The kind that actually applies when you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, peri-menopause, or menopause.

What’s changing in your body. Why poses you used to love now feel different. And why modifying isn’t a downgrade. It’s how you practice with less pain, more clarity, and better long-term strength.

I cover outdated cues, practices that do not support hormonal shifts, and how to adapt your yoga when you feel stiff, depleted, overwhelmed, or simply trying to feel like yourself again.

If you want yoga that respects the reality of this chapter of life, not the routine you had at 25, you are in the right place.
