Are you are feeling anxious, irritable or very up and down? Is your sleep is disrupted? Maybe you’re getting hot flashes or having night sweats? Or is it brain fog and poor concentration that you’re finding frustrating? If you’re aged 40 or more chances are your hormone levels are declining. You can harmonise your hormones with Hormone Yoga to relieve Peri-Menopause and Menopause symptoms naturally.

Around the age of 35 hormone levels start to decrease. To begin with you probably won’t notice. But as you approach the menopause you’re likely to feel the effects of lowered progesterone and oestrogen. Other symptoms include migraines, vaginal dryness, poor libido, bloating, dry skin and just feeling meh with no energy or zest for life.

Hormone Yoga Therapy is one way to help manage menopause symptoms naturally. The method was devised by Dinah Rodrigues, a Brazilian Yoga therapist in the early 90s. Since then many women around the world have benefitted from the system. It is particularly popular in South America, Germany and the Czech Republic.

If you’re looking for a way to harmonise your hormones naturally, give Hormone Yoga ago. You can revive your energy, your sensuality and your zest for life.

I think Hormone Yoga is an excellent alternative to HRT, I only wish I’d known about it ages ago“ Caroline

How Hormone Yoga Works

The system is a blend of Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tibetan energy techniques. After warming up we use dynamic breathing exercises combined with yoga poses. These exercises massage specific glands, increasing the flow of blood and energy to stimulate and increase hormone production. The main focus is on the ovaries, thyroid, adrenals and pituitary glands.

Once the glands have been stimulated we move onto the calming part of the practice. Relaxation and Anti-Stress Techniques are used to soothe the nervous system. Giving your mind the opportunity to unplug and recharge. This stage is very important, because when we’re stressed hormone production is diverted away from the sex hormones to produce more stress hormones, which then exacerbates hormonal conditions. That’s why the menopause or PMS can feel a whole lot worse if you’re experiencing stress in other parts of your life.

The Benefits

You can feel the results of Hormone Yoga fairly quickly. I noticed an increase in energy levels almost straight away, but it took 3 to 4 weeks for other symptoms to improve. People I’ve taught who then practice regularly, all report improved energy levels.

Some find their aches and pains disappear and others see improvements in their digestion. You can read other students experiences here.

To feel the benefit you need to practice Hormone Yoga regularly, ideally for 30 minutes four times a week. The more you do the better the results. I’ve been practising several times a week since May 2020 and feel great for it. If I go a few days without doing Hormone Yoga my energy levels drop. Read my experience here.
