Yoga and Meditation for Menopause

Am I going Crazy???

That's a thought that's been running through my head over the last few years. I thought maybe I had a thryroid problem as it runs in my family.  So I went and had a hormone panel test and found out that, yes, I am being graced with the presence of menopause.  Not a little.  Full blown.  Thank God for yoga!  Some of my symtoms include insomnia, anxiety, jelly-belly, pain in my lower back, etc.  It is vital to exercise and eat well during menopause.  I find that lifting weights is helping a lot, thanks to the advice of a friend.  But yoga?  Yoga and meditation is incredibly beneficial.  Although the poses leave you feeling wonderful, the philosophy and lifestyle is what keeps my anxiety and insomnia at bay.  I will write more about this soon, but for now, here's a simple pose that can help relieve back pain and stiffness.
