Yoga for Menopause

Supporting Women on Their Menopause Journey

Find your Balance, Strength & Grace in This New Phase of Life

You’ve Cared for Everyone Now it’s Time to Care for You

At My Yoga Vibe, we understand that menopause isn’t just a biological transition — it’s a deeply personal journey that affects every aspect of your well-being. Our Menopause Wellness Program is thoughtfully designed to help women move through hormonal changes with Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Mindful Low-Impact HIIT, so you can feel strong, calm, and confident again.

You’re Not Alone in This Transition

Menopause is experienced by over 1 billion women globally (WHO, 2023), and nearly 75% report experiencing symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, and joint pain (Harvard Health Publishing, 2022).

Do any of these sound familiar?

You’re not broken — your body is rebalancing. The right kind of movement helps you adapt with strength and grace.

“Menopause is a time when the body needs support — not stress.” — Shweta, Women’s Wellness Coach

That’s why our classes focus on low-impact but powerful practices that regulate hormones, build lean strength, and calm the nervous system — creating harmony from within.

Our Yoga Practice • Mat Pilates • Gentle HIIT

Every class is designed to work with your hormones — not against them.

Yoga

Yoga has been clinically shown to reduce hot flashes and improve mood in menopausal women (NCBI, 2021).

  • 🛌 Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana): Relieves hot flashes & supports sleep

Low-Impact HIIT Elements

Short bursts of rhythmic movement (40–60 sec) with rest intervals — ideal for midlife women.

Benefits:

  • Boosts energy, heart health & metabolism
  • Supports insulin balance (reduces belly fat)
  • Releases endorphins to improve mood
  • Strengthens bones without joint strain

Real-Time Example: A 2022 Menopause journal study found that low-impact interval training 3x/week improved insulin sensitivity and reduced central adiposity in perimenopausal women.

Mat Pilates

Focuses on core, back, and pelvic muscles — areas that weaken during menopause.

Benefits:

  • Supports joint stability, posture, and muscle tone
  • Helps with pelvic dysfunction or incontinence
  • Reduces lower back pain
  • Improves balance & coordination

Common Movements:

  • Leg circles & bridges for pelvic strength
  • Rolling like a ball for spinal mobility
  • Gentle plank variations for core activation

Breathwork & Relaxation

Hormonal changes can dysregulate the nervous system, leading to anxiety, irritability, and fatigue.

Techniques We Teach:

  • 🌿 Sheetali (Cooling Breath): Reduces hot flashes & calms the body
  • 🐝 Bhramari (Humming Breath): Lowers anxiety & soothes the mind
  • 🌬️ Diaphragmatic Breathing: Improves oxygen flow & hormonal balance

💤 Savasana for Deep Rest

Savasana helps lower cortisol, balance melatonin, and enhance sleep quality — especially useful for women who face insomnia during menopause. Practiced before bed, it trains the body to release tension and enter restorative rest.
