Insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety... What happiness! One would almost want to go directly to the menopause stage so that it would be a closed case (although?!)
Undeniably, it is always recommended to consult a health professional who will be the only guarantor of a reliable diagnosis and adapted recommendations. However, Hormone Yoga remains a simple practice to implement to help relieve certain symptoms.
At the crossroads of Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga, the common thread of the practice consists of breathing exercises and adapted postures.
So, for example, Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana (head to knee lateral stretch) can help calm overwhelming emotions. The candle posture can help relieve stress. Marichyasana (picture on the right) to alleviate hot flashes.
So look closely at the Hormone Yoga and/or Women's Yoga sessions and give the practice a try. Adjust the intensity and frequency to suit your needs. Every woman is unique! One guarantee is that your body and mind will thank you in concert!
Take care of yourself,
Namaste
