HEADSTAND Strength:NO NECK COMPRESSION #headstand #functionalyoga #inversion #yogastrong #yogaover40

I don’t put my head on the floor in headstand.

I ONLY do head OFF the floor.

Because it builds core + upper-body strength instead of compressing my neck.

It’s harder, true. But you gain power and strength. And reduce wear-and-tear.

If your neck feels “worked” after inversions… that’s not a badge of honor. It’s data about what is bearing the weight of the pose.

Want to work towards this? It begins with your CORE. Try the 10 minute Core Practice next.

Stop Injuries With Smarter Movement #yogaanatomy #yogaafter40 #yogaover40

Craving deeper body connection? It starts by rewriting movement patterns. Motor learning demands focus and feedback. Without it, the body defaults to old, energy-saving habits—leading to repetitive stress injuries. It’s not about weakness; it’s about rehearsing the wrong things. To move smarter, you often need to go slower. #slowisstrong #yogastrong #functionalyoga #yogaalignment #therapeuticyoga

Before I was connected to my core, lifting weights and building strength felt a little bit scary. Everything was wobbly. As my alignment improved and my core became consistent, I gained confidence. And the muscle definition followed.

3 Simple Movements to Restore Your Shoulders #shoulderpain #shoulderstretch #upperbackpain #momlife

When you don’t have a lot of time (or energy) a few tried and true movements can restore and reset you.

These are my top 3 when you have an achy upper back, it seems like your “wing” can’t find the right spot, or there’s a big knot on the inner edge of your shoulder blade.

Mamas holding and carrying kiddos, therapists, nurses, dentists, hygienists and hairstylists always need these.

Handstand Prep: Standing Sequence for Core & Balance #handstandworkout #homeyogapractice #yogaover40

If you want to balance in a handstand, you can do endless core and leg lifts…. Or train your connection in standing poses.

This is a favorite flow:

1. Parsvottanasana: both hands on front ankle, draw ribs in and up, pour into your legs.

2. Transition to Warrior 3 / standing split variation: ideally with both hands still on your ankle. THIS is the balance training!

3. Warrior 1: keep the core connection, pour into your legs, stay heavy in your front heel.

Strength Training for Women Over 40 #strengthtrainingforwomen #womenover40 #yogastrong

I hated the gym. But now I lift 4-5x/week and LOVE IT.

If you’re a woman over 40 and “not a gym person”, find a way that works for YOU. You can start at home with bands and hand weights. Something is better than nothing. As you gain confidence, you’ll feel more comfortable at the gym. This is exactly what I did.

Hear the whole story, including how I was “untrainable” on Youtube.

Walk Your Way to Calm

The side-to-side eye movement when walking calms your fear response. Plus, the rhythmic movement balances your breathing and nervous system. Low effort, huge payoff.
