If you're over 40 and starting to feel like your body, mood, sleep or energy are changing in ways nobody properly prepared you for, this book is for you.
Perimenopause can feel confusing, physical, emotional and deeply unsettling. You may be noticing changes in your cycle, weight, confidence, libido, anxiety levels, sleep, motivation or sense of self, and wondering what on earth is happening. In YogaPause: What Women Need To Know After 40 And Why Yoga Is The Answer, integrative psychotherapist, women's wellbeing specialist and internationally recognised Yoga Elder Cheryl Kennedy MacDonald offers a practical, compassionate and body-based guide to understanding perimenopause and supporting yourself through it.
Drawing on over 20 years of experience working with women, Cheryl brings together yoga for menopause, breathwork, nervous system support, mindset, movement, pelvic wellbeing and lifestyle practices to help you feel more informed, more balanced and more connected to yourself during this important stage of life.
This is not about pretending midlife is easy, and it is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding your changing hormones, learning how to support your body and mind, and approaching menopause and midlife with more clarity, confidence and self-respect.
Inside YogaPause, you'll discover:
- A clear introduction to perimenopause and menopause so you can better understand common symptoms, hormonal changes and what may be happening in your body after 40
- How yoga can support women in perimenopause and menopause, including sleep, stress, anxiety, hot flushes, mood swings, fatigue and body tension
- Practical yoga for menopause strategies for complete beginners as well as women with an existing yoga practice
- Breathwork and nervous system tools to help you feel calmer, steadier and more able to cope with overwhelm and emotional change
- Support for midlife wellbeing, including body image, confidence, motivation, identity shifts and emotional resilience
- Guidance around libido, pelvic floor health and intimate wellbeing during hormonal change
- Menopause nutrition and lifestyle support to help you feel stronger, healthier and more energised
- A more empowering mindset for life after 40, so this stage of life feels less like a loss and more like a powerful new chapter
- A realistic, sustainable wellbeing roadmap to help you build supportive habits that actually fit real life
YogaPause is for women who want more than generic menopause advice. It is for women who want an intelligent, relatable and holistic guide to perimenopause support, menopause wellbeing, women's yoga and feeling at home in themselves again.
Whether you are in the early stages of perimenopause, already deep in hormonal change, or simply want to understand how to support your body after 40, this book will help you feel less alone and far better equipped.
Midlife is not the end of your life. For many women, it is the beginning of a stronger, wiser and more honest relationship with themselves.
If you are ready to understand your symptoms, support your hormones, feel better in your body and use yoga as a practical tool for menopause and midlife wellbeing, YogaPause will show you how.
