Level Up With Yoga & Weights

If you’ve been practicing yoga for years and are ready to build more functional strength into your routine, this program is designed precisely for that next step. Master teacher Amy Ippoliti—who was truly ahead of her time when she created Glo’s beloved Lift Your Practice yoga-with-weights program—returns with a fresh, progressive series that blends intelligent sequencing with evidence-informed strength training. This three-class program is an invitation to explore lifting heavier weights as one of the most effective ways to build and maintain muscle, support healthy aging, and stay strong for the long run. If “lifting heavy” feels new or even a little intimidating this program will give you a thoughtful, yoga-informed way to approach it. Each class blends straightforward strength training with yoga and mobility woven into the rest between sets. Instead of standing around waiting for your heart rate to come down, we use familiar yoga postures to support recovery, keep joints moving well, and help regulate the nervous system. The program includes: Total Body Strength Training, Upper Body Strength, and Training Leg Day You can take these classes in any order, depending on what your body needs. We encourage pairing the Total Body and Upper Body classes on consecutive days, while giving Leg Day a little more space — perhaps padding with a rest or recovery-focused practice in between. “Heavy” is always relative. You’re encouraged to work with the weights you have, choose options that feel right for your body, and build gradually over time. These classes work well at home with a small set of dumbbells, and they also translate easily to a gym or hotel gym if you’d like access to a wider range of weights. This program isn’t about pushing or proving anything. It’s about meeting strength training with the same awareness you bring to your yoga practice and discovering how lifting heavier, resting well, and moving intentionally can support you both now and as you age.
