I didn't know menopause could create so much anxiety.
Good new.
Yoga can help.

Menopause stress
As said last week, menopause increases anxiety because
estrogens used to balance cortisol, the stress hormone.
But now, cortisol is quite free to flow in the body!
So you might feel a little bit (if not much more!)
STRESSED OUT.

Yoga to reduce stress
Yoga helps reducing your cortisol level.
Especially as you exhale,
you activate you parasympathetic nervous system.
So using your breathing and gravity can help you feel great - calm and relaxed.
