ON PAUSE — Yoga & Menopause

ON PAUSE — Yoga & Menopause  
ON PAUSE is a full-day yoga workshop for practitioners in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond! This day is dedicated to supporting the body, mind, and spirit during hormonal shifts and providing a space for connection and conversation with others in this phase of life. All levels are welcome.

What to expect:

We’ll start the day with a slow-paced vinyasa yoga sequence with a focus on resilience and adaptability — bones, joints, and pelvic floor take center stage. The posture sequence culminates with low-impact calisthenics for stability and strength. Pranayama follows, with an emphasis on cooling the body and modulating emotional turbulence. We’ll also play a series of conversational games — this is an opportunity to exercise our social muscles and reflect, as a group, on the diversity of experiences we call menopause.

In the afternoon we’ll continue with a restorative posture sequence to stimulate relaxation in the face of day-to-day stress and profound biological shifts. We’ll use props, including bolsters and blankets, to safely hold and support the body. The final posture will segue into a brief yoga nidra with guided imagery. The restorative session will conclude with seated meditation to encourage us to be present with things as they are.

We’ll end the day with a social circle for exchange, both structured and unstructured. This will be a chance to share stories and laughter, to practice listening, and to enjoy quiet in the company of others.

Join us for a day dedicated to exploring ways to move through menopause with strength, confidence, and a sense of community.
