Yoga for Menopause: Clear the Fog. Reclaim Your Focus.
You know those moments when you walk into a room and immediately forget why you’re there? Or when a familiar word just slips away mid-sentence? If you’ve been navigating menopause or perimenopause, you’ve probably felt the hazy grip of brain fog—and maybe the frustration that follows.
It’s not just in your head. Hormonal changes during this stage of life can affect your brain chemistry, your sleep, and your energy, leaving you feeling scattered, sluggish, or not quite like yourself. Add in the demands of a busy life—work, family, a calendar that seems to refill the moment you cross something off—and it’s no wonder your mind sometimes feels like it’s wading through molasses.
That’s why this September, we’re beginning the season with Yoga for Menopause: Brain Fog & Clarity—a 90-minute workshop designed to help you reset, refocus, and reconnect to that sharp, centered part of yourself you’ve been missing. Think of it as a gentle yet powerful tune-up for your mind.
Why Brain Fog Happens in Menopause
Before we move toward clarity, it helps to understand why fog happens in the first place. During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels shift significantly. These hormones don’t just influence reproduction—they also play an important role in brain function, mood regulation, and energy levels.
Fluctuations can disrupt your sleep, affect neurotransmitter activity, and contribute to forgetfulness or mental fatigue. Add stress into the mix, and you’ve got the perfect storm for fuzzy thinking. The good news? Your brain is incredibly adaptable, and with the right tools, you can create space for clarity and focus to return.
How Yoga Helps Clear the Fog
In this workshop, you’ll experience how yoga can work directly on the systems that support mental clarity. We’ll use:
Gentle Hatha yoga with seated twists, balance postures, and slow, intentional transitions to stimulate circulation, oxygenate the brain, and encourage mindful presence.
Restorative poses to release muscular tension and activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the “rest and digest” mode that calms the mind and replenishes mental energy.
A unique Pranayama (breathwork) and meditation sequence specifically designed to sharpen concentration and improve memory retention.
These practices work together to nourish your nervous system, improve oxygen flow to the brain, and help you shift from scattered to steady.
What to Expect During the Workshop
From the moment you step into the room, you’ll be invited to slow down. The pace of this workshop is intentional—nothing rushed, nothing forced.
We’ll begin with a grounding check-in, acknowledging where your mind and energy are right now without judgment. From there, we’ll move into gentle Hatha yoga, waking up the body and creating space in areas that tend to hold tension, such as the shoulders, hips, and spine. Seated twists will massage your abdominal organs, supporting digestion and detoxification—two processes closely tied to energy levels and brain function. Balance work will challenge your focus in the moment, encouraging both steadiness and lighthearted curiosity.
Then, we’ll transition into deeply restful Restorative poses. Here, your job is simply to receive. With the support of bolsters, blankets, and props, your body will settle into positions that allow your mind to let go. In this stillness, your nervous system can downshift, giving your brain a chance to reset.
The final part of our practice will be a breath and meditation sequence tailored for clarity. You’ll learn a Pranayama technique to oxygenate your brain, improve focus, and create a sense of alert calm. We’ll pair this with a short, guided meditation you can easily repeat at home—because the benefits of this workshop don’t stop when you roll up your mat.
Your Takeaway: A Daily Morning Routine for Clarity
One of the most empowering parts of this workshop is what you’ll carry with you. You’ll leave with a simple, five- to ten-minute morning routine designed to support focus and energy throughout your day. This isn’t a complicated, time-consuming ritual—it’s something you can do before your first cup of tea or coffee, whether you’re at home, traveling, or navigating a packed schedule.
By practicing this short sequence regularly, you’ll create a touchstone you can return to whenever life feels overwhelming or your thoughts feel scattered. Over time, you may notice that you start the day with more mental space, make decisions with greater ease, and recover your train of thought more quickly when distractions pop up.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time
September is a season of transition. Whether you have kids going back to school, a work schedule ramping up after summer, or simply a calendar that’s suddenly full again, it’s easy to feel like life speeds up while your brain is still in vacation mode.
This workshop is your permission to pause before the rush takes over—to ground yourself, sharpen your focus, and move into the season with a renewed sense of clarity. When you take the time to support your mind and body now, you’re setting yourself up for more energy, more presence, and more ease in the months ahead.

If you’ve noticed changes in your memory, focus, or mental energy during perimenopause or menopause, this workshop was designed for you. You don’t need to be an experienced yogi to participate—every practice is accessible and adaptable to meet you where you are.
