If any of these resonate for you, you could be on the cusp of (or deep in) perimenopause. About half of the population will move through this chapter and into menopause. Often, it arrives quietly, gradually…until one day we realize we’re in the midst of it.
The changes can touch every part of us—body, mind, and spirit—bringing waves of anxiety, restless nights, shifts in identity, loss of resilience, and a collection of sensations we can’t quite explain.
Yoga invites us to honor, embrace, and practice transition itself. In this course, we’ll explore how to meet these changes with steadiness, finding our center even as everything around and within us is in motion.
Over three weeks, we’ll explore how yoga can support you through perimenopause—restoring stability, building strength, and creating a sustainable path forward.
Introduction
We’ll begin by looking at the unique transitions of this stage of life and introduce a simple daily practice you can carry into our time together—and beyond.
Week 1 • Stability
We'll explore the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that can happen during this stage of life. It can feel like a roller coast, with wild mood swings, erratic sleep, and unpredictable energy.
In perimenopause, big shifts are happening in hormone levels that ripple into our entire physiology. We can restore a sense of stability through simple routines. Dinacharya practices in the morning can support steadier cortisol levels, and evening Ritucharya practices can support more balanced rest. We'll also explore physical stability, starting with the foundation of our feet and exploring balance.
Week 2 • Strength
From our mid-30s onward, muscle mass and bone density naturally decline—and this accelerates during perimenopause. By our mid-40's, we may notice a shift in our overall physical strength.
This week, we'll focus on building strength, integrating steady, slow, and strong approaches to asana and other ways to sustain, and even build, strength.
Week 3 • Sustainability
Rest is essential, yet often disrupted during this time.
We’ll explore ways to reset sleep cycles, balance cortisol and melatonin, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system through yoga nidra, restorative poses, and intentional rest practices.
