I expected to learn to endure strength training. I never expected to ENJOY it.
Five benefits that changed everything and none of them are vanity metrics.

Shoulders are under-strengthened in yoga. There are WAY more chest openers and backbends than strengtheners. That's why chaturanga gets dicey.
This Superset Practice builds the functional strength you need for every day activity and to keep your yoga going.
It's got a yoga flow feel with serious shoulder strength building.
Give it a go.

Fascia. It runs through your entire body and influences everything. Your organs, your gait, your facial expressions, your balance.
And when you feel stuck, locked up, or like there is a twist and turn somewhere in your body. That's connective tissue talking to you.
Most movement practices bypass this organ of connectivity. I teach a "perfect warm up" that gives you a clean slate for moving, breathing, and creating new patterns in your body.
Learn more in the podcast episode.

When I was at Padma Yoga for a training, we focused a lot on balance. And for good reason. It's strength slowed down.
Getting wobbly or feeling clumsy is an early warning sign of senses getting dull. Your eyes, your ears, your feet, connective tissue, and stabilizer muscles.
The good news? It's highly trainable. Here are two of my favorite flows to build up your balance.
