Discover physical, mental, and emotional balance in menopause with Yin Yoga

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably heard of Yin yoga but have no idea what it is. Yin yoga is nothing new - it can be traced back over 2,000 years to China - but just recently, it’s become hugely popular. What makes it different from other styles of yoga is that it doesn’t set out to work the muscles. Instead, it physically nourishes the body it at a deeper level, whilst calming the mind too - almost like meditation. But it's in menopause that Yin yoga comes into its own, as it not only helps ease menopause symptoms, it can restore physical, mental, and emotional balance. Check out all these amazing benefits of Yin Yoga:

Improves menopause joint pain

Yin yoga by-passes the muscles to stretch the connective tissues and fascia. This helps to release menopause joint pain which is a common problem experienced by many women and that's caused by tightness around the muscles and poor circulation in the joints. 

Yin yoga reduces menopause stress

In Yin yoga, you hold each pose up to five minutes giving you time to relax, peel away the stress that menopause brings, helping you focus on your breathing. The connective tissues respond best to a slow, steady load and become longer and stronger.

Less mental fatigue

Yin yoga allows you to listen to your body and opens up space for you to release and banish negative emotions and thought patterns; leaving you feeling wonderfully refreshed and lighter, and with a much more positive mindset.

Yin yoga helps offset menopause brain fog

Yin yoga can be challenging but by mastering the art of breathing, you will learn to find comfort in discomfort. This helps develop mental resilience both on and off the mat and will help you banish negative thinking and menopause brain fog that can arise in menopause. 

Improved energy flow

By removing energetic blockages, you will improve the health of your organs, boost your immunity and cultivate holistic wellbeing in menopause.

Yin yoga cultivates stillness

People now appreciate the importance of being still, which can be the hardest part of a busy life. This cultivation of stillness is probably one of Yin yoga’s greatest gifts.

The natural complement to traditional yoga

Yin yoga also provides the perfect balance for those with fast-paced lives or who have an active yoga practice, and for women who have low energy levels in menopause. It’s also ideal for those looking to start a home yoga practice.

Suitable for everyone and EVERY BODY

Yin yoga is a practice that everyone can do, regardless of level of experience or flexibility. It's a passive style of yoga that requires little energy, plus every pose can be easily adapted to suit each person’s degree of flexibility without compromising the benefits.
