This handbook builds on the wisdom shared in Petra's first book, 'Menopause YogaTM - a holistic guide to supporting women on their menopause journey' by providing tools and techniques for home practice or as part of yoga therapy.
This self-help book is written with a friendly, inclusive tone and offers evidence-based advice on physical, mental and emotional wellbeing during perimenopause to post menopause, as well as curated 15-30 minute yoga home practice classes for symptoms such as cooling hot flushes, easing anxiety, soothing menopause irritability, clearing brain fog, improving sleep, pelvic floor health, and many more.
The classes are accompanied by 18 class videos, illustrations and written instructions including modifications and how to use props.
With a wealth of contributions from leading experts in menopause wellness, this is a trusted guide for professionals as well as anyone looking for a holistic approach to management their own menopause symptoms. It includes information on Hormone Replacement Therapy, nutrition, exercise, CBT psychology, herbal remedies and supplements, Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, as well as a section on diversity of experience from ethnicity, LGBTQX, trauma, neurodiversity and ADHD, to premature ovarian insufficiency and medically induced menopause.
