My name is Robyn Tiger. I loved practicing medicine for many years. But over time, I felt incredibly stressed, anxious, imbalanced and overwhelmed and I developed many symptoms and illnesses of my own. I consulted with several of my medical colleagues, took many medications, had negative imaging studies, and was even in therapy in an effort to improve my mental health…. and….I only got worse. I came off all medications seeking another avenue to health. I had been hearing and reading more and more about yoga & meditation and, being a gym rat, had always thought that was for people who twisted their bodies into shapes that I thought from my understanding of anatomy shouldn’t be possible. I made a New Year’s resolution with a friend to give it a try and found that my preconceived notions were all incorrect. After the very first class, I felt an unbelievable shift. I experienced a sense of calm and peace that was palpable. Over time, my symptoms and “illnesses” all resolved. Every last one. My scientifically trained mind needed to unwrap the mystifying impact of yoga & meditation practices at a deeper, fact-based level. I dove into the medical literature and learned that these practices diminish the side effects and improve outcomes for many medical conditions. In addition, they significantly decrease stress levels which enhance well-being, and even increase longevity! What was my diagnosis? A severe case of chronic stress. What was the cure? Self-care With physician stress, anxiety, depression and burnout on the rise, I am deeply passionate about sharing what I have learned with as many physicians as I can. I am here to support you so that you too can relieve your stress, elevate your calm and live your best life!
