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.

"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.”
