The Problem With Traditional Yoga

If you're over 50 and thinking about trying yoga,


you’ve probably seen the pictures:


deep stretches, advanced poses, crowded studios, and fast flows.

It looks intimidating.


It feels unsafe.


And if you’ve ever had back, hip, or knee pain … it might even feel impossible.

Here’s the truth:


Most yoga classes were not designed for bodies over 50.


Especially not bodies dealing with tightness, stiffness, or fear of injury.

And your concerns are valid.


According to Harvard Health, certain styles of yoga may increase the risk of falling or joint strain if not adapted properly.

There’s a Safer Way

At Redefined Yoga, we work with people just like you —


women who’ve “tried everything”


and are tired of feeling left behind.

Our approach focuses on what your body can do.


Not what it used to do.


And definitely not what you see on Instagram.

No deep stretching.


No risky flows.


No pushing through pain.

Instead, we offer movement based on evidence — like building strength and stability to support aging joints.


The Mayo Clinic reports that resistance-based exercise is key to maintaining mobility and independence as we age.

What Makes Redefined Yoga Different

We use a method called Functional Yoga Instruction.


It’s a safe, science-backed blend of yoga poses, strength work, and physical therapy principles.

Instead of forcing your body into shapes …


We help it function the way it was designed to.


With more stability, more mobility, and less fear.

The results?


Increased balance, confidence, and a return to everyday freedom.


Even Harvard-led studies show that gentle yoga practices can fight frailty and improve movement in older adults.

Most of our clients say the same thing:

“I wish I found this sooner.”
