2,100 Asanas: The Complete Yoga Poses

(Elliott) #1

Core poses–Ex. Boat Pose (Navasana) here. Avoid any vigorous core yoga poses, as it creates too
much tension around the abdominal organs and may worsen the menopause symptoms.


Standing twists–Ex. Revolved Side Angle (Parivritta Parshva konasana) here. Avoid any intense
twists, as it creates too much compression around the internal organs of the torso, which may
worsen the menopause symptoms.


Inversions–Ex. Headstand 1 (Shirshasana 1) here. Avoid any full inversions, as they increase
blood flow to the internal organs of the torso and raise heart rate which may cause hot flashes.
