Yoga beneficial for midlife physical and brain fitness

Yoga Makes you Strong

Yoga regulates the nervous system, lowering hot flashes triggering stress hormones like cortisol. Yoga boosts mood by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and improves sleep quality.

Weight bearing poses not only combat muscle atrophy,  they strengthen bones and reduce osteoporosis risk. Inversions stimulate endocrine glands and effectively disrupt cortisol’s impact on estrogen/ progesterone imbalance.

Meditation and mindfulness reduce stress and increase executive function

“Mindfulness is your brain’s bicep curl.”

Meditation and mindfulness reduce the stress hormone, cortisol.

It activates the part of the brain responsible for focus and willpower, stimulates neuroplasticity by restoring the protein for the nervous system (BDNF)  and reverse estrogen-related deficits such as  brain fog, memory lapses, pre frontal cortex weakening.

Results? Increasing executive function, and improving emotional resilience.
