Women’s Wellness:Yoga for Menopause
Thanks to hormones and hot flushes, yoga for menopause is all about staying cool, calm, and connected. Keeping our nervous system balanced and using the practices of yoga to maintain strength without overheating the body. So it’s best to stay away from practices such as hot yoga or Bikram and instead lean into slow flow or hatha yoga classes which help to build muscle mass and increase bone density. However, even in menopause, yoga is not a one size fits all! Restorative or yin yoga is ideal for women experiencing anxiety, mood swings or fatigue.

We can shake off the more yin and restorative nature of winter to embrace the dynamic yang energy of moving towards spring with yoga practice tailored towards the nature’s rhythm.
