Can yoga really help with menopause symptoms? with Petra Coveney

In this episode, I'm going to be talking to yoga instructor, author and founder of Menopause Yoga Petra Coveney about how yoga can help with the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.
Yoga is now recommended by the NHS as there is evidence that it can help us manage mood swings, low mood and anxiety during menopause. So I wanted to speak to Petra to find out more about these amazing benefits and just why yoga is such a special practice. If you've never tried yoga before, or if you're a regular, I encourage you to listen to this fascinating conversation as Petra takes us through how we can incorporate yoga into our regular activity and the sorts of yoga poses that are going to be most beneficial for our symptoms.
Petra Coveney is the author of Menopause Yoga: A holistic guide to supporting women on their menopause journey and a member of the British Medical Society. She created Menopause Yoga and Wellbeing back in 2011, following her own difficult experiences of the perimenopause and based on years of research into yoga, nutrition, HRT herbal remedies, acupuncture, and much more to help her to alleviate painful and disruptive symptoms.
