All our studio classes are livestreamed as well, so you can also follow the classes live online, for those who cannot make it to the studio or live outside Amsterdam.

The Menopause Yoga classes are specifically designed for women in the menopause (voor vrouwen in de overgang). We focus on yoga- and other fitness practices that prevent or bring relieve to typical pre- and post menopausal complaints on the physical, mental, and emotional level. Next to the physical practices we also include stress-reduction techniques like breathing exercises and meditation. This class will bring (hormonal) balance, fitness, strength & power, as well as deep relaxation to the pre- and post menopausal body. Sometimes these classes are referred to as "Hormone Yoga", but in our Menopause classes we actually go further than that, as we not only seek for hormonal balance, but also train the menopausal body to become strong and fit, to overcome typical complaints like weight-increase, joint-sensitivity, and weaker muscle- and bone structures due to collagen loss.

The Menopause Yoga classes are therapeutic. We work on a wide range of pre- and post menopausal complaints women can experience, such as:

  • Concentration problems (moeite met concentreren)
  • Headaches & Migraines (hoofdpijn & migraine)
  • Fatigue (moeheid)
  • Insomnia (slapeloosheid, slaapstoornissen)
  • Higher Stress Sensitivity (hogere stressgevoeligheid)
  • Anxiety & Depression (gevoelens van angst en onrust & depressie)
  • Irritability (hogere mate van prikkelbaarheid)
  • Mood swings (stemmingswisselingen)
  • Hot flushes (opvliegers)
  • Night sweats (nachtzweten)
  • Loss of libido, vaginal dryness (afname libido, vaginale droogheid)
  • Weight gain (gewichtstoename)
  • Digestive problems (problemen met de spijsvertering)
  • Incontinence (incontinentie, urineverlies)
  • Irregular Periods (onregelmatige menstruatie)
  • Breast pain (pijnlijke borsten)
  • Irregular Heartbeat (onregelmatige hartslag)
  • Higher Blood Pressure (hogere bloeddruk)
  • Muscle pain (spierpijn)
  • Decrease in muscle density & strength (afname van spiermassa en kracht)
  • Joint pain (pijnlijke gewrichten)
  • Osteoporosis (osteoporose, botontkalking), weaker bones (zwakkere botten)
  • Tendinitis (peesontstekingen) & Tendinosis (tendinose, afname peeskwaliteit)
  • Tingling Extremities (tintelingen in de ledematen)
  • Overall Body Stiffness (algehele stijfheid van het lichaam)

The classes are bi-lingual (English/Dutch).

The Menopause Yoga group classes are a great way to find your support system, connecting with other women with similar complaints and experiences. Furthermore, if you have serious menopausal complaints that require extra personal attention, you can also book Corine for a Menopause Yoga Private Session, in the studio or at home. A customized therapeutic menopausal program of exercises will be compiled for you that helps you with your complaints, and you can then also do the exercises at home to work on your continuous well-being.
