Final week and I can now lower in pistol squat to my Feetup yoga stool  (and more importantly get back up again)... When I started the program I was struggling to lower to a chair so I am very pleased with my progress even if I am still quite a way from full pistol squat. As a 62 year old yoga teacher, gaining more strength in my yoga poses by following the SFY program is really improving my ease and enjoyment of teaching. Thanks to both of you, Jenni and Travis, I love the format and inspiration of your Strength for Yoga program

Thank you SO MUCH for this program!!! I've seriously learned SO much. I've learned how to use weights, how to increase weights, and how to structure workouts. I've learned what I actually like working on and how to specify muscles groups for specific things I’m training. I can’t thank you enough for opening doors for me and introducing me into this world of weights and strength.

Have been happily going along with SFY and it has been a game changer! Been buying new kettlebells each month now, haha. Apart from feeling stronger in my body, physically and mentally, my biggest plus has been that I don't need as much warmup in my yoga practice and teaching many yoga classes has become less of a burden for my body(!). Especially my wrists are finally staying happy with teaching arm balancing focused classes, I guess in large part due to improved grip strength. Anyway, I've been really enjoying this month - best so far!

I'm two days into the first week of the hip opener program and I think it's my favorite since joining SFY (with crow pose specialization a close second; I am rocking a more sturdy crow in my yoga practice thanks to you both!). I'm finding the warm ups and super sets really different and enjoyable. With my dance background, I was definitely of the mind that to open the hips more I had to stretch (forever). I had no idea this was strength related. I continue to enjoy this program because I keep finding new ways to feel empowered and strong. Thanks so much.

Strength for Yoga has changed not only my body but my mindset on movement. I have received so many new insights from Jenni and Travis, and I can't believe how quickly I am seeing strength gains! Doing this program for only a few months has already noticeably enhanced my yoga practice and my daily life. This program is exactly what I need!

I’m on my second go-through of the program so have been doing these, and yesterday I finally installed a “power tower” so I could practice actual pull-ups. I tried one for the first time and can actually do one full pull-up!!! Wasn’t sure how it was gonna go but I’m so excited to progress them and it’s definitely all thanks to your program.

I am loving this program so far! I just finished my third week, and I am already noticing a difference on the mat. I feel stronger already, which is very empowering. As a longtime yogi, this is my first time working on strength training and using weights like this. This program has me looking at strength training in a whole new way.  I really never imagined I would enjoy it, but I do!

Sara A.

Yoga Teacher - Michigan

The SFY program is very easy to follow, and I love the links to the video tutorials. I feel strong in some exercises and almost beginner in others (helloooo pull-ups)! I currently teach 14 yoga classes a week, so I was a little worried I’d tire myself out or get too sore to teach, but I’ve found a happy place with it all. I know SFY is helping me personally, but also to be a better guide to my yoga community (11-95 years olds!)

A few weeks ago I started adding some strength training into my movement with Strength for Yoga. It’s not something I’ve done much of before because I’ve felt like I don’t know what I’m doing, and worried about hurting myself. My body seems to be becoming more resilient and I feel generally more capable in life on the daily. I’ve also been pleasantly surprised at how fun I’m finding it! The instruction is so clear in this program.

I am absolutely LOVING the program! I've only been a part of this group for less than a month and I'm almost finding it hard to believe how much stronger I feel (even though I was only doing 2x/week combined with yoga until this week - I’ve increased that to 3x because I feel so good after). Thank you again for coming up with such a fantastic program, it's a real treat. After a few months of sedentary life and pandemic lethargy, I didn't think I’d have the urge to get going with exercise again so quickly!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A: No, the workouts in Remote Group Training are not follow-along. Instead, we provide short video tutorials of every exercise. After watching the tutorials, you complete the prescribed number of sets and reps at your own pace. We do have separate 5-week follow-along programs, though!

  • No, Remote Group Training is NOT yoga with added resistance. It’s a strength training program designed to supplement a yoga practice. However, membership in Remote Group Training does include full access to Jenni Rawlings’ online yoga class library! In addition, each training program also includes a short warm-up yoga flow. 

  • We offer two membership options. You can pay on a recurring monthly basis or recurring yearly basis (and save 10%). You can cancel either plan any time.

  • Yes, Remote Group Training is appropriate for beginners. We provide all the background information you need to get started with strength training, along with exercise options to meet you at your current strength level. That said, we do assume competence with basic movement patterns that are common in yoga like Chair Pose, Plank Pose, and Halfway Lift.

  • Yes, the training program requires one resistance band (a ½-inch superband) and two kettlebells or dumbbells. We recommend one lighter kettlebell/dumbbell that you can press overhead 10 times (10-20 lbs for women and 20-30 lbs for men) and one heavier kettlebell/dumbbell that you can’t press overhead (30-50 lbs for women and 50-70 lbs for men). The program also includes exercise options using other equipment you may have access to, such as yoga blocks, a yoga blanket or furniture sliders, a pull-up bar, a workout bench, and a barbell. But again, the only required implements are two kettlebells and a resistance band.

  • No, the equipment does NOT come with the membership. It must be purchased separately.

  • You can choose a 2 day/week or 3 day/week program. It’s best to perform the training sessions on non-consecutive days (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday).

  • The workouts are about one hour, give or take 15 minutes depending on rest periods and transitions between exercises.

  • Yes. Since Remote Group Training is only 2 or 3 days/week, that leaves several days open for other physical activities of your choice as well as rest days.

  • The monthly training program will be available on the Strength for Yoga member portal (through JenniRawlings.com) as well as through an interactive spreadsheet app (compatible with mobile) that enables you to track your progress. If you prefer hard copy, you’re welcome to print the spreadsheets.

  • Yes, every exercise in the training program has an accompanying video tutorial. These video tutorials are accessible through the member portal (on JenniRawlings.com) and linked within the interactive spreadsheets.

  • Yes. We have a section of the community forum dedicated to form feedback. All you have to do is upload a video of yourself performing the exercise, and we’ll make sure your form is safe and effective.

  • Only the current month’s program will be available. However, the comprehensive exercise database will include access to all of the exercises in the archive (>400 videos!).

  • New training phases will start on the 1st of every month.

  • No, this program is suitable for people of all genders.

  • This program is suitable for adults of all ages, with no upper limit. It’s never too late to build strength!

  • Yes, Remote Group Training is suitable for non-yogis, too. With that said, the exercises in the program are most specific to the movement demands of yoga.
