Improve your ability to get up & down from the floor
Practice real-life movement that supports your body over time
Feel more confident and capable in your body
Future you will be so glad you practiced this.
Most people wait until getting up and down from the floor becomes a problem. You don’t have to.
About this class
Getting up and down from the floor is something many people stop doing without realizing it...and then they start losing the ability.
And it often happens much earlier than you’d expect.
In this class, we'll start with a simple assessment called the Sit-to-Rise Test that looks at how easily you can get down to the floor and back up. Your score is based on how much support you need along the way, and research has linked this ability to overall health and longevity.
Then we'll practice a variety of joint-freeing movement to warm up and help your body feel more open and ready to move.
Finally, we’ll practice getting up and down in different ways, building strength, balance, and coordination as we go.
You’ll walk away with simple, realistic ways to keep practicing this in your everyday life so you can move with more ease and stay independent for as long as possible!

What they're saying...
"I had wanted to try yoga for many years and finally did it. I’m 76 years old and learned so much from Mikah that I can do the poses and breathing exercises in my own home. I had a knee replacement a year ago and wasn’t sure I could do the poses. She showed me ways to do it so as not to hurt my knee. Mikah has a soft, soothing voice that actually puts me at ease."
Pat B.
"As a yoga therapist, Mikah has advanced training in helping people with arthritis, joint replacements, osteoporosis, and other barriers to yoga, to actually practice. She can help you achieve your goals like getting on and off the ground to play with your grandkids and preventing falls with better balance."
Christa F.
"Mikah is is extremely patient and makes you feel as if you are the only student she has. No judgment and always helpful and upbeat. Can’t say enough positive things about Mikah and her style of teaching."
Rose T.
"I took Mikah's beginner class last September and it was great. I had always wanted to try yoga but since I am not the most flexible or in shape person and I didn’t know how to do the poses, I was too intimidated, but Mikah goes slow and explains everything. Very inviting and not intimidating at all."
Margi C.
"I have just finished a six-week beginner series with Mikah. I am so grateful that I did. What a difference it made in the way I feel. I had back surgery years ago and was taking a lot of pain meds due to the pain. I also had been having trouble with my right knee. The pain was getting so unbearable. After the yoga series, the pain was gone and I'm off meds now."
Donna S.
"Mikah helps you where you are. I have been hip and knee pain free for two years due to her instruction. If you are on the fence about yoga I can assure you walking without pain or medicine is totally wonderful. Thank you, Mikah."
Phyllis R.
"This is the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long while. Although I am regularly active, I sensed that my core and balance had diminished somewhat in the past few years. Mikah’s yoga classes help with core and muscle strength, balance, range of motion and more."
Linda R.
Meet Mikah, your yoga teacher
M.S. in Yoga Therapy, ACE Senior Fitness Specialist
I’m a yoga therapist and senior fitness specialist, and I teach yoga a little differently.
Many of my students come to me after being told by a doctor or physical therapist that yoga would help... only to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or even injured in a class that wasn’t designed for their body at this stage of life.
That’s why my work focuses on yoga for healthy, vibrant aging.
I teach yoga therapeutically, which means I think about: Joint health, balance and fall prevention, strength that supports daily life, and posture and long-term mobility.
This series is about helping you experience what intentional, longevity-focused yoga actually feels like, so you can move with more confidence now and for years to come.
