Strength in menopause is about more than looking toned.
It’s about supporting your bones, protecting your balance, improving posture, strengthening your core, and helping your body feel capable again.
These 10 yoga poses are some of my favorites for building strength in midlife:
Chair
Warrior II
Crescent Lunge
Half Moon
Plank
Side Plank
Boat
Standing Hand-to-Big-Toe
Dolphin
Bridge
Lower body. Core. Balance. Upper body. Posture.
You don’t have to do them perfectly. You just have to practice them consistently.
Yoga can absolutely help build and maintain strength, but it shouldn’t be your only form of strength training. As we move through menopause, lifting weights is still the best way to support muscle mass, bone health, and long-term function.
