Yoga in Midlife -
where Do I Even Start?
The class that comes before the class.
why this exists…
You've wanted to try yoga (or return to it).
Something keeps stopping you.
Maybe you looked up a class and felt overwhelmed before you even left the house. Maybe you tried a video and spent the whole time straining your neck to watch the screen, with no one to tell you if you were doing it right. Maybe you walked into a studio once, felt completely out of place, and never went back.
Maybe it's your body. It's different now. You're different now. And yoga feels like it's for someone else…someone younger, more flexible, someone who already knows what she's doing.
"Even after 20 years of practice, I walked back in after something that changed everything for me…and felt like a complete stranger. I almost decided that chapter of my life was done." -me :)
But yoga came back. And when it did, when I felt what it was doing for my body and my nervous system in this season of life, I wanted to share it with everyone I knew.
And that's when I started noticing who wasn't in the room. Women who wanted to try but never walked through the door. Women who'd been through something…maybe a health event, a loss, just the slow accumulation of life that made them feel differently about the body they were living in.
They all had the same thing in common: they didn't feel like they belonged there. Even though they did.
There are fantastic yoga studios and instructors right here in our community and you may be missing out simply because stepping through the door feels too intimidating. This workshop is the bridge. You'll leave ready to try them out, find the one that fits, and build a practice that's yours.
that's all I needed to hear…
what you'll walk away with…
The confidence to walk in and feel like you belong
An understanding of what your teacher is saying and what it actually means
An explanation of the props, the rules, the unwritten language
Knowing what to wear - spoiler alert, nothing special required!
Knowing what to do when you get lost, feel behind, or need to rest
Learning to love movement that works for your body, not someone else's
mat or chair. flexible or not.
Wherever you are in this season…you belong here.
how it works…
We start with what's stopping you
A simple, anonymous check-in that shows every woman in the room she's not alone…and that every question she has is the right one to ask.
We decode the world of yoga
Class types, studio etiquette, the unwritten rules, mat placement, what to wear, what every prop does. The map most people never get before their first class.
We get on the mat (or in the chair) together
Seven simple foundational poses (with full modifications) and the language your teacher uses, decoded in real time. From a mat or from a chair. Every single thing has a version that works for you.
You leave knowing you're ready
Not ready someday. Ready now. With a handout you'll actually use and a real next step if you want to keep going.

JOIN the waitlist to be the first to know about the next one.
This is different.
Here's how:
No strangers
A small room of women who came in with the same questions you did. You'll feel it from the first five minutes.
No confusion
We decode the language, the props, the etiquette…all the things every regular already knows and no one thinks to explain.
No keeping up
This isn't a yoga class. It's the workshop before the class. The pace is yours. The chair is ALWAYS an option.
A note on space
This workshop is intentionally small. A limited number of spots are available so everyone in the room gets the experience it's designed to be. Once a session fills, it's full.
If you've been thinking about it — now is the time.

There are fantastic studios right here.
Frederick has a vibrant yoga community and you may have been missing out simply because stepping through the door felt too intimidating. This workshop is here to change that. You'll leave ready to explore, find the studio that fits, and build a practice that's actually yours.
This workshop is the step that gets you closer.
