Key Points
•Menopause is a time for rejuvenation, and for paying special attention to the body's needs; the heat of transition can be calmed with cooling foods, calming practices, plenty of rest, and conscious activity that nourishes the body, mind and soul
•Daily yoga and vigorous exercise will activate and stimulate the glandular system to trigger the body's natural ability to find balance during hormonal fluctuations; yoga exercises release tension, massage and support the liver, and work the whole body
