🧘♀️ Why Slow Yoga Matters in Perimenopause & Menopause
If you’ve ever felt like life is moving at lightning speed — juggling hormones, mood swings, sleep struggles, and a to-do list a mile long — you’re not alone.
For women in perimenopause and menopause,
slowing down isn’t indulgent; it’s healing.
And this is where
Slow Yoga becomes a game-changer.
“When you listen to your body when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream.” — Brett Larkin
Slow Yoga intentionally eases you into:
- Gentle, mindful movements
- Steady, nourishing breath
- Deep, loving awareness of your changing body
It’s about
how you feel, not what you look like.
✨ Benefits of Slow Yoga for Midlife Healing
✔️ Regulates stress hormones (like cortisol)
✔️ Calms the nervous system, easing anxiety
✔️ Improves sleep quality
✔️ Eases joint stiffness and muscle tension
✔️ Supports mental clarity and emotional balance
✔️ Strengthens your connection to your body’s wisdom
Bonus: It feels really good.
🌸 What is Slow Yoga?
Slow Yoga is a
gentle, mindful practice that focuses on longer holds, soft transitions, and inner awareness. It isn’t about pushing harder or performing — it’s about
coming home to yourself.
Patrick Beach reminds us:
“Your practice is your sanctuary.”
Slow Yoga gives you permission to
take up that sacred space and honor the woman you’re becoming in this transformational chapter.
🌿 How to Start a Slow Yoga Practice
No fancy props or perfection needed. Just your breath and a soft, quiet space.
Try this simple, soothing sequence:
- Seated Cat-Cow (gentle spinal mobility)
- Supported Child’s Pose (release the back and hips)
- Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (calm the mind, improve circulation)
- Reclined Twist (detox and soothe digestion)
- Savasana with Breath Awareness (full-body reset)
Even 10 minutes can completely shift your energy.

🌙 Final Thoughts
Healing doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing
less, better. From slowing down. From listening inward.
Slow Yoga is a sacred act of self-love, especially in this beautiful, powerful, and sometimes messy midlife season.
You’re not alone in this. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Let’s move through it, together. 💖
