Why Yoga Strength?

During menopause, falling oestrogen levels can lead to a gradual loss of muscle mass and bone density. In fact, women can lose up to 10% of their bone density in the years around menopause, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. We also naturally lose muscle strength with age, making it even more important to include regular strength-based exercise in our weekly routine.

Strong muscles do much more than help us feel fitter, hey help to support and protect our bones, improve balance, reduce the risk of falls, protect our joints, improve posture and make everyday activities easier. Strength training also supports a healthy metabolism, helping us maintain muscle and manage weight changes that are common during menopause.

What is Yoga Strength?

Our Yoga Strength sessions combine the calming benefits of yoga with the proven advantages of strength training.

Each class begins with a gentle yoga warm-up, using flowing movements, stretches and breathing techniques to mobilise the joints, improve flexibility and prepare the body safely for exercise.

We then progress into a strength-based session, using resistance bands and light hand weights to help build muscle strength, improve bone health and increase confidence in movement.

The class finishes with gentle stretching and relaxation, leaving you feeling stronger, more energised and refreshed.
