A dear friend was telling me how well and balanced she is feeling now that she has entered her menopause. She feels that with the lack of libidinal pressure she actually enjoys her femininity much more making conscious choices and connecting with herself with much more awareness and compassion.
Now with the different perception of aging as we are staying active well beyond our 60ies, women could spend close half of their life time in perimenopause and menopause. It would be a shame not to use the powerful yogic tools in alleviating the negative effects of this phase of our lives.
For a very long period my clientele were men and women who were most likely in their first half of their life-time. Being their peers, I worked mostly with issues related to our "hormonal age" in those periods of life. Now I am enjoying a bigger diversity of different age groups which also gives me the possibility to dive deeper into my studies of modern research and esoteric knowledge accordingly.
This yoga program will help with ridding yourself from some unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, dizziness, depressive tendencies, fatigue, lack of concentration. It will support your body to adjust to the hormonal changes during perimenopause or menopause. A regular practice may even help you to avoid an external intervention with hormonal replacement treatment.
I like keeping my programs on the platform short and sweet but feel free to spoil yourself with longer stay in restorative poses. Even for the ones who are very physical and used to exert themselves; I invite you all to relax into a more restorative practice once or twice a week for this specific purpose.
