Why Yoga for Menopause Works Better When You Do This

Most menopausal women approach practising yoga in one of two ways.

They either join a local class, hoping it will ease menopause symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, perimenopause anxiety, or insomnia, or they practise yoga at home using a mix of online videos, playlists, or recommendations found along the way. Both approaches are well intentioned. And both can work - at least for a while.

But as menopause progresses, many women notice the same frustrations creeping in. Online classes and public classes can start to feel too fast, too slow, or simply not designed for how their body feels now.

The real reason women give up on yoga isn’t time, willpower, or commitment. It’s the absence of guidance and content designed for their changing bodies in menopause.

Yoga for menopause doesn’t stop being helpful - it simply needs a plan. 

Menopause Changes What the Body Needs

One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga in midlife is that one style can do everything. The same flow. The same pace. The same expectations - regardless of perimenopause fatigue, joint stiffness, or recovery.

In menopause, the body is no longer predictable. Energy levels can fluctuate from day to day, joints may feel stiff or achy without warning, and recovery often takes longer than it once did. A practice that felt supportive one week can feel draining the next.

Without a plan, it’s easy to default to what’s familiar - even when it’s no longer what the body is asking for. That’s often when women start to think, “Yoga just doesn’t work for me anymore.”

This is why yoga for menopause needs to be adaptable - and why practising the same style, at the same pace, regardless of symptoms, often stops delivering results.

Yoga for Menopause at Home

More women in menopause are turning to practicing yoga at home as it allows flexibility - shorter sessions, gentler choices, and the freedom to adapt around fatigue, work, or caring responsibilities.

But without guidance, yoga at home can quickly become inconsistent, leaving women unsure whether they’re choosing the right kind of practice to support those horrible perimenopause symptoms.

That’s where a plan comes in. The right plan provides suitable content and clear direction, so yoga at home feels supportive rather than hit-and-miss. Over time, this consistency builds confidence. You stop questioning whether yoga is “working” because your body begins to respond.

A Guided Journey of Menopause Yoga

I created Radiant Reset, a guided journey that’s FREE in my online yoga membership because too many women were doing “all the right things” with yoga yet still feeling stuck.

They were attending classes or practising yoga at home, unsure whether what they were doing truly supported their menopause symptoms. They lacked guidance on what to practise, when, and why. And without content designed specifically for menopausal bodies, motivation naturally ebbed away.

Radiant Reset brings all of those missing pieces together and is unlike other memberships which simply offer a library of classes. Radiant Reset encourages women to practice short sequences more frequently. For example a 10 minute morning yoga sequence practiced just three times per week will protect energy levels and keep menopause joint pain at bay. 

All content is designed for menopausal women, and with calendars that explore several styles of yoga to support strength, flexibility, mobility, and deep rest, women are no longer left second-guessing their practice - they always know what and when to practice.

Courtesy of an exclusive Menopause Symptom Tracker, women can monitor their symptoms with every calendar - and as their wellbeing improves, their confidence soars.

This unique guided journey is suitable for complete beginners, those returning to yoga after a long absence, and women looking to establish and enjoy a home practice.

Radiant Reset isn’t about doing more yoga. It’s about doing the right yoga, at the right time, for this stage of life.

Finding The Right Approach

If your yoga has felt inconsistent during menopause, it’s not because you lacked commitment or motivation. It’s because this stage of life asks for yoga that’s more considered - with content and guidance that genuinely match your body’s needs.

With the right approach, yoga for menopause doesn’t need to be forced or fitted in. It becomes a steady, supportive practice that evolves as you do - helping you feel stronger, more mobile, and more at ease in your body again…and best of all, you don’t need to leave home to enjoy it.
