Episode Description

Your body changes in midlife and that means how you approach yoga needs to change too.

In this episode, I talk with yoga therapist Cheryl Gordon about how to keep getting all the benefits of yoga in menopause without over-stretching, overheating, or causing unnecessary strain on your joints and connective tissues.


You’ll learn:

  • Why hormonal changes in midlife mean your yoga practice should evolve too
  • What to keep in mind to avoid overstretching and joint pain
  • Why hot yoga may do more harm than good
  • How to shift toward styles that support strength, mobility, and hormone balance
  • What “real yoga therapy” looks like and why it can help you stay strong, calm, and functional for decades ahead
