MenoYoga Class - Back Pain

Join Petra as she guides you though a slow somatic Menopause Yoga practice for lower back pain & sciatica. This class includes breathwork, gentle spinal movement, restorative yoga and mindfulness meditation. Read the Health Waiver. Always consult medical professional before embarking on exercise.

Symptom:

During perimenopause and menopause, the decline in Oestrogen can cause dehydration of tissues and degeneration of spinal discs, weakening the structural support of the lower back. As these intervertebral discs wear down or bulge, they can pinch or irritate the sciatic nerve, triggering sharp, radiating pain down the buttocks and legs called Sciatica. Oestrogen helps regulate your central nervous system so the decline in this hormone, muscle spasm or discomfort in your lower back may affect your sleep and trigger systemic inflammation. This in turn may heightens overall nerve sensitivity, making your body much more reactive to physical strain and discomfort.
