Perimenopause and Menopause Yoga

Menopause Yoga helps you to find relief from hot flashes, brain fog, sleepless nights, and more.

In Menopause Yoga, I guide you through simple yoga poses, breathing techniques, and meditation to bring calm, restore restful sleep, and support your body’s needs during peri-menopause and menopause.

We explore different topics, including common symptoms like anxiety, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, and lack of focus.

My approach combines the wisdom of yoga, healthy food, and lifestyle that move you towards health and vitality.

Yoga + Lifestyle

How Can Menopause Yoga Help?

  • Stop Hot Flashes: Learn breathing techniques to slow down or stop hot flashes in their tracks.

  • Improve Sleep: Practice poses that release heat and prepare your body for better sleep.

  • Gain Clarity: Use meditation to ease worry and regain focus when brain fog hits.

  • Boost Energy: Move your body in a way that restores energy instead of draining it.

What Menopause Yoga is, and what it isn’t.

  • No pretzel poses here! Our focus is on gentle, soothing movements that relieve tension, increase flexibility, and calm the mind.

  • It’s not a competition. It’s about connecting with your body, not comparing yourself to others.

  • This isn’t a workout. It’s about balance—moving in ways that support hormone health and well-being.

  • It’s not strict! This is a playful, self-nourishing practice, with space to grow at your own pace.

Whether you're using hormone therapy or not, Menopause Yoga can support your journey and help you feel grounded, balanced, and empowered.

Who Is This For?

Open to all women—whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause.

No prior yoga experience is required. If you’re ready to feel more in control of your body and embrace this stage of life, this is for you!

What to Expect:

  • Gentle Yoga to support hormone health, ease muscle tension, and increase flexibility.

  • Moving Meditation that helps you calm the mind while keeping the body engaged.

  • Breathing Techniques to reduce stress and boost energy.

  • Optional Journaling for reflection and deeper self-connection.
