Yoga & Strength Training for Women in Midlife
Get strong as slowly as possible.
Come as you are.
There’s a lot to navigate in middle life and beyond. So many body changes, seemingly overnight.
Strange symptoms no one talks about. Some days you are underslept and grumpy… other times you feel vibrant and strong.
You deserve to feel welcome and at home no matter how you show up. Want a fun, engaging, and sustainable yoga and strength practice that’s pelvic floor safe… that you can do in your PJs? You’ve found it.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
HI, I’M MICHELLE
I have been teaching yoga and strength training for over 25 years. I went through surgical menopause, rebuilt a studio from scratch, and developed strong opinions about pistachio butter.
I teach women in their 40s through 70s how to get genuinely stronger — slowly, carefully, and without anyone telling them their body is a problem to solve. My online studio, It's All Yoga, is small by design: real classes, real attention, real talk about what midlife bodies actually need.
The philosophy is simple, if counter-cultural: slow is the strategy. Yoga and strength classes. You don't need more stretching — you need strength.
I live in the Sacramento area with a rescue dog named Maple and a black cat named Magic, who serve as brand mascot and quality control officer, respectively. My weekly newsletter, Currently, lands every Tuesday and is never, ever a content strategy.
Come for the strength training. Stay for everything else.

Personal Tracker - Because sometimes it seems like mysterious things are happening with your body. But they're not mysterious if you're paying attention. This is a simple way to find hidden patterns in your mood and health issues.
Feel Your Feelings Meditation - It sounds like a small thing, but taking a moment to feel your feelings can calm your mind, regulate your heart rate and soften muscular tension.
Happy Low Back, Healthy Pelvic Floor Yoga Practice - A big factor for a happy low back is strong hips and glutes. A big factor in a healthy pelvic floor is hip mobility. This class does both.
