When the Yoga That Used to Work… Doesn’t
I still think about a yoga class that changed how I practice, not because it was perfect, but because it taught me how to listen.
This is a reflection on midlife, changing bodies, and what happens when yoga becomes a relationship instead of a performance.
Yoga + Brain Health
Brain fog, slower recovery, feeling wired but tired; these are common experiences for women in midlife.
Here’s how yoga can support brain and nervous system health after 40, using small, consistent practices that add up over time.
Why Yoga Feels Different After 40 {And Why That’s Not a Bad Thing}
A friend asked me recently, “If you didn’t know your age, would anything feel different?”
And honestly? Maybe not.
Most of what we spiral about isn’t age. It’s disconnection.
Our bodies send quiet signals: a tight shoulder, shorter breath, sudden fatigue. But instead of listening, we override, power through, push past.
Until a whisper becomes a siren.
👉 This post is about that moment. The space between “something feels off” and “something’s wrong.”
It’s about how midlife changes the way we need to listen, and how yoga becomes a practice not of performance, but of awareness.
If you’ve felt a little off in your body lately and you’re not sure why… this is for you.
Yoga, Aging and Why It’s Never Too Late to Begin
Think it’s too late to start yoga? Honestly… you’re not the only one who’s wondered.
But here’s the truth: midlife isn’t the end of something. It’s the beginning of something better. A time when yoga stops being about nailing the perfect pose and starts becoming a quiet return to yourself.
At this stage, it’s not about flexibility. It’s about resilience, awareness and feeling strong your way, in your body.
This post breaks down 5 very real, very doable reasons WHY midlife might actually be the best time to start {or come back to} yoga.
No pressure. Nothing dramatic. Just permission to begin again, with more compassion and a lot less noise.

Is Yoga Enough in Your 40s? Why Strength Starts to Matter More
Somewhere around 40, my yoga practice stopped feeling like enough. I was flexible, SURE, but not strong. That realization became my wake-up call.
This post is for every woman who’s ever wondered why her body feels different in midlife, and what to do about it.
It’s about bringing strength back into the mix — because after 40, stretching alone won’t cut it.
Strength isn’t a bonus; it’s ESSENTIAL.
When a Yoga Adjustment Doesn’t Feel Safe {Even If It’s Meant to Help}
What happened in a yoga class the other day reminded me WHY consent still isn’t standard in many yoga spaces, and why that needs to CHANGE.
This post is not about being anti-touch. It’s about being pro-agency, pro-safety, and pro-consent.
Because the yoga we teach should be as intentional and respectful as the yoga we practice.
