A new year often arrives with tight muscles, low energy, and the desire to finally feel better in your body, but not always the clarity on where to begin. In this episode, yoga therapist Mikah Horn simplifies the process with a realistic, sustainable plan you can follow from home. You’ll learn the five pillars of movement longevity and how to weave them into short, doable practices that truly support healthy, vibrant aging.

This isn’t the “perfect routine” or the “new year, new you” version of yoga. It’s the grounded, compassionate approach that actually works, especially for aging bodies seeking ease, strength, balance, freedom, and confidence.

Whether you're brand new to yoga or returning after time away, this episode offers a clear path forward for 2026.
