Yoga for Women & Restorative Yoga

Menopause is a natural physiological process. It’s characterized by a loss of ovarian estrogen production. The asanas focusing on the pelvic region (supine or sitting) widen the pelvis and enhance the blood circulation to the reproductive organs supporting their health and function.

Because Iyengar Yoga works with active standing asanas and helps stay physically active, it enhances body metabolism, avoids weight gain, and helps prevent coronary artery diseases. Inverted postures provide very good blood circulation to the brain and help its functions while strengthening concentration, emotional stability, and hormonal balance. Additionally, Pranayama fosters mental clarity and interior quietness, easing mood swings and anxiety often associated with this period of life.
