The Perimenopause Yoga Fix: 8 Simple Poses to Balance Hormones & Reduce Stress

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self." — The Bhagavad Gita

Perimenopause feels like a wild rollercoaster—one day you're energized, the next you're drowning in exhaustion, anxiety, or hot flashes that make you question everything. But what if you had a natural, effective way to smooth out the ride?

Enter perimenopause yoga—a powerful tool to regulate hormones, reduce stress, and support your body through this transition. More than just exercise, yoga for hormone balance stimulates circulation, supports adrenal health, and calms the nervous system.

Forget pretzel-like poses—you don’t need to be ultra-flexible or a seasoned yogi to benefit. These 8 simple yet effective yoga poses will help relieve perimenopause symptoms, leaving you calmer, stronger, and more in tune with your body.

My Yoga Journey: From Survival Mode to Thriving

I discovered yoga in 2003, thanks to my adventurous roommate in Seoul, South Korea. We practiced in our tiny but fabulous apartment, and I was instantly hooked.

A year later, back in Canada and pregnant with my first child, I turned to prenatal yoga to ease my body through pregnancy. It didn’t just help—it transformed me. Eventually, I became a certified yoga instructor, but yoga became more than just a passion.

Now, in my late 40s, yoga isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. It keeps me centered, flexible, and emotionally resilient through perimenopause. I move, I breathe, I release stress—and my body thanks me every single time.

8 Yoga Poses to Support Your Perimenopause Transition

1. Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani): The Ultimate Chill Pose

“Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.” — B.K.S. Iyengar

This pose is a game-changer for stress relief and circulation. It calms the nervous system, eases lower back tension, and improves blood flow—helpful for hormone regulation.

✅ How to Do It:

• Lie on your back with your hips close to a wall.

• Extend your legs up against the wall and relax your arms by your sides.

• Close your eyes and focus on slow, deep breaths for 5–10 minutes.

🔥 Why It Works: Reduces stress, soothes swollen feet, and promotes deep relaxation.

2. Forward Bends: A Soothing Reset for Mood Swings

Forward bends are incredibly calming, helping ease anxiety, stretch the spine, and balance emotions.

✅ Head-to-Knee Pose (Janu Sirsasana)

• Sit with one leg extended and the other bent.

• Reach forward and gently stretch toward your toes.

• Hold for 5–10 breaths, then switch sides.

✅ Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana)

• Stand with feet hip-width apart.

• Hinge at your hips and reach for your toes or the floor.

• Let your head hang and breathe deeply.

🔥 Why It Works: Encourages deep relaxation while supporting digestion and hormone balance.

3. Twists: Detox Your Adrenals and Support Hormone Balance

Twisting poses massage internal organs, support digestion, and help process stress hormones—a huge win for perimenopause relief.

✅ Half Fish Pose (Ardha Matsyendrasana)

• Sit on the floor (or a chair).

• Twist your torso gently, looking over your shoulder.

• Hold for a few breaths, then switch sides.

🔥 Why It Works: Twists support the adrenal glands, which take a beating during perimenopause.

4. Weight-Bearing Poses: Build Bone Strength and Balance

"Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame." — B.K.S. Iyengar

Did you know perimenopause increases the risk of bone loss? Weight-bearing poses help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

✅ Half Dog Pose (Beginner-Friendly!)

• Place your palms on a wall at chest height.

• Step back until your torso is parallel to the floor.

• Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

✅ Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Form an inverted "V" with your body.

Press your hands and feet into the ground.

Hold for 5–10 breaths.

🔥 Why It Works: Strengthens bones, improves posture, and prevents falls.

5. Savasana (Corpse Pose): The Ultimate Reset

"Savasana is a time to be still and let your body rest. It’s not just an ending, it’s a rebirth." — Unknown

This pose isn’t just about lying down—it’s about letting go and allowing your nervous system to reset.

✅ How to Do It:

Lie on your back, close your eyes, and let your body sink into the floor.

Focus on your breath and let tension melt away.

Stay for 10 minutes, then roll onto your side and sit up slowly.

🔥 Why It Works: Lowers stress hormones, improves sleep, and promotes deep relaxation.
