Robin Ivy Payton

Meet Robin


​Private Yoga with Robin


Robin Ivy Payton co-founded Maine Yogafest School of Yoga’s teacher training program. A Yoga Alliance RYT 500, E-RYT 200 and YACEP, Robin’s training began with Jacqui Bonwell and expanded through advanced studies with Pranakriya Yoga School, The Lotus Pond in Tampa, Marlysa Sullivan, Grace Jull, and Maine Yoga School. In 2020, Robin is attending online Master Classes, related to emotional well-being, with Bo Forbes.

Robin leads Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga teacher trainings in addition to weekly classes and private sessions including Vinyasa Flow, Gentle Yoga, Yin, Yin/Yang and Yoga Nidra. Her offerings also include Ropes Wall, Yoga Slings and Chairs and astrology yoga. A freelance writer, astrologer and intuitive, Robin writes for Llewellyn Publications, teachers tarot reading, and created Robin’s Zodiac Zone, a weekly astrology blog, in 1999.

Robin and her husband, Jared, are both yoga teachers who enjoy living close to the ocean with their two beloved dogs.
“I find yoga to be endlessly creative in both teaching and practice. Since our bodies and minds are different every day and thrive on both familiarity and newness, I teach or practice according to the day’s energy, looking to the Moon, Sun, planets, seasons and cycles for intuitive guidance.” 
Private Yoga Speciality Areas:  Robin has been teaching private sessions since 2014. Her specialty areas include:  
  • Restorative Yoga (opening the body, resting the mind)
  • Yin Yoga (stretching in reclined, seated and forward bending postures)
  • Yoga Nidra (guided meditation for stress relief and increasing resilience), and intuitive guidance that may include energy work such as Reiki for her clients.
  • Classic Hatha Yoga practice of half standing, strengthening, balancing postures followed by backbends, forward bends and other floor based postures. This practice can help one recover, maintain of increase strength, range of movement, flexibility and stamina after periods of inactivity, injury or illness.
Robin can help you focus on healthy movement patterns and transitions, to move with more ease and to reduce stress on the joints.
