Why more women are choosing Online Menopause Yoga

Menopause can be like a wild rollercoaster ride for your body, mind, and emotions; and nothing emphasises the importance of self-care and holistic wellbeing than this transformative stage of life. Thankfully, menopause yoga has emerged as a lifeline for many women who wish to enjoy all the benefits of a natural solution that's designed to help alleviate menopause symptoms. However, more and more are choosing to practice online menopause yoga, so let's explore the benefits that this offers.

Practice online menopause yoga with experts

Classes for online menopause yoga are not just led not by yoga teachers, they're taught by menopause yoga experts too. Not only do they have special accreditation, they've been through menopause themselves, so they know exactly what you're going through. This means they can create classes that tackle all the common symptoms such as hot flashes, joint pain, sleep disturbances, pesky brain fog and more besides.

However, with only 700 certified menopause yoga teachers worldwide, finding these specialist classes can be like searching for a magic unicorn. Thankfully, online menopause yoga platforms such as My Menopause Yoga Journey now bring these experts right into your living room, no matter where in the world you are.

A flexible body and schedule

Menopause can make your energy levels as predictable as the weather forecast: one day you're full of beans, and the next, you're more like a comfy couch potato. Thankfully, online menopause yoga comes to the rescue. It's like yoga on your own terms and your own timetable, with no stress about sticking to a rigid schedule of in-person classes.

Online menopause yoga memberships like My Menopause Yoga Journey offer the perfect yoga style based on how you're feeling. Whether you’ve got some extra zing and want an energetic flow, or need a gentle, soothing practice to to help with sleep problems in menopause, or yoga to help with menopause joint pain, or even a simple 10 minute morning yoga sequence to ease your overnight aches and pains - online menopause yoga has got you covered.

Online menopause yoga - variety is the spice of life

Online menopause yoga is like a gourmet buffet with an extensive menu of options. An online membership such as My Menopause Yoga Journey is not a one trip pony. It includes the classics like Vinyasa - a gentle flow yoga - along with the super-chill styes of Yin and Restorative yoga which are perfect for days when you need a little extra TLC.

It also includes meditations like Yoga Nidra and Pranayama breathing practices to calm anxiety and overwhelm.

Budget-friendly online menopause yoga classes

One of the standout advantages of online menopause yoga is its remarkable cost-effectiveness. Traditional yoga classes can soon make a dent in your wallet when you add up studio memberships, class fees, petrol, and parking costs.

However, the beauty of online menopause yoga is that an average monthly subscription rate won't break your bank, and can be the equivalent price of a couple of your favourite weekly lattes. And some, like My Menopause Yoga Journey even offer  a 7 Day FREE free trial, so you can try before you buy.

Rewind & Replay

Online menopause yoga carries a secret weapon – recorded classes. With recorded classes, you can hit play when it suits you. Whether you’re an early bird or night owl, you’ve no need to worry about missing a live class or feel like you're always running late. You've got the power to pause, rewind, or fast forward.

The real magic? You can revisit the sessions you like as many times as you want. If a certain practice eased your joint pain or helped your brain fog, or gave you some emotional balance, just hit replay whenever you need it. 

Online menopause yoga offers increased Privacy and Comfort 

Online menopause yoga brings a whole new level of privacy and comfort, especially for ladies tackling menopause. Let's talk hot flashes. They're not just uncomfortable; they can make a surprise guest appearance when you least want them to, like in a packed yoga studio.

Practicing menopause yoga at home creates a cozy cocoon of privacy where you're the boss. You pick the room temperature, wear whatever keeps you most comfy when the heat wave hits, and you can take breaks whenever you want, without judgment.

Menopause can also bring some emotional twists and turns. However, with online menopause yoga, you've got a safe space to let those feelings out, whether you need a moment to centre yourself, take a breather, or even shed a tear or two. It’s your practice in your way.

A Guided Practice

Life can get pretty chaotic during menopause so staying consistent with your yoga practice might seem like climbing a mountain. But one again, online menopause yoga has the answer with a guided yoga practice that provides structure and support so you always know what to practice next. 

My Menopause Yoga Journey's membership offers a unique 7-stage guided practice designed to alleviate menopause symptoms and establish a sustainable home yoga routine. Perfect for beginners, it includes structured support through yoga calendars, tutorials, certificates of achievement, and it even included a Menopause Symptom Tracker so you can measure your progress on and off the mat. With 98% of members reporting significant symptom relief after just the first stage, this approach to online yoga for menopause has been life-changing for many.

Online menopause yoga on the go

Online menopause yoga is all about accessibility. This means you can stretch and flow from the comfort of your own space, be it in your home or anywhere else your suitcase takes you.

Traveling during menopause can be quite the adventure, but it messes with your routine and throws you into unfamiliar territory. Online menopause yoga makes this a breeze. All you need is an internet connection and a device, and you're good to go. My Menopause Yoga Journey comes with its very own App too, so whether you're in a hotel room, or staying with family, menopause yoga is at your fingertips.

Go at Your Own Pace with online menopause yoga

During menopause, it's important to 'listen' to your body and to the need for self-compassion. Online menopause yoga takes the lead by creating the opportunity where you can practice at your own pace and avoid over doing it - something that’s super important during menopause.

In a traditional yoga class, it's easy to get swept up in the energy of the room, sometimes pushing yourself a bit too hard when you see others bending like pretzels. But the beauty of practicing at home is that you’re the boss of your mat, and there's zero pressure to match anyone else's performance. This is YOUR yoga journey, and it's all about what feels right for YOU.

Your very own menopause support group

Online menopause yoga also offers the benefits of a community. Menopause support groups such as Yoga for Menopause provide a community of women who are all on the same journey. They totally get what you're going through and are searching for relief from their symptoms with yoga.

In a community, you can chat with your fellow students, share your stories, offer a helping hand, or just receive the support you need, and get access to the teacher too. Great when you need help working on a particular pose, or when you need guidance for an injury or limitation.

Online menopause yoga is perfect for yoga beginners

Online menopause yoga is like the red carpet for yoga newbies during menopause. This phase might sometimes make you feel self-conscious and the idea of joining a real-life class can be intimidating. Practicing online, however, offers a cozy haven for beginners starting yoga at home to confidently embark on their yoga journey, grabbing all the amazing physical and emotional benefits yoga brings during this important life chapter without having to face the fears of an in-person yoga class.

Online menopause yoga is the answer

Whether you're just stepping onto the mat for the first time or you're a seasoned yogi, online menopause yoga offers a passport to a smoother, healthier, and more empowered journey through menopause.

But it needn’t be one or the other, it can be both. In an ideal world, a harmonious blend of online and in-person yoga classes is be the perfect recipe for navigating menopause. While online menopause yoga offers flexibility, accessibility, and privacy, an in-person class provides a sense of physical community, immediate instructor guidance, and an amazing group energy that can be truly uplifting.
