Robin Penney Movement

Build strength that supports the life you want to live through training that feels as good as it works.

I’m Robin, a Functional Movement Coach and Steel Mace Strength Coach.

Coaching online worldwide, based in Ashland, Oregon

Get strong without wrecking your nervous system.

You want to get stronger, but traditional strength training has never felt like the right fit.

I’ve coached movement for 15 years, and I keep meeting the same woman. She’s flexible, but not strong. Her hips and low back ache more than they used to. She knows building strength matters right now, in midlife, and she has no idea where to actually start.

I’m Robin. I help midlife women build functional strength through yoga and an unconventional weighted tool called a steel mace. Together, they create a practice that builds strength, balance, and confidence in the way you move. No yoga experience required.

What I Do Differently:

  • Build strength that supports the way you move every day with training that’s challenging enough to make progress without being sidelined by soreness.
  • Create a program build around your body, not the average body, starting with a Functional Movement Screen.
  • Train your nervous system alongside your muscles, so recovery is part of the plan, not an afterthought
  • Coach 1:1 and in small groups, online worldwide from my home base in Ashland, Oregon

How We’ll Get Started: 

The best place to start is undesrtanding how your body moves today. 

Every client begins with a Functional Movement Screen. Together, we’ll identify how your body moves, where you need more strength or stability, and what will help you make the most progress. 

From there, I’ll create a program that’s built specifically for you.

About Us:

Hi, I’m Robin.

E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Steel Mace Vinyasa Certified, Yoga Detour Certified

In 2017, my back went out the day I finished teaching a yoga retreat in Santorini. Eleven hours home on a flight, trying not to move, and I knew something had to change.

I’d taught yoga for over a decade by then. I thought a strong practice was all my body needed. My hips and low back said otherwise.

That experience led me to rethink what strength could look like in midlife and to build an approach that combines strength training with the movement practices I already loved.

Now I coach midlife women through Steel Mace Vinyasa, blending strength, yoga, and recovery into one practice. Stronger, not smaller.
