year ago, a dear friend invited me to Her yoga class saying, “I think you’ll like the people there”. Not only was She right, now I’ve immersed myself in the world of yoga, bought my own mat, completing 200 hours beginners yoga teacher training and loving the person I’m becoming. I’ve also come to understand the importance of breathwork, “BREATH GREGORY” mastering techniques like alternate nostril breathing and Humming Bee Breath. I’m Blessed and eager to deepen my knowledge of Raja Yoga practices and share my journey with others. In my downtime, you’ll find me laughing, dancing, playing or engaging in creative woodworking, fixing things, and cherishing moments with loved ones. I love my Friends!
Whether I’m on a hiking trail or working on a new project, I believe in the beauty of connection—both with nature and the Souls around me. Practice of Yoga is changing me from the inside out and I hope to see you for a practice on the mat or somewhere on the Path!
Namaste

My name is Robert Auclair. I have been practicing Yoga for 5 years and it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I started doing Yoga during my recovery from Pneumonia and I have never looked back.
I had some amazing teachers who brought modifications and props to allow a person with limited mobility, flexibility and stamina to practice. I have come to believe anyone can do Yoga, it's my mission to bring yoga to everyone. I bring the personal experience of modifying the poses to meet students where they are currently able.
