In recent years there has been a surge in awareness surrounding the challenges experienced by menopausal women, along with impassioned calls for more specialized support from health and wellness professionals. In Yoga for Menopause and Beyond, author Niamh Daly shares how yoga teachers can help answer these calls.Written in an open and heartfelt conversational style, this book is a reimagining of yoga viewed through the lens of menopause. It will help you understand which elements of yoga are already ideal, what may be unhelpful, and what you might add to support symptom relief, health, and self-esteem.Daly addresses topics such as biochemical, physical, social, and emotional impacts of menopause; specific physiological effects that necessitate a changed approach to asana; changes to the nervous system that influence what practices we choose; changing health risks and how the benefits of yoga can help reduce these risks; using movement for comfort and pleasure through somatics and instinctual movement; reconsidering your language to be inclusive of the broad array of possible experiences, including trauma sensitivity; incorporating what you learn into a class or workshop; empowering women through knowledge and recommendations; research and the importance of transparency in offering yoga tools for menopause; and practical advice, for within a class and outside, including sections on nutrition and medical options.Yoga for Menopause and Beyond is the ideal guide for anyone wishing to create a relevant and supportive yoga practice for women as they journey through menopause and into the postmenopause years.
