Something is shifting — and you may not have a word for it yet.
Irregular sleep. Anxiety that comes from nowhere. A body that feels subtly different. A practice that no longer fits quite right.
This is perimenopause. And it can begin years — even a decade — before your final period.
Most of us were never told what to expect. And most of what's offered doesn't come close to honoring the depth of what's actually happening.
I'm hosting Riding the Wave: Yoga for the Stages of Menopause — a one-day yoga therapy immersion on Saturday May 16th, 1–6pm at Green Yogi Studio, Berkeley on MLK.
Through the ancient pañcamaya model we'll map this transition across every layer of your system — body, breath, mind, behavior, and emotional life — and move through it together.
The afternoon is designed for anyone navigating pre-menopause (aka late-reproductive stage or “advanced maternal age”), peri-menopause, or post-menopause.
Is this you?
Or do you know someone who is? Please pass this along.
All are welcome, regardless of how you identify.

Through the lens of yoga therapy and the ancient pañcamaya model — which recognizes five interconnected dimensions of the human system — we'll spend an afternoon mapping this transition honestly, moving through it somatically, and exploring the question that menopause quietly asks of everyone who enters it: Who are you becoming?
This workshop is for you if:
You are in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause
You are a yoga practitioner whose practice feels like it no longer fits
You are a yoga teacher who wants to better understand and serve students in this transition
You are simply ready to stop managing this experience and start inhabiting it
This is not a promise to eliminate symptoms. It is a space to understand what is happening, move with it skillfully, and emerge with tools, clarity, and community.
This workshop welcomes all people navigating the menopausal transition, regardless of how they identify.
Through practice, reflection, and discussion you will be equipped with tools to support strength, adaptability, and a sustainable yoga practice for the long term.
