As we age, maintaining muscle strength becomes increasingly crucial for our overall health and vitality. Starting as early as our 30s, we begin losing muscle mass naturally – a process that accelerates after 50. This loss affects everything from our metabolism and bone density to our immune function and cognitive performance.
But here’s the good news: yoga offers a unique and highly effective approach to building and maintaining strength that goes far beyond traditional exercise methods. In this innovative course, Lynn Crimando brings her expertise and engaging teaching style to show you how yoga can transform strength-building from a tedious task into a fascinating exploration of your body’s capabilities.
How This Course Is Different
Lynn’s approach stands out because she understands that sustainable strength-building isn’t just about the muscles – it’s about creating a mind-body connection that makes the process both enjoyable and effective. Through her guidance, you’ll discover:
– How yoga’s whole-body approach creates functional strength that translates directly to daily activities
– Ways to modify practices to match your current ability while progressively building strength
– The unique benefits of yoga-based strength training, including improved balance, flexibility, and mental focus
– How to make strength-building an engaging journey rather than a repetitive chore
With Lynn’s expert guidance, learn how to creatively vary progressive resistance training methods to build strength from the ground up, using progressive load to develop lean muscle, improve stability, and increase your body’s neuromuscular efficiency—all while staying safe and motivated.
Starting from the least resistance and gradually adding more over time, you’ll challenge your muscles to grow in a way that’s sustainable and safe. Through varied methods of resistance, we’ll help you develop functional strength that supports daily activities, enhances mobility, and helps maintain balance and coordination as you age.
In this course, we’ll focus on the glutes, core, upper body, and full-body coordination to:
- Build lean muscle with progressive resistance techniques.
- Improve strength and stability through mindful, functional movement.
- Create a strong, toned body that moves efficiently and pain-free.
