Menopause brings more than hot flashes. Changes in bone density, muscle mass, metabolism, sleep, and nervous system regulation can significantly influence how we practice yoga—and how we teach it—during midlife and beyond. This series offers a yoga therapy–informed, science-aware framework for adapting practice to meet these changes skillfully, safely, and sustainably.

Yoga offers a uniquely multidimensional approach to health span as we age. Through integrated movement, breath, and awareness, we begin to sense and understand both the physical and subtle energetic shifts that accompany menopause.

You will explore accessing asana through dynamic breath practices, cultivating a more integrated and responsive experience of movement. You’ll learn practical tools that support stability, reduce common menopausal symptoms, improve sleep quality, and help slow bone loss—enhancing balance and well-being across body, mind, and spirit.

With increasing longevity, many practitioners will spend decades in post-menopause. This series equips you with tools to support strength, adaptability, and a sustainable practice for the long term.

Sadly, many students abandon yoga altogether at some point in this phase of life because their practice no longer supports their current state and they are not aware of alternatives. I think one of the culprits is that these stages of life are largely unexplored in standard 200-hour yoga teacher training programs and therefore rarely addressed in general yoga classes. While teacher trainings often cover how to modify practices for prenatal students, they tend to overlook the other end of the reproductive cycle—one that affects 100% of women, regardless of whether they have given birth. In essence, the typical training is focused on our women’s life up to their early 40s. Workshops on menopause or beyond are typically siloed and specialized, often framed as if a student suddenly leaps a chasm into frailty, chair yoga, or “old age.” Even workshops on being trauma-informed are more popular than acknowledging this simple truth: we are all aging.

Through an evidence-informed, yoga therapy-based approach, we’ll explore how yoga can support the physical, energetic, and nervous system changes of midlife and beyond. This workshop is designed to support and deepen your personal practice and, for teachers, to expand your capacity to serve students navigating this transition.

This workshop brings together practitioners and teachers to practice and reflect together as people who are aging.
