This restorative yoga video is intended to support women in their perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal years who don’t sleep well in the night. Not sleeping well during the normal sleeping night hours is incredibly common for women over forty-five. Sleeping peacefully through the night, is no longer the norm and so in this class we bring awareness to the outcome of sleepless nights. We begin by offering ourselves acceptance to kindness instead of fighting the fatigue with the habit of productivity. Turning to restorative yoga allows us to greet our fatigue and exhaustion with gentle and tender care. Dropping the struggle allows us to let go of unrealistic expectations and drop into compassionate restoration.
