Menopause is an invitation to get to know yourself better and upgrade your physical, mental and emotional self to the best version possible. ~~~ Noelle Segal
Yoga is a tool we can use to understand and manage the typical symptoms associated with menopause and after menopause such as stress, physical pain, mood swings or trouble sleeping. As women transition through menopause they may need different yoga practices in different moments. There is Yoga for rest and restoration, yoga to release tension and yoga to re-energize ,rebuild strength and bone density. Part of a woman’s’ journey through menopause is becoming better acquainted with her body and fine tuning her intuitive skills so it is easier to understand clearer what she needs when.
As well as improving the physical challenges that menopause brings, yoga can also reduce emotional symptoms such as stress, anxiety and overwhelm. For example restorative yoga is very calming for the nervous system as you stay in a pose for 5-10 minutes, held and supported by the props around you. Yoga Nidra ,yin yoga and Sound Healing can help to calm the mind and improve the quality of sleep, especially if you have a tendency to wake up in the night and struggle to fall back to sleep.
There are many different ways Yoga can be supportive through Menopause and also any other big transitions and changes that life throws at you. Yoga can also support with other symptoms that are also associated with getting older in general, such as muscle loss or degeneration of joints and mobility
WHY DO YOGA IN MENOPAUSE?
Yoga for menopause offers guidance far beyond just physical yoga. It can also offer psychological and emotional support for symptoms that arise during menopause. Research shows that one of the triggers for increased menopause symptoms is stress, this can be both internal and external stress factors. Yoga is proven to reduce stress levels, bring us into the calming parasympathetic nervous system, and balance the hormones. Yoga is a combination of yoga breathing, yoga practices and yoga meditation, and all these combine to calm our nervous system. We live in a modern-westernized world that is constantly stimulating us, and this is the main reason yoga is an important tool through menopause. Yoga helps us to navigate the menopause symptoms, it slows down our system, and helps us listen to our body as we go through transition and change. Yoga helps us learn how to deeply rest, to understand how to move in ways that boost our physical, mental and emotional health, and also how to listen to our intuition more.
Yoga for menopause can:
- Reduce stress and calm the nervous system.
- Relieve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, joint and muscle aches.
- Release physical stress and tension.
- Balance your moods and emotions, such as depression and anxiety.
- Restore energy that can be caused by insomnia and fatigue.
- Boost and invigorate slow metabolism and boost heart health.
- Strengthen muscles and build bone density.
5 ways Yoga helps as you get older:
- Strengthen bones –this is a big one for women going through menopause as estrogen levels reduce and bones weaken . Building strength, introducing body weight exercises, along with some impact can increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.
- Joint flexibility –As we age often our joints get stiffer and some might develop arthritic symptoms. Doing regular yoga and movement helps the joints stay mobile, flexible and nourished.
- Weight control –As our hormones adapt through menopause we may find we are holding weight in new areas! As you move, strengthen and gain muscle, your body begins to burn calories easier, thereby making weight more manageable.
- Improved balance –Stronger legs and mobility can improve balance even as you age. This reduces falls and injuries.

Harvest Full Moon Restorative Yoga
Tuesday September 17th at 6:30pm to 7:30pm
Please register online or call 941-702-0072
The spiritual meaning of the Harvest Moon is that it symbolizes a time of abundance, gratitude, and reflection, as well as providing an opportunity for spiritual growth and transformation. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Its bright light provided extra time for farmers to harvest their crops, and it also marked the transition from the energetic and active summer season to the more introspective and restorative autumn season. In essence, the spiritual meaning of the Harvest Moon extends beyond its agricultural importance, and serves as a reminder to practice gratitude for the abundance in our lives, while also prompting us to turn inwards and focus on personal growth and transformation. As we move into the cooler and darker months, the Harvest Moon presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on our lives, set intentions, and embrace the changes that come with the shifting of seasons.
This class is for all levels
