Menopause Yoga
What is Menopause Yoga?
Menopause Yoga* aims to educate women about what is happening in their body during the natural transition from perimenopause through to menopause and beyond. It empowers them with practical tools to help deal with symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, overwhelm, sleeplessness, fatigue, mood swings and low mood.
We work with gentle movement, restorative poses, breathing techniques, meditation and affirmations that are specifically aimed at managing menopause symptoms, whilst encouraging women to embrace this transition with confidence and a sense of positivity around the natural changes that are taking place.

Moving through Menopause towards ‘Second Spring’ with Strength and Positivity
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, post-menopause is viewed as a culmination of wisdom and an opportunity to blossom into ‘Second Spring’. We will focus on how yoga can help to develop strength and empowerment and become an uplifting force as we move into the post menopause phase of life. You’ll learn breathing techniques and practical tools and be guided through a Menopause Yoga practice specially designed to support you physically and emotionally.
This will be a small group in an intimate setting with plenty of opportunity to connect with others and share your experience as we explore how to move into life post-menopause with greater ease and confidence, making way for a fulfilling and creative Second Spring.
Cost £50, all levels welcome. Contact Rachael to book.
"A truly nurturing workshop. I didn’t realise how much I needed that time for myself…Being with others who understood the menopause journey felt incredibly comforting, and the yoga was deeply restorative and thoughtfully guided. I’d definitely come back.”
(feedback from a recent workshop)
“Menopause is more than a hormonal shift. It is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual transition that affects a woman’s body, mind, emotions and sense of self.”
