WHAT IS BACK OFF THE BENCH?
(SOUND ON!)
I'm Arielle Castillo, and I’ve had a TON of busy, professional soccer (or football!) fans like you -- who know me from my work in the sport -- reach out to me asking for my help with physical and mental well-being.
So after a bunch of these requests, I had the idea to build a step-by-step system to move you from feeling too old for your time, to crushing the game of your life, in 12 WEEKS (plus three bonus months of group classes... read on!).
No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from stiff, sore, and sidelined to fitter, better, faster, stronger.
The best part? It all fits into your busy schedule -- for real!
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN, IF ACCEPTED TO MY SQUAD…
💪 FIRST AND FOREMOST, LOTS OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
This program is NOT for people who buy something, log in once, and never follow through for themselves. As your coach, I and my assistant coaches are here to help you succeed, as part of our team!
As such, the program includes combination of self-paced course material, live group classes, and MVP one-on-one check-in sessions, totally tailored to you — to make sure you keep your promises to yourself!
👉 SECOND, everything starts with the self-paced, 12-week Back off the Bench course, a step-by-step guide -- a series of videos and journaling exercises and feedback forms -- to make yoga, mobility work, and meditation a firm foundational block in your physical and mental routine.
👉 The Challenge follows the Halftime Yoga Game Plan, which is a unique system to break yoga, mobility, and meditation work down into a way that works without the confusing woo-woo.
Master the four-step method of the Warm-Up, the Attack, the Defense, and the Final Whistle, all working together to keep yourself match-ready, in 15 minutes a day – the equivalent of a halftime!
Beyond the self-paced, 12-week playbook, you’ll also get all of this awesome live activity… and some real-life tools as part of your welcome package:
✅ TWO VIRTUAL 1:1 SESSIONS WITH JUST YOU AND YOUR COACH, to troubleshoot your program, break through roadblocks, and make a plan to address YOUR goals, needs, and desires
✅ Three months of weekly live and recorded full-length yoga and meditation classes to smash your goals with the rest of the MVP squad -- and access to recordings if you can’t make it live, so you can enjoy and practice on your OWN TIME.
✅ A real-life welcome kit sent to your door, with everything you’ll need to complete your practices: a Halftime Yoga mat, massage balls, yoga blocks, a foam roller, and a yoga belt — all amazing stretching and myofascial release tools we use live and in the recordings.
✅ A 12-week PDF playbook for each video lesson, with quick visual guides to the postures and techniques for strength and focus
✅ Accountability community group chat so you don’t quit until you reach the final whistle
✅ Awesome guest teachers and speakers, from music legends to pros who have played for some of the biggest prizes in sports!
✅ Plant-based recipe e-book to fuel your work by adding the good stuff (and not taking anything away)
✅ INSTANT, FREE access to my previously recorded subscriber courses, Halftime Yoga: the Academy, and Eight Weeks to Better Sleep!

MEET YOUR COACH, ARIELLE CASTILLO
Arielle, a Yoga Alliance-registered E-RYT 200, RYT-500 teacher, has helped dozens of over-scheduled soccer (or football, depending on where you are!) fans like you get back off the sidelines of their own lives.
Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness tools are for every BODY.
Forget all the airbrushed, rail-thin young women and exclusive, confusing terminology that typify yoga’s image on social media. You’re never too stiff, old, or out of practice to reap instant benefits — from the comfort of wherever you are in the world!
I strongly believe yoga’s tools can enhance everyone's physical, mental, and spiritual health — wherever you are in the game of life.
