Build real upper-body strength, core power and shoulder stability. Work towards arm balances, inversions and advanced transitions, step by step.
The programme
Get Stronger is an 8-week progressive yoga strength programme for students who already move well and want to develop real strength, control and confidence.
Every week introduces progressively more demanding movements, helping you build the foundations for arm balances, inversions and powerful transitions without rushing the process. The emphasis isn't on achieving advanced poses as quickly as possible. It's on becoming a stronger, more capable mover.
What you get
Every element of the programme is chosen because it moves you forward.
Each strength session is up to 10 minutes, focused and progressive. Short enough to fit into any day, demanding enough to build real results over 8 weeks.
A downloadable resource each week with the strength focus, key principles, movement breakdowns and guidance for your off-mat practice.
Every Week, 45 to 60 minutes. Review the week's skills, practice together, get form feedback and prepare for what's coming. Replays available.
A private group for your cohort. Share wins, ask questions about form and technique, celebrate your first lift-off. The group stays active after graduation.
Private 15-minute session with Stéphanie to review your strength progress, adjust your practice and keep you moving in the right direction.
Your personal dashboard tracks session completion, skill milestones and reflections across the 8 weeks. Watch yourself get stronger, week by week.
The journey
This isn't a collection of strength exercises. It's a journey from "I can't do that" to "I can't believe I just did that."
Strong roots. Strong practice.
Establish baseline strength, learn key positions for upper-body work, and begin conditioning your wrists and shoulders for what's ahead. You'll discover exactly where you are, and feel the work starting immediately.
Push the ground away.
Develop the pushing strength in chest, shoulders and triceps that every arm balance and transition demands. Chaturanga progressions, shoulder endurance and supported weight-bearing. Your upper body starts to understand what it's capable of.
Everything starts here.
Deep core activation, plank family progressions, side body and obliques. Not the crunching kind of core strength. The kind that keeps you stable when you're upside down, or balanced on your hands for the first time.
Build the platform.
Rotator cuff conditioning, shoulder girdle strength, overhead stability. This is the week that makes arm balances and inversions safe. You'll feel the difference in how your shoulders hold weight, and how much more confident you feel in them.
Take flight, safely.
Weight-bearing drills, hip placement for arm balances, wrist loading progressions. Crow preparation begins in earnest. You'll get closer than you expected, because the previous four weeks have been building exactly this.
You're going to surprise yourself.
Crow, Side Crow, drills and full attempts. Everything in the previous five weeks has led to this. Not everyone lifts off in Week 6, but every student gets further than they managed in Week 5, and that's what counts.
Your body can do more than you think.
Headstand preparation, Flying Pigeon prep, Firefly prep, strong Chaturanga, advanced transitions. The week where things that seemed impossible start to feel probable. The voice that said "I can't do that" goes quiet.
Look how far you've come.
Full strength sequences, skill consolidation, graduation practice. You look back at the person who started Week 1 and see someone different. Stronger, more controlled, more capable. The programme ends. The practice doesn't.
The transformation
This isn't about hitting poses. It's about becoming a different kind of mover, one week at a time.
After Week 8
Get Stronger opens new possibilities. You're stronger, more capable, and you've proven to yourself that advanced yoga skills are within reach.
Who it's for
You have the movement foundations. You know how your body works. Now you want to build real strength on top of that base.
Crow, Side Crow, inversions, advanced transitions. You want the actual skills, approached safely and progressively, not forced.
You don't want gentle. You want demanding, progressive, honest work that shows you what your body is actually capable of.
Not gym-strength. Yoga-strength. The kind that makes you move better, stand taller, and feel capable in daily life, not just on the mat.
Without a programme, you'll practice what you're already good at. Get Stronger keeps you moving forward week by week, whether you feel like it or not.
Why arm balances require specific preparation. What makes inversions safe. How to build towards advanced skills without hurting yourself.

FAQ
Get Stronger is designed for people who already move well and have solid foundations. Move Better is the recommended starting point, but if you've been practising yoga regularly for a year or more and feel confident in your movement foundations, you may be ready. Not sure?

It's genuinely challenging, and it's meant to be. The sessions are short (up to 10 minutes) but focused and progressive. Each week builds on the last, and by Week 5 you'll be doing things that weren't possible in Week 1. That said, everything is taught with progressions so you work at the level that's right for you.
Five sessions of up to 10 minutes each, plus the Weekly live session (45 to 60 minutes) and your private check-ins (15 minutes each). Roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours per week in total. Designed to fit into a real life.
Not necessarily, and that's not the goal. The goal is to build the strength, stability and technique that make arm balances possible for your body. Some students lift off in Week 6. Others get their first balance after the programme ends, with the foundations firmly in place. Progress is guaranteed. A specific pose in 8 weeks is not.
A yoga mat is the only essential. Blocks are helpful, particularly for arm balance preparation, but not required. No gym equipment needed.
