SHIFT Yoga & Strength

12/30/2025

New year. New energy. A completely different way to move your body.

This isn’t a loud, intimidating gym or a “push harder” fitness culture.

We’re a strength + movement studio designed for women in midlife who want to feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies again.

✨ Strength training for women 40+
✨ Joint-safe, functional movement
✨ Core strength that supports daily life
✨ Menopause-informed coaching
✨ A room full of women cheering each other on

We focus on progress, not punishment.
Consistency, not extremes.
And building strength that actually lasts.

If you’re ready for a new relationship with fitness — welcome.

Teaching yoga flows, coaching strength circuits, counting reps… and then trying to speak English 😵‍💫

If you know, you know 😂

The final sound bath of 2025 ✨

As the Winter Solstice arrives—the longest night of the year—we’ll gather to pause, soften, and gently close this chapter together. This sound bath is an invitation to rest deeply, release what this year has held, and plant quiet intentions as the light slowly begins to return.

There’s something powerful about ending the year in stillness… letting the nervous system exhale before we step forward into what’s next. Join us this Sunday at noon for this special solstice experience.

🕯️ Deep rest, reflection, and renewal

If your soul is sending calls straight to voicemail, I see you.

This February 6–8, we’re gathering at Turf Valley Resort for a yoga + sound staycation retreat centered around rest, quiet, and coming home to yourself.

No schedules to manage. No roles to perform. Just space to breathe.

Come rest with us. 💛

Not judging… but I do wanna know why you haven’t started strength training yet 👀

Maybe you thought:
• it’s intimidating
• you’ll “start when you feel ready”
• you don’t know where to begin
• or you’re still waiting on ✨motivation✨

And honestly? Same. We’ve all been there.

But listen — 2026 energy is different.
This is the year you stop thinking about getting strong and actually do it.

Not because you want to lift heavy for fun (unless you do 😉),
but because you want to:
✔ feel confident in your body
✔ build strength that lasts
✔ walk into a gym knowing what you’re doing
✔ stop starting over every January

That’s exactly why I’m running Strength Training 101 this January —
for women who want to lift, but don’t know where to begin (or want to feel less awkward doing it).

No pressure. No gym bro energy. Just learning the basics, feeling supported, and getting strong at your own pace.

Comment “January” if you’re ready to start strong 💬💪

Karen said “why choose?” and honestly… mood.

For every woman juggling strength goals, self-care, and approximately 47 responsibilities a day—we see you.

Keep going. 💪🧘‍♀️✨

I swear I’m trying NOT to ask every woman over 40 if she’s lifting yet…

But when you see something transform women’s confidence, strength, and energy the way our strength training classes for women 40+ do

Yeah… keeping quiet isn’t happening. 😂💪

If “start strength training” is on your 2026 goals, but you are intimidated, the you should definitely message me.
