Yoga for Menopause | A Little Space for Yourself

Some days, you might come to your mat wanting to move. Other days, especially after a broken night’s sleep, you might be glad of a blanket and a few quiet minutes to yourself. You can make room for both in your yoga practice.

During perimenopause and menopause, what feels right in your body can change from one day to the next. Perhaps a balance you’ve done many times feels a little wobbly today. Or perhaps you’ve never tried yoga before and you’re wondering where to start. In my 1:1 and small group sessions, we have time to notice how you’re feeling and find a way to practise that suits you that day.

What my MenoYoga® training brings to our sessions

I completed my 30-hour MenoYoga® teacher training with Sally Parkes in 2026. The training explored the changes that can happen during perimenopause and menopause, including changes to bone health, and looked at how we can adapt yoga for this stage of life.

In a session, that might look like using a chair to steady yourself while we work on balance, taking time with a standing pose to feel your legs working, or settling into a supported rest at the end. There’s room for both effort and ease. I’ll offer options and give you time to notice what feels comfortable in your own body.

Would you prefer 1:1 yoga or a small group?

As a 48-year-old woman navigating perimenopause, I naturally bring supportive practices to all of my community classes. However, a 1:1 session gives us time to talk about what you’d like from your practice. You might want to feel more confident with balance, explore ways to move when you’re feeling stiff, or learn a short practice you can come back to at home. We can take things at your pace and pause whenever you have a question or want to try something a different way.

Similarly, a small group session gives you the company of practising alongside friends, with space for individual guidance. You can share as much or as little about your experience of menopause as you feel comfortable with.

If you’re curious about yoga for menopause, get in touch and tell me a little about what you’re looking for. We can have a chat about what a session might look like for you.

Beginners are always very welcome.
