Yoga & Strength with Schuyler
Our co-founder closes the month with yoga and strength: twenty-five years of helping women inhabit their bodies, in one live practice. One more session lands this week (date TBD).
All month: a new podcast episode weekly, Friday Reflections, 35+ courses, and twelve resident experts answering questions in the room.
The 3am wake-ups. The stealth rage. The brain fog. The body that won't budge. You're not imagining it and you don't need more discipline. You need better information, and other women supporting you.
No one warned you this chapter would feel like starting over, alone, in the dark. It doesn't have to. Every month you leave with more than information. You leave steadier than you came in.
A name for what you're feeling.
And the science underneath it, in plain language, finally.
The clarity your 12-minute appointment never had time for.
Explained by people who actually go there, with time to answer.
An expert-built plan you can actually follow.
Rigorous, low-intervention, doable inside a real life, not a fantasy one.
Women who get it, in your corner.
In this exact chapter, this exact month. The ones you actually want to link arms with.
You are at the most interesting chapter of your life. Being in the right room changes everything.
Each month, we tackle a new topic with a course, live expert sessions, and a community of women asking the same questions, comparing notes, and moving through midlife together.
