MONTHLY OVERVIEW

We can change our aging trajectory for the better - but also for the worse...

And hands down, one of the leading drivers of aging the robs our body of years and erodes our cognitive health and resilience is stress.

Join Lynn Crimando and learn how yoga can help to stress-proof your mind and body by reconnecting with the deeper layers of your being. 

Through four targeted practices, you'll develop intimate familiarity with each layer of your being—from physical sensations to your deepest inner wisdom and guidance.

Practice One awakens deep listening to your physical body, moving beyond basic awareness to attune to subtle sensations and your body's constant feedback about internal states. You'll learn to approach bodily sensations with curiosity rather than resistance.

Practice Two activates your vital energy body, teaching you to sense life force currents and self-regulate your nervous system for greater equilibrium and presence.

Practice Three develops a new relationship with your mental and emotional patterns, cultivating witness consciousness that observes without entanglement. Learn practices to distinguish between reactive habits and authentic insight.

In Practice Four, explore embodied awareness practices that can help you tune in to the subtle voice of inner guidance that emerges in stillness.

This isn't about controlling your experience, but creating space for your deeper, innate wisdom to guide you home to yourself.

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.

Cultivate Enhanced Mobility—one of the 6 Aging Superpowers—supporting independence, confidence, and joy in movement while discovering how therapeutic stretching can offer a gateway to greater inner calm and body wisdom.

In this 4-part practice series, yoga therapist and physical therapist Chrys Kub will show you how to take traditional stretching a big step further by integrating evidence based stretching techniques into your yoga practice.

This transformative series marries powerful mobility and flexibility techniques with autonomic nervous system applications for profound mind-body integration.

Experience Revolutionary Benefits:

• Mobility Enhancement: Learn Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and reciprocal inhibition techniques that work with your nervous system's natural reflexes for deeper, lasting flexibility gains.
• Nervous System Reset: Shift from stress to rest-and-restore mode, improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and enhancing emotional resilience.
• Body Wisdom Access: Develop heightened interoception to sense and trust your body's intelligence.
  Sustainable Vitality: Build therapeutic stretching practices as daily medicine for aging gracefully.

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.

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.

BONUSES

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.

A Journey to Stability and Confidence

Aging brings unique challenges that require specific attention to stability, balance, and core strength. This livestream series teaches you have to build greater Core Intelligence. Experience how the core is the powerhouse of stability and balanced movement.

Learn different approaches to enhance core activation and experience how this newfound strength translates into improved posture and reduced fall risk in daily activities.

It is now increasingly recognized that the fundamental connective biological matrix of the body, the fascia, is far more than the inert wrapping material, it was previously believed to be. In fact, says Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers in this interview, fascia is now recognized as an independent regulatory system in the body.

And while the nervous system performs its regulatory function via neurons and connecting nerves, the language of the fascia is movement. New discoveries highlight how the tensional patterns within the fascial matrix communicates instantly and effortless what happens throughout the whole system.

Tom discusses how new discoveries in fascia research holds tremendous implications for changing not just human form but also behavior and emotional patterns. He also discusses why the emerging understanding of the central role played by the fascia in bodily health puts new emphasis on the role of movement therapies in healing. He predicts a medicine of the future in which the emphasis on movement as therapy will play a central role. He also discusses why new discoveries in fascia research imply that traditional approaches to exercise are counter-productive, and why more holistic movement forms like yoga is far more useful for training the fascia.
