Following are the key poses for balancing your hormones, relieving hot flashes, supporting pelvic health and replenishing your energy reserves during the years known as perimenopause. These same poses are essential for coping with the physical and emotional challenges of the postmenopausal years. Restorative poses are vital for healthy aging, for both men and women.

Private sessions offer the opportunity to address questions and concerns that there may not be time for in a group class. The individualized attention of a private lesson can help you understand how to use yoga so that your practice is truly healing and nurturing.

If you are a beginner (or new to Iyengar style yoga) private lessons will also help to prepare you for group classes.

There are a number of excellent teachers and destinations in Ojai and Ventura County for your yoga practice.
