I failed strength training 2x. Even when I was in a relationship with a personal trainer! What made it finally stick?

#1 - I was just a few months shy of 40 and felt like my grace period of avoidance was (finally) over.
#2 - Visible muscle loss. Batwings were blooming on my warms and my inner thighs were getting flabby.
#3 - I ignored every piece of conventional gym advice I was given.

I realized that if I was going to do it, I need to make it my own.
I encourage you to do the same.

Here is a video with my strength training story including how my (now) husband helped me get started.

Know you need to build strength but "not a gym person"? More of a yoga and pilates gal? Me too. So I started building strength where I felt most at home. On my yoga mat.

Get a taste of the yoga-inspired, strength-infused practices we call Asana Strong. This one builds steady strength for Headstand.

Use the familiar yoga poses to notice the difference the strength building has made in your body.

After a baby, you have a whole new body and a whole new life. Recently a student wanted simple movements to help her shoulders now that she's got 2 toddlers. Here is what I gave her.

As I was approaching 40, I could see the signs of perimenopause. Especially muscle loss. I knew I needed to build strength but I hated the gym. So I started building strength on my yoga mat.

I began with bands. Then progressed to hand weights. And I learned to build strength in a way that felt right for me.

If you know you need strength, but you've been more of the "yoga and pilates type" I understand. And I've built a strength training program for women just like me and you. It's called Asana Strong. It's strength-building that feels like yoga. Smart, sustainable, whole-body-respectful.

There will be resources on YouTube, a whole course in the 20 Minute Miracle App, AND if you want 1-1 attention and personalization, look into the 12-week mentorship program.

May this be your YEAR OF STRONG!
