How stress gets in the way of peri-menopause
/At the risk of repeating myself… This is so important!
When we are adjusting to the hormone changes in our body, stress becomes more of a burden than we realise. Why? Because the adrenal glands are responsible for secreting stress hormones. But they are also responsible for mimicking oestrogen by creating oestrone. So while the adrenals are busy trying to maintain homeostasis for our endocrine system, they cannot cope with stress.
Have you noticed that if you get stressed, you burn out more easily?
What can you do about it? Restorative Yoga! Seriously, it has the most astonishing effect on the body. By propping yourself in such a way that your body is supported; held safely and securely, your nervous system can relax.
If you were to practice a restorative pose every day, you would cope better with stress. Why not have a one to one to learn 3 poses to suit your lifestyle so that you can practice something every day?
