A yogic approach to perimenopause and beyond…

Yoga is a powerful tool that can offer women support during the menopausal transition. The combination of physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation in yoga practice can help women manage or increase their tolerance of common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and fatigue.

Through regular practice, women in menopause can experience improved sleep quality, reduced stress levels, better posture, and strengthened muscles. The mindful aspect of yoga also encourages self-awareness and self-compassion, supporting women in navigating this transformation. Studies have shown that a regular yoga practice helps perimenopausal and menopausal women increase their overall feelings of wellbeing. It can also support good cardiovascular, bone and cognitive health.

So what is yoga therapy……

Yoga therapy is working one-on-one with a certified yoga therapist who is qualified to help you manage any physical or mental health issues you may be experiencing using all of the tools of yoga. During sessions you will be taught practices to manage your own health and wellbeing and these can be tweaked and changed as needed.

Working with a yoga therapist means that you learn yoga skills specific to your set of symptoms. Your program will be completely individualized and tailored to meeting you where you are right now. It will be designed to fit in with your current schedule - not just another thing to add on to the list of things you have to do!
