THE 50+ YOGA MOVES METHOD™
Everyday movement begins before the pose. How we prepare our bodies to move matters as much as the movement itself. The 50+ Yoga Moves Method™ is developed to help us age and continue moving with greater awareness, strength, mobility, balance and flexibility—in yoga and in everyday life.
MOVE WITH AWARENESS
How we prepare the body matters as much as everyday movement itself.
BUILD STRENGTH FOR EVERYDAY MOVEMENT
Build strength, mobility and balance for the movements of everyday life..
KEEP MOVING FOR LIFE
Yoga and movement designed to help us stay as active, capable, and engaged as possible for our entire life.
THE FIVE-POINT RESET™
Before and as you move, reset.
Whether you're moving into a yoga pose, standing at the kitchen sink, or simply walking through your day, five simple points of awareness can help bring your body back to a stronger, more intentional starting position. With every movement. Every day.
LIFT • OPEN • SETTLE • ENGAGE • ALIGN
- LIFT — Imagine a string gently lifting the crown of your head toward the sky.
- OPEN — Imagine a string gently lifting from the front of your rib cage, creating space across your chest.
- SETTLE — Let your shoulder blades glide gently down your back and towards the opposite hip for each..
- ENGAGE — Gently draw your navel toward your spine, awakening your core.
- ALIGN — Bring your pelvis toward a comfortable, neutral position.

HOW THE METHOD MOVES WITH YOU
Yoga is where we practice. Life is where we use it.
The 50+ Yoga Moves Method™ connects what we practice on the mat to how we stand, walk, reach, lift, bend, balance, and move through everyday life.
The goal isn't simply to become better at yoga. It's to help us keep moving through life with greater strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, and confidence.,

MOVE WITH CONFIDENCE
Build strength, balance and body awareness for the movements of everyday life.
KEEP YOUR MOBILITY
Practice reaching, bending, turning and moving through comfortable ranges of motion.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
Use movement to support an active, independent and engaged life.
WHY I CREATED 50+ YOGA MOVES™
I came to teaching yoga at 62 with a simple belief: getting older doesn't mean we should expect less from our bodies. It means we should understand them better.
I created 50+ Yoga Moves™ around something I was discovering in my own life: the movements we practice on a yoga mat matter most when they help us live more fully away from it.
Strength. Mobility. Balance. Flexibility. They're part of how we continue traveling, working, playing, connecting, exploring and doing the everyday things that make life ours.
I'm beginning this journey as both a teacher and a student. 50+ Yoga Moves isn't about performing perfect poses. It's about continuing to discover what our bodies can do—and helping each other keep moving.
Every new moment is a new moment to love—starting with myself, yet never ending with myself.
