Menopause Yoga
Winter Rest
Recorded Classes
“Rest is productive. It’s the moment your body heals and your mind exhales” *
Experience the power of rest during the festive season with four deeply nourishing menopause yoga pre-recorded restorative practices.
Taking time out for constructive rest can help your endocrine and nervous systems recalibrate during menopause, often leading to reduced symptoms and a smoother journey through the menopause transition.
Each practice will help you unwind and relax and give you dedicated time out from constant connection and over stimulation.
Experience gentle stretching, breathing practices and supported poses to unwind fatigue and tension, as well as meditation practices and guided relaxations specific to menopause, that invite you to reframe menopause as a positive transition to be embraced with self-compassion and self-care.
These classes were delivered live online in November and recorded for a broader audience. Each one is an invitation to drop into connection with winter’s invitation to rest and do less.
Rest is not a withdrawal, it is a return to yourself.

Equipment You Will Need for Each Class
During our menopause yoga practices we will be using a yoga mat and some yoga props for support. If you do not have some or all of this equipment, I have suggested some alternatives that you will find in your home.
1) A yoga brick. This can be substituted in many circumstances with a book of similar size, such as a full size dictionary.
2) A yoga block. An alternative from home would be a firm cushion of similar dimensions.
3) We will use a yoga strap/ belt but this can be easily substituted with a long scarf/dressing-gown belt, resistance band or even a tie.
4) 2 small scatter cushions would be handy for added support in certain reclined postures.
5) We will be using a yoga bolster for our restorative postures. Two or three firm pillows can used as a substitute for a bolster, or you can even use a bed bolster or firm sofa cushions.
6) Lastly one or two blankets that can be folded up for support or used for warmth will be very handy and add to your comfort in each session
