When suffering the discomfort of menopause and perimenopausal symptoms, the very last thing we feel like doing is exercise. The idea of becoming more heated, sweating more and feeling even more out of control and disconnected from our bodies when we are already tired from disturbed sleep is not appealing, despite knowing the benefits especially of holistic modalities such as yoga.
However, there may be another way. Yin Yoga invites us to experience the immense power of doing nothing. Like regular yoga, Yin invites us to open a new conversation with our bodies and to treat them as an old friend rather than an enemy to be despised and punished.
