Yoga for Menopause

Send us Fan MailOver the last decade at my yoga studio, I've witnessed thousands of clients go through menopause. Some of these women were overwhelmed with menopause symptoms, while others sailed through with minimal inconvenience. The key for the women who went through menopause with relative ease was that they learned how to manage their stress. Menopause is a significant life transition that every woman experiences, but it doesn't have to be a nightmarish rollercoaster ride. While menopause brings various physical and emotional changes, one common factor that makes symptoms even worse is stress. In this episode, I share how high cortisol levels, our body's stress hormone, can deplete the natural progesterone that keeps us calm and relaxed.
