Book Reading & Conversation: Making Ancient Wisdom Accessible (and Fun)
We’re thrilled to welcome Robert Birnberg—yoga therapist, educator, and author—to our SoulAdvisor Book Club series. Now based in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Robert spent decades in the U.S. immersed in the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar, studying and teaching alongside some of the world’s most respected yoga teachers.
In this vibrant 45-minute session, Robert will share the inspiration behind his book Why Yoga Works & How It Can Work for You—a down-to-earth, insightful guide that makes the profound teachings of classical yoga philosophy easy to understand and apply. Known for his humour, warmth, and deep wisdom, Robert has a gift for turning ancient truths into practical, often hilarious tools for modern life. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this session will inspire, clarify, and reconnect you with the heart of yoga.
We warmly encourage you to read the book in advance and come ready with your reflections and questions. You can purchase Why Yoga Works here:
