Did you know that we have two types of aging. . .?
And even more importantly, did you know that you can change one of them for the better?
We all know our chronological age—the simple tally of years we've accumulated since birth.
But there's another type of aging, which is far more fascinating and malleable: your biological age. This is your second type of aging. It is a measure of the rate with which your body is aging - all the way down to the genetic level.
And this is where it gets exciting. We have the power to influence this second type of aging, our biological age and change our aging trajectory for the better.
The implications?
You Can Choose How You Age. . .
Hi, I'm Eva, founder of YogaUOnline.com. I have spent most of my life studying this wondrous thing we call the human body. . . .
What makes the body so fascinating is that it is constantly renewing itself - and it is intensely malleable.
And, new aging research shows that we have the power to influence this process for the better and build a body that remains more youthful biologically speaking than our actual age.
Yoga represents something truly unique in this regard, because it combines multiple techniques that enhance numerous aspects of cellular function.
Unlike single-focus exercise approaches, an intelligently targeted yoga practice enables you to target numerous aspects of physical fitness: strength training, bone health, joint flexibility and mobility, fascia hydration, cellular detoxification, stress modification, and more.
These are what we call your Aging Superpowers—they are key functional capacities that determine how well you age - not just on a physical level, but also on a cellular level.
This is why we're excited to invite you to join our Empowered Aging Circle - Learn How to Build a Body that Lasts.
In this transformative program, you'll learn exactly how to harness your Aging Superpowers to optimize your yoga practice for maximum support of physical fitness and cellular renewal.
Would you like to:
➔ Learn How to Develop Your Aging Superpowers to Regain Vibrant Health?
➔ Master Proven, Cutting-Edge Techniques that Affect How Well You Live and Age?
➔ And FINALLY STOP FEELING like Nothing is Making a Difference?
If you answered YES, then we're really glad you're here.
You see, all the teachers at YogaUOnline have spent a lifetime learning how to develop a more empowered aging journey - one that expands not just your life span, but your HEALTH span. And they've dedicated their life to bringing this knowledge to more people .... Like you!
But can you really make a difference?
Clearly, aging is not something that we can avoid.
It's actually a lot easier to make a difference than you think - simply by following the right strategy and step-by-step guidance you'll get every step of the way, you'll see results!
Don't let your age control your life, let your life control your age.
Did You Know that You Can LITERALLY Add Years to Your Life?
Did you know that research suggests that adopting just eight healthy behaviors can add up to 24 years to people’s lives?
Did You Know that Only about 25% of Aging is Determined by Genetics?
Studies indicate that only around 25% of the variation in our lifespan is linked to genetics. In other words, our habits and lifestyle choices have a huge impact.
Did you know that recent research shows that lifestyle can slow the rate of cognitive decline by 46.81%?
A favorable lifestyle also helps to offset cognitive decline in people with higher genetic risk. Even changes later in life can make a difference.
But Unfortunately, You May Never Learn about This. . .
Because on average it takes 17.5 years for new research knowledge to get integrated into medical practice.
Ever wished you had an Owner's Manual to Your Body?
Well, read on, and we will show you just how you can get on top of cutting-edge research into the factors that can help slow the aging process - without spending hours and hours reading through long, dry and obscure research studies!
Learn How to Develop Your 6 Aging Superpowers!
And Build a Body that Lasts
Your Ticket to Lifelong Transformation - Tapping into Your Body's Self-Regenerating Powers
In this program, we offer an integrated curriculum focused on how yoga can help us build our Aging Superpowers. These are key functional capacities that determine how well you age - on a physical level all the way down to your cellular health.
This innovative program you will learn specific yoga practices to target the key age-related degenerative changes that otherwise slowly undermine our mobility and independence as we get older.
These changes are decades in the making. But there are many ways yoga can help slow or even reverse these changes. And the earlier you start, the better!
Once you get the tools to address these preclinical precursors to age-related decline, you can take proactive steps to maintain your vitality and independence.
This is how you can build a body that lasts. . .
And Remember, It's Not Just About the Long Haul - It's About How You Feel Right Now. . .
As Mahatma Gandhi once famously said, "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold or silver. . ."
The results we are talking about don't just make a difference in the last decade or two of you life. As you begin to take greater charge of your aging trajectory and progress down the Empowered Aging path, you begin to feel results right away.
Building a Body That Lasts:
Tapping Into Your Body's Remarkable Renewal Power
Did you know that your body is constantly renewing itself? This isn't just poetic language, it's a biological fact. Your body is literally rebuilding itself all the time, creating opportunities for positive change at any age. Here are a few examples:
- About 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1% of all our cells.
- In 80 to 100 days, approximately 30 trillion cells will have been replenished—the equivalent of a new you.
- Your skin renews itself every 3-4 weeks.
- You have a brand new, regenerated liver every 150-500 days.
This constant renewal means that how you live today directly shapes the body you'll have tomorrow.
Every yoga practice, every walk, every strength training session sends signals to your body about what kind of tissue to build and how to build it.
The implications? The physical changes that we associate with aging result not just from age itself, but ALSO from how we're using (or NOT using) our bodies.
The most powerful way to positively influence the body's cellular renewal and regeneration is movement and exercise!
Regular physical activity can help enhance the body's natural regenerative capabilities and promote overall health and longevity.
In the Empowered Aging Journey, you will learn carefully designed yoga practices and movement protocols that will help you develop your Aging Superpowers to send the right signals to your body's renewal systems, supporting healthy aging from the cellular level up.
Remember: Your body will rebuild itself whether you guide the process or not. Why not make sure it's building exactly what you need for vibrant, active aging?

Yoga for Greater Flexibility and Calm:
The Healing Power of Deep Tissue Stretching
Join acclaimed yoga teacher Melina Meza for a 4-part practice series harnessing the profound therapeutic potential of deep yoga stretching to enhance flexibility while also fostering greater inner stillness and calm.
We learn a lot about alignment in yoga poses. But we don't learn anything about HOW to stretch. There are many different types of stretching. And they're NOT all created equal.
Many yogis make a one common stretching mistake: They stay for a few seconds in a pose and then move on to the next. And that is good for a practice that focuses on a combo of many things. However, as a means to build greater flexibility and reset the nervous system, this approach, unfortunately, is limited.
In this practice series, learn how to harness the healing power of deep tissue stretching to build greater flexibility and inner calm.
With Melina as a guide, experience how to create the conditions necessary to go more deeply into a stretch to allow your nervous system to reset, restore, and reintegrate.
This can not only help enhance your flexibility, but can also serve as a powerful antidote to the constant overload of experiences and impressions of modern life.
Join Melina Meza Live Online for a one-hour practice followed by a Q&A!

Reconnecting with Soma:
The Integration of Somatic Principles into Your Yogic Practice
In a world that constantly pulls you away from your body's wisdom, this series with acclaimed somatic teacher James Knight offers a revolutionary path back to your inner guidance system.
Unlike traditional yoga that emphasizes external form, somatic yoga prioritizes your internal experience, helping you develop an intimate, trustworthy relationship with your body's intelligence.
This approach works through your nervous system to create lasting changes, emphasizing interoception—your ability to sense internal signals like muscle tension, emotional states, and energy levels. You'll learn to interpret your body's constant messages about your current needs and circumstances, moving beyond simple awareness toward sophisticated internal sensing.
The series uses "bottom-up processing," allowing your physical sensations to inform your understanding rather than trying to control your body with your mind.
Through slow, exploratory movements that prioritize internal sensing over external achievement, you'll discover how to trust your body's natural wisdom about timing, intensity, and direction.
This isn't just movement—it's reconnecting with your wisdom body's fundamental communication system, the very foundation from which authentic guidance emerges when you learn to listen deeply.

Developing Inner Strength:
Your Path to Building Greater Inner Resilience
Life inevitably brings us challenges, particularly as we enter the last 2-3 decades of our lives, when we begin to face the inevitable changes that come the aging of our own body and those around us.
The ability to flexibly bounce back from adversity and traumatic life events is also referred to as resilience. Resilience is not a trait you either have or do not have; it is a set of strategies that can be learned and practiced.
What if the resilience you're seeking isn't something you need to build from scratch, but something already alive within your body, waiting to be awakened?
This experiential practice series invites you to discover strength not as a concept to study, but as a lived experience you can feel, cultivate, and trust.
Designed specifically for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners over 50, Dr. Arielle Schwartz will guide you beyond the familiar territory of poses and sequences into the deeper landscape of your nervous system—where true resilience lives.
Meet Dr. Arielle Schwartz
Dr. Arielle Schwartz brings over 20 years of experience bridging the worlds of clinical psychology and therapeutic yoga. As a certified complex trauma professional, as well as the author of six books on trauma recovery, she has helped thousands discover how the body holds both our wounds and our capacity for healing.
Dr. Schwartz's approach is grounded in science yet deeply practical—she understands that lasting change happens not in your head, but in your cells, your breath, and your lived experience of moving through the world.

Session 1: Recorded - Your Magical Cinderella Tissue - Why Fascia Matters for Aging
Did you know that new research indicates that fascia - the connective tissue wrapping every muscle and organ - is a fundamental driver of how fast we age?
As fascia loses hydration and stiffens with age, it creates a cascade of problems: reduced mobility, impaired blood flow, chronic inflammation, and accelerated aging.
Despite its critical importance, fascia has been the "Cinderella tissue" - essential but overlooked.
Join us to learn the best ways to use yoga and other techniques to keep the fascia healthy and hydrated. Learn how to build a body that lasts!
Session 2: October 18 - The Hydration Highway: Keys to Keeping Your Fascial Matrix Fluid and Responsive

Discover specific yoga and stretching practices that can help keep your fascial matrix optimally hydrated. Discover gentle but effective methods using breath, micro-movements, and sustained holds that help your fascia return to greater fluidity.
Session 3: November 24 - Release & Restore: Myofascial Release for Easing Movement Restrictions
Even with perfect movement practices, years of life create fascial restrictions that need targeted attention. Learn myofascial release techniques to ease fascial adhesions and restore tissue glide without aggressive manipulation.
Session 4: December 20 - Multidimensional Movement: Fascia Rejuvenation for Enhanced Movement Freedom
Training only in predictable patterns (like traditional weight lifting) leaves your fascial system unprepared for the dynamic demands of life. Discover how to incorporate multi-planar movements into your practice to build fascial resilience and create a body that can respond gracefully to the unexpected.
Session 5: January 20 - Integrating the Missing Component for Longevity: The Power of Proprioception
Learn how to develop the body awareness to catch problems long before they become injuries. Learn why enhancing fascial health isn't just about training muscles and flexibility, but gives you access to one of the keys to creating movement practices and habits that work with your body instead of against it.

Practical Presence: Letting Yoga Find You
With Judith Hanson Lasater
What if instead of constantly trying to "do" yoga perfectly, you could allow yoga to simply find you?
After decades of practice, many experienced teachers and practitioners discover that the most profound transformations happen not through willful effort, but through surrendering to what wants to emerge.
In this bonus course, Judith Hanson Lasater invites you into the deeper stages of practice where yoga flows from authentic presence rather than prescribed form.
As we learn to shift from our mental concepts of how we "should" be practicing yoga, we slowly begin to shift from doing yoga to being yoga.
This isn't about abandoning alignment or technique, but about reconnecting with the art of deep listening, where every breath becomes an invitation to deepen your experience.

Experience the Yoga Difference:
Two-fers, Three-fers and Four-fers!
Wonder how you'd ever get time to incorporate movement practices for all the 6 Aging Superpowers into your life?
We hear you! Even if you spent all your time going to the gym and seeing experts for different types of movement practices, you'd never have the time to cover each element individually.
Instead, experience the yoga difference! Because yoga is a holistic, multi-dimensional, mind-body practice, you get multiple benefits at the same time.
In addition, the way we teach yoga practice gives you something that no other movement practice does: It enables you to develop greater body awareness.
Think of body awareness as your internal GPS system. It is your inner sixth sense that can help you connect with your body's inherent wisdom to better navigate the journey of aging.
Through specific yoga practices and mindfulness techniques, we help you develop and refine this internal guidance system. You'll learn to:
-
Tune into subtle body signals before they become problems.
-
Develop greater body awareness through specialized movement practices.
-
Access your intuitive knowing about what your body needs.
-
Build confidence in your ability to make wise choices about movement and self-care.
