Struggling with stiff joints, low energy, or feeling unsure how to move your body without hurting it? You’re not alone—and in Episode 244: Aqua Yoga for Midlife Strength, we explore how the pool might just be your new best friend. I talk with Christa Fairbrother, a former farrier turned aqua yoga teacher, who shares how a painful autoimmune diagnosis changed her path—and how movement in the water gave her strength, balance, and confidence again. We go deep into why aqua yoga is one of the best low-impact workouts for midlife bodies, especially when arthritis or chronic illness makes land-based fitness feel impossible. You’ll hear how the water supports you, how balance improves quickly, and how even simple yoga poses become powerful arthritis exercises for women—no yoga experience required. We also tackle the emotional aspects: feeling exposed in a swimsuit, feeling like you’re “not a yoga person,” and how shifting your mindset can change everything. This episode is real talk for real women. It’s about showing up, trying something new, and giving yourself the chance to feel strong again. If you're looking for a smarter, more supportive way to stay strong in midlife, this episode gives you everything you need to take the first step—right in the pool.
