No.
And it’s also not “push through it and hope for the best” yoga.

Fortify40 1.0 is structured, strength-based yoga.

Taught slowly enough that your body actually learns what it’s doing, instead of guessing and compensating.

That’s the difference.

Because let’s be honest…
A lot of yoga lands in one of two places:

1. Nice, but not effective.

2. Or intense, but not supportive.

This lives in the middle, where strength actually sticks.

Not because you pushed harder.
But because the work made sense.

Because most yoga classes are designed to be interesting, not effective.

• They change constantly.

• They move quickly.

• They assume your body will just… figure it out.

And for some bodies, maybe that works.

But if you’re in your 40s and beyond, that guessing game usually shows up as sore backs, tight hips, or feeling like the work keeps landing in the wrong places.

Fortify40 1.0 is different, because it’s structured.

You know:

1. WHAT you’re working on.

2. WHY you’re working on it

3. and HOW it connects to the rest of your body.

Nothing is random. Nothing is rushed.

That’s why people stay.
That’s why my students come back again and again.

Not because it’s entertaining.
Because it works.

I don’t wing it. 🤷‍♀️

- > I’m not improvising.
- > I’m not throwing sequences together and hoping your body catches on.

Fortify40 1.0 is taught with structure.
With intention. With progression you can actually feel.

So you’re not guessing what should be working.
Or wondering if you’re “doing it right.”
Or leaving class thinking, well… I moved, I guess?

I’ve taught this way for years, and I’ve watched bodies change when the work makes sense.

And that’s why over 90% of my students come back.

Not because it’s flashy, or trendy. But because they trust the process.

And once you feel that difference?
You don’t really want to go back.

If your workouts are translating into feeling supported, strong, and stable in daily life, maybe not.

But IF you:

• Still feel it in your lower back

• Still feel disconnected from your core

• Still feel like your strength doesn’t show up when you need it

This fills the gap most workouts miss.

Often sooner than you expect, but probably not in the way you’re used to measuring progress.

For many women, the first thing they notice isn’t strength or flexibility.
It’s relief.

⚡ Relief from feeling unsure about what they’re doing.
⚡ Relief from that low-level tension of trying to “get it right.”
⚡ Relief from the sense that their body is unpredictable.

You might notice that:

• getting up from the floor feels less effortful

• transitions feel less awkward or hesitant

• you’re not bracing or holding your breath as much

• movements feel more familiar instead of foreign

Those are early signs your body is learning, not just exercising.

Visible strength takes time. That’s normal.

But when the work is structured, the nervous system settles first… and everything builds from there.

That’s usually when women think, “Okay. This feels different.”

And that’s when consistency gets easier.

Perfect. You’re in the right place.

Flexibility isn’t the starting point here.

Awareness is.

Most people don’t need to stretch more, they need to learn how to use their body better.

That’s what we’re doing.

Short answer? No! This isn’t designed to make your back or hips work harder than they already are.

The whole point of this series is to stop your back and hips from compensating.

That’s why movements are taught with:

• options

• pauses

• and cues that respect joints and recovery

Translation: there’s room to adjust. Always.

You’re never asked to override your body just to “keep up.”
That’s not the job here.

Each class includes built-in modifications, so you’re not stuck forcing shapes or guessing what to do if something doesn’t feel right.

And if you want a second set of eyes? That’s what the private group is for.

You can ask questions, check alignment, or get support when something feels off, so you’re not left wondering if you’re doing it “wrong.”

However….

If you’re dealing with chronic pain or a more serious injury, this might not be the right entry point, and that’s not a failure. That’s good judgment.

In that case, it’s always best to check in with your doctor or physio first.

Your safety comes first. Always.

This series is here to support your body, not test it.

Yes, and that’s intentional.

Fortify40 1.0 avoids the constant intensity and randomness that can be harder to recover from in midlife.

Instead, we focus on:

• Consistency

• Manageable effort

• And giving your nervous system time to adapt

You build strength without burning yourself out.

You’ll have access to a private space with other women in the program — a place to ask questions, compare notes, and stay connected as you move through the work.

You’ll also have direct access to me throughout the program via the platform.

🙌 If something doesn’t make sense, you can ask.

🙌 If you need clarification, you’ll get it.

And when needed, I can create short demonstration videos to show things visually, so you’re not stuck translating cues on your own.

This isn’t hands-off.
And you’re not left guessing.

You get immediate access to all 8 classes — a 4-week program with two sessions per week.

Nothing is locked.
Nothing is dripped.

You start when you’re ready, and you move at your own pace.

From there, I check in once a week — to keep you focused, grounded, and actually doing the work.
Not to chase you.
Not to motivate you.
To keep you on point.

The structure is already there.

Each class fits into a clear progression.
You know what you’re working on.
You know why it matters.
And you can repeat what helps — without starting over.

Every session comes with a short written guide.
Because clarity beats surprises.

And yes, you can track your progress in the Stan Store app.

Not because you need accountability gimmicks.
But because following through feels good.

You don’t need much to get started.
Just a few basics that help the practice feel more supported.

A non-slip yoga mat — something stable enough that you’re not worrying about sliding.

A pair of yoga blocks — useful for adjusting poses, supporting balance, and making positions more accessible.

A strap (or a belt or towel) — helpful when range of motion isn’t there yet.

None of these are required on day one. But they do make the work feel better in your body.

Use what you have.
Add tools as you go.

If you’re already thinking,
“Okay… but what happens when I miss a few days?”

Good. That tells me you’re paying attention.

Because this isn’t built on motivation.
It’s built on returning.

✨ No streaks to protect.
✨ No falling behind.
✨ No imaginary finish line you somehow missed while living your life.

You stop.
You start again.
Right where you left off.

‘Cause strength doesn’t come from pressure. It comes from repetition you can actually live with.

And let’s be honest, life doesn’t ask for permission.

Work gets busy.
Kids get sick.
Energy dips.
You blink… and the week is gone.

Which is exactly why these classes are pre-recorded.

• You practice when it works. Morning. Evening. Between meetings.

• All of it counts.

Each class runs 30–45 minutes.
And if some weeks you only get one in?

Still counts. Still works. Still part of the process.

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being available to come back.

Start where you are.
Return when you can.
Let the strength build quietly, without drama.💛

You get 7 days to try the program.

^^^ I want you to decide based on experience, not hope, pressure, or a sales page.

If you try the classes and it’s not the right fit, you can request a full refund within the first 7 days. Just send a message.

If you choose to opt out, your access to the program and member space will end at that point.

After the first 7 days, refunds aren’t available.

So don’t sit on it.
Log in.
Do the classes.
See how it feels in your body.

Then decide.
