Yoga therapy & perimenopause
Necessity being the mother of invention led me to use my yoga therapy background to navigate perimenopause. I was having a rough ride with insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, hair loss and more. I knew that many of the women I was working with were experiencing similarly difficult situations even though our symptoms were wildly varied and different. I was also struggling to find good care at the time- Doctors experienced in menopause care are incredibly rare beasts. Elektra Health estimates that there is 1 menopause specialist for every 32,556 US women aged 35-64.
Knowing that there is good scientific evidence to support the fact that yoga can help support good mental and physical health I designed a course of lessons to help myself and other women manage their own perimenopausal symptoms. It includes movement, breathing and meditation to help with a range of issues women commonly face at this transitional time of life. Although yoga isn’t a magic wand and can’t replace other treatments it can help you befriend the array of feelings that you might experience at what can be a tumultuous time for many.
