Embracing Wellness: Yoga and Functional Training for Perimenopause and Menopause



As women approach and enter the stages of perimenopause and menopause, the physical and emotional changes can be overwhelming. This transitional period often brings symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and weight gain. While these changes are a natural part of ageing, they can be challenging to navigate. Embracing a holistic wellness approach, such as the integrative programs offered by Asana Tribe Yoga, can significantly improve the quality of life during this time.


The Power of Yoga and Functional Training


Yoga, known for its profound benefits in promoting relaxation and flexibility, combined with functional training, which focuses on improving strength and mobility, offers a powerful remedy for the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. This combination can enhance physical fitness and weight training, alleviate stress, and improve overall well-being.


Yoga helps in:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety through breathwork and meditation.

  • Improving flexibility and balance, which can decline with age.

  • Enhancing sleep quality, crucial for managing menopausal symptoms.


Functional Training focuses on:

  • Strengthening muscles to support bones, is crucial as the risk of osteoporosis increases.

  • Enhancing cardiovascular health, which can be affected by hormonal changes.

  • Improving mobility and functional movements, making daily activities easier and more enjoyable.

  • Working with weights, resistant bands and bodyweight exercises to increase your strength and overall fitness.
