Our guest today is Jenny, a dedicated yoga instructor who has been teaching for over 18 years! Her career has shifted and evolved from practicing yoga for simply the physical aspects, to incorporating her own writings and philosophies from the Sutras and dharmas, hosting retreats, and working with people from all walks of life. Working as an instructor for the popular Inner Dimension Yoga platform as well, a few years Jenny was asked to instruct women on perimenopause.
In a fantastic conversation, Jenny really highlights the importance of being true to yourself, whether that’s in the type of yoga class you choose each week, the philosophies that you believe in, trusting your body if things feel off, or pursuing your passions.
While the dialogue around perimenopause is growing, we need to continue to develop and evolve the narrative. There are 60-70 symptoms of menopause, and in particular for women between the ages of 40 – 60, we need to understand and educate ourselves to be empowered when things start to change or feel different in our bodies.
Finding tools to help during perimenopause such as a great menopause specialist, yoga practice or movement, meditation, and a community of support is fantastic. These won’t necessarily fix this period of transition and change in our bodies, but they will help.
