Robert Marlowe – Yuru

Robert is a phenomenal teacher, practitioner, and most importantly, mentor. His combination of patience and expertise is nothing short of inspiring. «Sessions» normally include an engaging rhetoric of music history, life lessons, and humor. To top it all off, he teaches you to build your «own» practice, rather than duplicate other’s.

I have known Bob for about 30 years, long before he started this business. He has always been into yoga and meditation and just hanging out with him is always a fun thing to do. He managed studios in San Francisco and Vancouver, but always wanted to combine Pilates and Yoga in his own blend. He came to our horse ranch near Sacramento and gave yoga sessions to our riders and it worked out well, but he’s too busy these days… this guy is top of the heap for advice, body toning and yoga… The studio is small but very up to date and seriously cool.

Robert Marlowe is a devoted master trainer of yoga, pilates, fitness, and life. His experience and wisdom is the additional gift of his intensely individual exercise experience. Robert is a gem and i feel fortunate to have been his student for three years, now. I brought a friend, who is now a regular. She agrees that he is a wonderful teacher and interesting and lovely person whose techniques have given her strength, flexibility, and toned muscles .The session is both relaxing and stimulating for mind and body. Robert has a well-​thought –out program based on our requests or special needs. He is patient but firm when he redirects us if we begin talking. Robert is a well-​read conversationalist with a very calm presence and great sense of humor. It is no surprise that he is a talented writer as well as inspiring teacher. His wisdom is sometimes the greater gift of our intensely gratifying workout sessions. It is a unique class in the lovely studio tucked away behind Bridgeway in Sausalito. Robert has turned it into a sacred –feeling space.

Robert is terrific! I’ve been working with him for almost two years (initially he helped me get in shape for my wedding). He draws on a wealth of knowledge to construct Pilates routines that are tailored to individual needs and varied enough to keep it interesting. In group classes, he manages to adapt the exercises to an incredibly wide range of capabilities. Even my husband, who tends to resist exercise, looks forward to our weekly classes. Robert has a wonderful style of motivating his students and offers lots of suggestions to continue the practice at home – though there’s no guilt trip if you neglect to follow-​through. Thanks to Robert, I have better defined arms and abs, better balance, and more flexibility.
