Hello, my name is Roberta McGinley. My yoga journey started in 2020, when I had just finished Culinary School and was working many long hours as a Pastry Chef in NJ.

I have always been very active; avid runner, bike rider, gym enthusiast, but I was feeling the need for something else. I was drawn to a Power Yoga class at a local gym, and from that point my journey began.

My first practice was Ashtanga, which I did for about a year, then I went to a Bikram class and that really changed the direction of my life.

I had quit my job and attended Jimmy Barkan’s Charter 200 hour TT in Florida followed by his Level 2 TT. I moved back to the Hudson Valley and was traveling to NJ or Conn to practice Hot Yoga. An opportunity presented itself here in NY to open a studio in 2008 and that was the birth of Tadasana Yoga Studio. The first Hot Yoga studio in NY.

I continued my journey with other amazing teachers as I just felt the need to keep growing and sharing with my community.

I completed many hours with Baron Baptiste attending week long immersions as well as his level one, Journey in Power Certification. Other fabulous teachers that I follow are Bryan Kest, Sean Corn, Shiva Rea and the list goes on.

I love the practice of yoga for all that it offers, body, mind, spirit. It is a continuous practice on the mat and off. It brings me great joy to share this practice with others as it has truly helped me in my life to find peace and happiness no matter what the circumstances.
