"Excellent class. I appreciated the restorative nature of the poses. At the end, I like the different poses held for a time while breathing much better than sitting in meditation"
Caro G., Seattle

Empowering People at All Stages of Reproductive Aging
Meant to Pause Yoga is dedicated to providing supportive yoga classes and research-based workshops to educate, empower, and embrace the opportunities of the menopause transition. My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can find strength, support, and knowledge to navigate this transformative stage in life.
While a natural aging event for most people with female sex hormones, the menopause is a massive biological, neurological, endocrinological and psycho-social transition. Every person’s journey through menopause is also unique to them.
I teach menopause yoga through the lens of being a cis queer white woman and welcome all lived experiences, along with diverse gender and sexual identities.
