Abstract

Menopause, a natural transition for women, often brings about a multitude of physical, psychological, and emotional challenges. As life expectancy rises, a significant portion of a woman's life is spent post-menopause. This thesis explores the potential of yoga therapy as a complementary approach to enhance well-being and improve quality of life during this significant phase. It describes IRB research about Yoga Therapy for Menopause- a salutogenic program that aims to create a safe and educational platform for women who are navigating the changes that menopause brings. This research underscores the effectiveness of yoga therapy as a complementary approach to coping with menopausal symptoms. It further emphasizes the importance of creating supportive spaces for women navigating this transition.
