Core workouts aren’t just about abs… especially as we get older.

This sequence uses the yoga trapeze to safely build:
✔️ core strength
✔️ upper body stability
✔️ spinal support

It’s one of my favorite ways to feel strong without straining my joints.

Watch the full sequence on YouTube (link in the comments).

If you try it, let me know which exercise feels the most powerful for you 💛

This is what my mornings actually look like lately…

No perfect routine.
No workout outfit.
This is my practice.

Just me, in a bathrobe, waiting for my coffee…
moving my spine a little to awaken it for the upcoming day.

It’s simple.
But it makes a huge difference.

If your body has been asking for something gentler—this might be it.

💛 Save this and try it tomorrow

54 today.
I decided to challenge myself to astavakrasana pose to see if I can still lift off even without the aerial hammock. Astavakrasana, or Eight-Angle Pose, is one of my favorite arm balances although I haven’t practiced it for a while.

Just like Astavakrasana, strength in midlife isn’t about forcing or pushing harder. It’s about connection, integration, consistency, trusting and listening to your body.

If you’re rebuilding strength in midlife, you’re not behind—you’re right on time.

Stay in the practice.

After a long day on the computer, does your body feel… compressed?

Rounded shoulders, tight neck, upper back tension—it adds up quickly when we spend hours sitting and leaning forward.

This gentle yoga trapeze locust variation is one of my favorite ways to reset:

✨ Open the chest
✨ Strengthen the upper back
✨ Create space in the spine
✨ Breathe deeper again

It’s simple, supportive, and honestly feels a little like floating 🍀

If you’ve been at your desk all day, your body needs the opposite of that shape.

Have you noticed how your posture feels by the end of the day?

How to Set Up a Portable Aerial Yoga Rig at Home (Step-by-Step)

Can you practice yoga trapeze at home?

Yes — and you don’t even need ceiling beams.

Portable aerial rigs make it possible to safely practice inversions, spinal decompression, and mobility work at home.

I filmed the full step-by-step assembly process so you can see exactly how it works.

Watch the full video on my YouTube channel (see comments).

Follow for more midlife mobility and yoga trapeze guidance.

Spinal decompression for women over 40.

Repetitive loading compresses the lumbar spine and tightens hip flexors.

Inversion in a yoga trapeze:
✔️ Creates space between vertebrae
✔️ Reduces disc pressure
✔️ Releases psoas tension
✔️ Improves circulation

This is how I recover after heavy weeks.

Midlife strength isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about intentional decompression.

Would you try this?

Not everything that builds strength looks intense.

Sometimes it looks like listening.
Like slowing down.
Like moving in a way your body trusts.

This is the beginning of The Function of Pleasure™.

If your nervous system softened, you’re in the right place.

🌹 Regulate • Organize • Sensitize • Embody

Strong toes = better balance & fewer falls! 👣💪
Research from Victoria University in Australia shows that toe strength is a strong predictor of future falls — even more than many other common risk factors in older adults. Their studies found that targeted toe-strengthening exercises can boost foot strength, improve balance, and support overall foot health — which can make all the difference in stability and movement quality as we age.

That’s exactly why this release + activation combo with two Pilates balls — focusing on your toes & hip flexors — isn’t just soothing, it’s functional. When your feet are more aware and strong, your whole body moves with more confidence and balance. ✨

Keep those toes working and anchoring you from the ground up! 👣
