Get strong without wreaking your nervous system.

Maybe you’ve spent years on the mat. Maybe you haven’t stepped on one at all. Either way, the gym never felt like your place, and you’re ready for real strength.

I’m Robin, and I’m a Movement Coach and Steel Mace Strength Coach. I help midlife women to build functional strength in a way that meets you where you are. No mat experience required.

What I Do:

  • Build real, functional strength using steel mace, bodyweight, and yoga, programmed with your recovery in mind, not against it

  • Start every client with a Functional Movement Screen, so your program is built around your actual body, not a generic template

  • Coach 1:1 and in small groups, online worldwide from my home base in Ashland, Oregon

  • Train your nervous system alongside your muscles, so recovery is part of the plan, not an afterthought

“Working with Robin has been so great for my motivation, strength, balance, focus, and stress release. All the things! Adding the steel mace to my yoga practice is a fun way to get out of my mind and into my body, and Robin is a fantastic teacher. She’s playful, incredibly knowledgeable and has a keen sense of body mechanics and verbal cueing. I love that I’m getting stronger by doing something more fun and more profound than just “fitness.” It feels good to be both challenged and inspired by a movement practice!”

Who This is For:

This is for you if:

  • You want real strength, whether yoga’s been part of your life for years or if this is new territory for you

  • You’ve tried the gym, or thought about it, and it never felt built for you

  • You want a practice that respects your body, not another program that leaves you more depleted than you started

  • You’re ready to work with a coach, not follow another app alone.

Hi there! I’m Robin.

Robin Penney, a Movement Coach specializing in strength and mobility for midlife women

Since 2012, I’ve coached women to reduce stress and feel great in both body and mind—using strength-based yoga, functional movement, and recovery practices that actually stick.

 

My goal is to shake things up in the yoga world. What makes my approach to movement unique is that it centers around one crucial thing: STRENGTH—not just the kind that builds muscle, but the kind that builds resilience, regulation, and rhythm.

 

By teaching women how to build and leverage functional strength—and how to recover intentionally—I’ve helped hundreds of midlife women:

 

Improve mobility & flexibility

Reduce their risk of injury

Boost confidence & independence

Actually enjoy their bodies again

 

Listen.

I still love a good stretchy yoga flow. Breathwork, stretching & de-stressing tools are a part of everything I teach.

 

But if you want to feel better for the long haul, strength and recovery both need to be in your weekly rhythm.


Let’s build that together.

Let's Meet!

What others say

“As a 43yo breast cancer survivor, I had 2 years of physical and mental trauma to overcome. Working with Robin has significantly improved my range of motion, increased my strength in load bearing exercises, and settled fears of feeling unaccomplished or inner doubt that I would never be the same. This form of self care is priceless and absolutely worth the commitment.”
Malaka Thompson
“Don’t ignore things until you bulge a disc like I did. Every time I moved with pain I felt like I was a step closer to surgery. Chiropractic made it worse. Needed a cortisone shot in the nerve just to exist. Then I did one-on-one coaching with Robin and learned where I was over/under-developed and how to fix it. Today I pulled weeds for three hours!”
Leslie Krzeczowski
“I did your first class and, to no surprise, it was amazing! I could follow along easily as your explanations are always thorough and on point. You know how to break down movement, always engaging the right muscles focusing on strength and minimizing strain. I look to repeating this class and doing all the rest!”
Monique Campeau-Leblanc
“I have regained confidence in movement, confidence in self and with that, the ability to not just regain my former abilities but to move and live comfortably, safely, and beyond past limitations!”
