We're introducing a new yin class for perimenopausal women
-
Starting this Monday evening 630pm PST, I’m leading a group class specifically designed for women navigating hormonal transitions.
This class differs from our weekly group class Yin Yoga for Nervous System Support in that it is women’s health–focused, as we focus on common experiences during this life stage such as disrupted sleep, changes in energy, temperature regulation, and nervous system sensitivity.

Where You Spend Your Energy Matters
In Chinese medicine, Jing is referred to as Essence and is closely associated with the Kidney system. It’s often described as our deepest reserve supporting growth, reproduction, aging, and the body’s capacity to adapt over time. Some aspects of Jing are understood as pre-Heaven (what we’re born with), while others are continually shaped by post-Heaven influences such as digestion, rest, and how the nervous system responds to ongoing stress.
During perimenopause and menopause, this balance becomes more apparent. When sleep is disrupted, digestion is strained, or the nervous system remains in a heightened state, more demand is placed on these deeper reserves. From a TCM perspective, supporting Jing is about improving recovery and reducing unnecessary expenditure.
In the Monday evening Yin Yoga class 630PST, we’ll continue exploring this through practice, with particular attention to digestion and related organ systems that are traditionally involved in supporting post-Heaven Jing. Using slow, supported postures, breath awareness, and simple Chinese medicine principles, the class focuses on nervous system regulation and more sustainable use of energy over time.
