Robin has had a long run in professional sports, competing at the highest level in Women’s Cycling. Towards the end of her career, she wanted to broaden her scope by learning about wine, food, and travel. Over the last 10 years, she has focused on learning different facets of the wine industry through her studies in the WSET program, where she is a Diploma candidate and holds her Professional Wine Educators Certificate. She also loves her community and is heavily involved.
In her spare time, Robin loves being outside riding bikes, playing Pickleball, being active, and spending time with her partner, Kurt, and her GSP Lucy.
She lives in Nevada City, CA, but is originally from Nashville, TN, where she still has family roots.
Health and Fitness is her true passion, and she loves sharing her energy and knowledge with the members of South Yuba Club.

Raised in a dance studio taking ballet, tap, and jazz from the ages of 3 to 21, I found my yoga practice sustained me after my dance career. With my background in classical ballet, I enjoy teaching Barre and bring ballet terms, techniques, methodology and the joy of movement to class. In class, I especially enjoy seeing the looks of determination to get through a tough set, as well as witnessing the softness in the eyes and faces when we are flowing.

I’ve practiced yoga for over 3 decades and began teaching in 2019, and am certified in both Vinyasa and the 26&2 Series (formerly known as Bikram). I continue to take yoga courses at Ananda as I gravitate towards the fullness of Ananda yoga and the depth of their coursework. I deeply appreciate the practice of yoga and the strength, flexibility, and balance it can bring to the physical body; the release, relaxation, and allowing in the subtle body; and the peace and stillness yoga brings to the mind, heart, and soul.
My ultimate goal is to make yoga accessible through offering modifications, while keeping everyone safe in alignment and working right at our edge. Always honoring where the body is in the moment, asanas are an ongoing practice moving directionally toward your edge, and surprising yourself along the way.

Each class is yours, and you are always your greatest teacher. A favorite quote from an instructor of mine really honors the reason behind this practice, “If you come to a yoga class and stay in Savasana the whole hour…you’re doing it right!”
