This is the online yoga and strength studio you’ve been looking for.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You have NO time to exercise: Our classes range from 10 to 50 minutes, ensuring you can fit in your strength and stretch work even with a busy schedule.

  • You struggle with back pain even though you exercise. Our classes are low-impact and core-focused, designed to help you get stronger and reduce or eliminate back pain.

  • Your hips are so tight: Smart mobility and stretching are key to releasing tight hips. Our Strength & Length classes are designed to help you improve flexibility and ease discomfort.

  • You are worried about bone loss. The importance of strength training is well-founded; we need to incorporate weight-bearing exercises into our routine. Our Longevity series guides you through adding weight-bearing exercises to support bone health safely.

  • You are unsure how to start: That's why we have the Starter Series, which walks you through our foundational program one workout at a time so you can start from the absolute beginning!

  • Your shoulders feel constantly stiff: The shoulders are the number one joint in which we lose mobility as we age. Our short, effective stretch classes can be done daily to relieve that tightness, and our Starter Program addresses shoulder mobility right from the start.

  • You practice yoga but are not getting STRONGER: Yoga poses alone might not build the strength and flexibility you need. Our classes directly target strength building with progressive exercises adaptable for all levels.

  • You take tons of fitness classes but feel the SAME: Random bouts of exercise or taking classes sporadically is not enough to build long-lasting strength and mobility. That is why our classes offer adaptable and adjustable exercises so you can build strength one workout at a time.

My Promise:

With so many yoga and fitness programs for you to choose from, I know it can be challenging to find what’s right for you.

I created The Elevate Practice because there was a NEED for the mindfulness of yoga with  the real-life benefits of progressive adaptable strength and flexibility exercises to eliminate the guesswork from your practice.

We evolved this platform as a resource for staying strong, stretched, and sane as we navigate life, with easy to follow classes that feel GOOD and keep you strong and flexible.

Inside The Elevate Practice, our monthly programming offers you a structured plan to follow which means you can think less about WHAT to do, and just get to feeling better with low impact smart exercise.

The Elevate Practice integrates the benefits of strength and flexibility training with the mindfulness of yoga.

JOIN THE ELEVATE PRACTICE

You may already know me, but if you don’t, I’m Wini Linguvic.

I am a strength coach, yoga expert, and best-selling author of BodyChange and Lean Long & Strong.

I have been teaching for 43 (omg) years and developed The Elevate Practice 

because I saw a need for a low-impact, non-stressful strength and flexibility program for women over 50.

 Women were doing a TON of random yoga and exercise classes, but there was no emphasis on building foundational core strength, mobility and flexibility.

In most “yoga classes,” there was too much abstract instruction, using words like empower and transform, and not enough progressive instruction so that you could build the strength and flexibility to actually FEEL better.

So I built The Elevate Practice- your GO TO guide for staying strong, stretched and sane.
