🌿 Everything gets better when you can just get some sleep! 

I used to dread bedtime during perimenopause and menopause. Tossing and turning, waking at 2 a.m., feeling exhausted the next day - I thought sleep might be gone for good. And it has such a knock on effect for everything you do - anger, rage, irritability - everything really. 

 

But discovering gentle yoga and mindful breathwork changed everything. Even a few minutes before bed helps calm my mind, ease tension, and prepare my body for deep, restorative sleep.

It's not just breathing - breathworks can be used to quiet your mind before bedtime and help you get much needed sleep.

Turning your head upside down when your brain feels upside down can surprisingly make the world of difference. 

🧘‍♀️ Why Yoga Helps with Menopause Insomnia.

Restorative yoga and breathwork help regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol, and signal to your body that it’s safe to sleep.

Poses like Legs Up the Wall, Supta Baddha Konasana, and mindful breathing increase circulation, calm racing thoughts, and release tension from the shoulders, neck, and hips — all common sources of sleep disruption in menopause.
 

Studies show yoga improves sleep quality and reduces menopause and perimenopause insomnia, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Even short daily sessions can make a noticeable difference in how rested and energized you feel.

⏱️ Short on Time? No Problem.

Second Spring is full of quick and easy practices that really work. 

You may think yoga takes forever and you just don't have the time. But it doesn't have to. Research shows that even very short yoga practices improve cognitive function and psychological well-being in menopausal women ScienceDirect.


Another study found that GABA levels rose by 27% after a single yoga session, easing menopause brain fog and supporting mood YouTube.

5 to 10 minutes a day can make a difference. Why not give it a go, it's really easy and you don't need any special equipment or experience.

No this isn't just lying down and relaxing, this is yoga helping you drift off into the land of nod. 

How Yoga helps you sleep 

  • Calm your nervous system: Reduces stress and racing thoughts that keep you awake.

  • Release physical tension: Hips, back, and shoulders relax, making it easier to drift off.

  • Improve sleep cycles: Gentle restorative practice helps regulate your body’s natural rhythms.

  • Support deep rest: Breathwork encourages slower heart rate and restorative sleep patterns.

Legs up the wall sequence 4.jpg

VIDEO ONE: Legs Up the Wall is one of the most restorative poses for easing  menopause insomnia.

By slowing your heart rate and calming your nervous system this helps reduce the racing thoughts and physical tension that often keep you awake during menopause insomnia.

Just a few minutes before bed can improve circulation, release tension from the hips and lower back, and signal your body it’s safe to relax — helping you drift into deeper, more restorative sleep.

VIDEO TWO: Boxed Breathwork is a simple yet powerful way to deal with your menopause sleep disruption. 

Equal counts of inhale, hold, exhale, and pause brings your nervous system into balance and lowers stress hormones like cortisol.

 

This helps quiet the mind and reduce the anxiety or restlessness that often causes perimenopause insomnia.

Practicing even a few rounds before bedtime helps steady your heart rate, ease tension, and prepare your body for calm, uninterrupted sleep.

VIDEO THREE: Supported Child's Pose - finally menopause and sleep go together.

Allows your body to rest fully on a cushion or bolster, activating your parasympathetic nervous system. This calming effect can ease the physical and mental tension that fuels menopause sleep disruption.

Focusing on slow, gentle breaths while in the pose encourages relaxation and reduces cortisol, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.
