Menopause can bring symptoms that are hard to live with day to day. Pilates helps turn this stage into a time of care and balance.

What Pilates can ease

  • Hot flushes and night sweats: breathing exercises and movements that get the circulation going help reduce the discomfort.
  • Anxiety and insomnia: controlled movements and stretching bring relaxation, so you sleep better and keep calm.
  • Loss of strength and muscle mass: Pilates strengthens the whole body and keeps muscles and bones healthy, which matters most at this stage.
  • Joint pain: stretching and mobility exercises release tension in the joints and improve posture.

How we do it at Breath

In every class the instructor follows you and adapts the exercises to your condition and to how you feel that day. Turn the challenges of menopause into well-being.
