The calm after the storm, finding love and light within!

Dr. Tory Robinson began practicing yoga after a traumatic experience. Yoga helped her find her way through a state of high-functioning depression. Someone that is experiencing this type of depression operates as if everything is normal. She went to work everyday and interacted with others as she was expected to do in her personal life. Behind closed doors things were different. Most days she came home after work and crawled into bed till the next morning. The dark quiet bedroom was the only place she found solace. But… In 2019 Dr. Tory became certified as a 200 hour registered yoga teacher. Her yoga business, Asana and Beyond Yoga and Wellness was created to provide yoga and wellness to the BIPOC community. Having practiced in spaces where no one looked like her. Bringing yoga to diverse populations is especially important. Yoga and mindfulness support social emotional development through the mind and body connection.
