Bob McLaughlin

Bob’s career encompassed working as an aeronautical engineer for Pratt & Whitney for 38 years. He is presently working as a consultant during his “retirement”. He brings his structural mechanics and physics expertise to augment his yoga teaching techniques. Bob began practicing yoga 1998 after 3 decades of impact sports and deteriorating knees. His daily yoga practice has enabled him to significantly regain his flexibility while improving his balance, strength and coordination. In 2006 he began practicing Asthanga yoga when his son and daughter in-law (Todd & Tamara) opened Native Yoga Center in Juno, Fl. In 2007 Bob completed Tim Miller’s Ashtanga Teacher Training Intensive in San Diego. In 2009 he completed Native Yoga Teacher Training and is registered with Yoga Alliance at the RYT-200 level. He has attended numerous workshops with notable leaders in the Asthanga method, Tim Miller, Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, David Swenson, Lino Miele, and one of his most memorable being with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, during his Islamorada, Fl tour. For Bob, it is an extraordinary experience and privilege to have Todd and Tamara as his primary teachers.
