⁣
Estrogen controls heat regulation, mood, and sleep. However, during perimenopause estrogen drops significantly, making it difficult to manage these bodily processes. ⁣
⁣
As a result, our bodies lose control for a bit, while they sort through the changes.⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠?⁣
⁣
Lack of esrogen increases activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), also known as Fight or Flight, which cause symptoms like hot flashes. However, if you learn to calm the SNS you can slow down the severity and frequency of hot flashes —WIN!⁣

Hot yoga trains your body to cool itself more effectively, resulting In Improved thermal regulation, in higher temperatures.⁣

The better your body learns to cool itself down during hot yoga—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦—the easier it does so in everyday life, making hot flashes far more manageable.⁣

Ever wonder why life feels a little lighter after a yoga class? Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:⁣
⁣
😮‍💨 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲, shifting you from fight-or-flight to deep relaxation. This calms your mind, sharpens your focus, and opens the door for emotional release.⁣
⁣
⚡️𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 to your organs, helping your body detox and supporting healthy lymph drainage—so you feel less sluggish and more energized.⁣
⁣
🔥 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 (thermogenesis), increasing circulation and kicking off a powerful hormonal response.⁣
⁣
🌟 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁, reducing stress and clearing your mind. Endorphins surge, bringing euphoria and resilience.⁣
⁣
🌟 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 as you hold challenging poses, giving you motivation and a sense of accomplishment. Serotonin soothes inflammation, boosting your confidence and composure.⁣
⁣
🌟 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, while oxytocin fosters connection and trust, making you feel part of a community.⁣
⁣
💞 All these hormones work together to leave you feeling 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, and 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁—while the physical movement keeps your body strong and healthy.⁣
⁣
By working the body, we reset the mind—giving ourselves exactly what we need.⁣

💦 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗥𝗬—𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 😌⁣
⁣
𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘⁣
⁣
𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 aren’t just in your mind—they 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, too. Our bodies can hold onto emotions long after our minds have moved on.⁣
⁣
💥 Fear and trauma often settle in the lower back and hips⁣
💥 Grief and sadness linger in the chest and upper back.⁣
💥 Anger and frustration show up in the shoulders.⁣
⁣
Through poses like wheel, frog, child’s pose, and fish pose, 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 what our minds can’t always let go of.⁣
⁣
𝗩𝗔𝗚𝗨𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗫𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡⁣
⁣
The vagus nerve runs from your brainstem to your abdomen and plays a huge role in how you process emotions. 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽, 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 “𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀” 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲.⁣
⁣
As you inhale, your heart rate rises slightly; as you exhale, it slows down. This natural rhythm—called Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA)—is amplified by slow, controlled breaths, signaling your body to stay calm, even under stress.⁣
⁣
𝗠𝗬𝗢𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘⁣
⁣
Fascia is the connective tissue that weaves through and around your spine, storing emotional memories.⁣
⁣
𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄, 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀—𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘁-𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀—𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 in the fascia. This can trigger emotional releases: tears, laughter, sighs, and that unmistakable feeling of lightness.⁣
⁣
This is why so many yogis leave practice feeling lighter, both physically and emotionally.⁣

⁣
We get it—hot yoga can sound intimidating. ⁣
⁣
The heat, the sweat, the unfamiliar moves... it’s natural to feel a little nervous. ⁣
⁣
But here’s the truth: most 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 leave feeling 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱, and 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 of what they’ve accomplished.⁣
⁣
Take it from Carmen, a first-timer who was unsure but gave it a shot:⁣
⁣
“I decided to try something new and chose Go Yoga Express. I’m 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! Yes, it’s hot but it’s different somehow—you’re 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 and afterwards you 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁. Plus you’re made to 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 and 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 regardless of your ability—I’m definitely a novice.”⁣
⁣
At Go Yoga Express, we create a 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 where every beginner is encouraged to move at their own pace and discover the surprising benefits of the heat. ⁣
⁣
You’ll feel your 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗽, your 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁, and your 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄—all in a welcoming, no-judgment environment.⁣
⁣
