About Yoga and Menopause Workshop
Every system in the human female is affected by the menopausal transition - from cognition and sleep to metabolism and body composition. Yoga cannot alleviate all the symptoms of menopause, but it can certainly play a fundamental role in how one approaches this exciting yet challenging time of life.
By attending this 2 hour workshop you will:
This workshop will begin with a discussion of the changes associated with menopause. We’ll explore ways to adapt asana to maintain healthy mobility and build strength, and learn breath and meditation protocols to promote better rest, recovery, sleep, and focus. We’ll also examine the philosophical concepts that can help improve self-image, dismantle limiting beliefs, and empower individuals as they cope with changing bodies, aging parents, work challenges and other midlife concerns.
Please join us for this important forum for education, shared practice, and celebration of women in their prime.
Props you will need:
Your yoga mat

Words from Cynthia
Hello, Yogis.
I am THRILLED to be leading a workshop on Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 2-4 PM to share some of what I have learned during my years of study in yoga, fitness and menopause coaching.
Click on this brief video to hear about my view of this incredibly exciting (albeit somewhat turbulent) time of life and how women can navigate through it using yoga as a fundamental tool in their arsenal. Then, head to Inye Yoga to sign up. (Limited spots available.)
This workshop is for any person of any age who wants to better understand what happens in the years prior to menopause and beyond and how yoga practice can be a vital part of the experience, including:
The role of estrogen
The symptoms of peri- and post-menopause
Current wisdom on mitigating symptoms
Nutritional, exercise and recovery recommendations
Adapting the yoga practice for women in midlife and beyond
Yoga asana and tissue health
Practices for anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation
Yoga philosophy and coping with change
We'll compare notes, share stories, move and breathe together... You'll leave with what I hope will be a sense of optimism and empowerment, and a stronger connection to an amazing community of women.
If you have any questions about the workshop (or if you want to carpool from Toronto with me - I've got 2 spots!), you can e-mail me at cyntext@me.com.
Hope to see you there!
Cynthia
