It is a biological process affecting women’s hormonal systems which occur for women aged 40 to 60 years old. In this situation, women undergo hormonal, physical and mental upheavals. not all the obvious signs reveal themselves in all women.The most obvious and experienced of these symptoms are hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, changes in sex drive, and backaches. around 55-65% of menopausal women go through these symptoms.during menopause, the ovaries’ production of estrogen and progesterone is decreased. The shrinkage in production is immediately sensed by the pituitary gland which causes it to produce more. this causes an imbalance in the body. The fluctuating production of hormones begins 6 years before menstrual periods end and goes on until a year after the last stage. thereafter, the lower production of hormones gets more stable.Yoga can help ease the pain and other symptoms felt by these menopausal women. a fact that is not commonly known is the close relation between yoga and menopause. The mental imbalance caused by menopause can be normalized through Yoga. Blood circulation is enhanced by the stretch and relaxation of the muscles by the different poses and this causes a rise in the cells’ oxygen levels.one of the early symptoms of menopause is insomnia, which Yoga can manage. There are postures that effectively result in a state of rest.In cases of fatigue and body aches, yoga postures like supported back bends provide the help. These poses open the chest and heart.
