Why Yoga Alone Isn’t Enough After 50

Yoga is an excellent practice for mobility, flexibility, breath, core control, and body awareness—but it doesn’t fully develop all muscle groups or provide the resistance intensity needed for optimal muscle hypertrophy (growth) balanced strength, or optimal body composition. And- it doesn’t load the bones enough to prevent age-related decline.

Highlight #2

To create a resilient and strong body, we need to supplement yoga with targeted strength and power training. While yoga strengthens many postural and stabilizing muscles, certain muscle groups tend to be underdeveloped, undertrained or not loaded sufficiently for hypertrophy.

Highlight #3

Adding strength training to our yoga practice through compound movements that address more than one muscle group, will: -Prevent injury -Improve posture and alignment -Build metabolic tissue (lean muscle) -Bone density -Support hormonal health

About the Course

Embark on a transformative journey with this 3-video series designed specifically for women 50+. Strengthen your body, protect your bones, and elevate your yoga practice. We need high-intensity training, heavy lifting which activates type II muscle fibers (those most at risk of atrophy with age) and short, sharp workouts to build strength, maintain bone density (through impact + resistance) to stimulate osteoblast activity, and boost metabolism. The focus is on building up to lifting heavier weights, performing fewer reps and load the bones with Sprint Interval Training, plyometrics and other HIIT exercises. Benefits: -Increases Metabolic rate -Improves posture and stability -stronger bones -Improves cardiovascular health -Maintains lean muscle and reduces fat  -Improves immunity through the protein cytokines that controls the       growth and activity of immune cells.   Join us today and unlock a stronger, healthier you!
