Recovery days aren’t lazy. They’re essential. 👏
Especially for women in perimenopause and post menopause, constantly pushing harder can actually increase stress on the body. When cortisol stays elevated for too long, it can impact sleep, energy, mood, recovery, inflammation, and even hormone balance.
That’s where intentional recovery comes in.
Yoga, mobility work, breath work, walking, and restorative movement help calm the nervous system, support better sleep, reduce stress, and help your body shift out of “fight or flight” mode.
