The build-up to Christmas can be hectic and stressful, and the thought of carving out a full hour for a yoga class (or any workout) when there’s so much to do can just add to the pressure. 

This is the 2nd in my 3-part series to help you cope with the challenges of the festive season. I’m releasing them on Thursdays through December or you can listen to all of them straight away, by signing up at www.TheHappyMenopause.com

In this episode, I chat with menopause yoga expert Libby Stevenson, who’s full of tips to help us stay calm and balanced during this busy time of year.

Libby shares simple, discreet yoga stretches and breathing techniques that you can do at your desk or even in the supermarket queue. No one will notice, and you’ll get the lift you need to manage looming deadlines or tackle festive tasks. We cover a series of 2-minute tips to target everything from back ache to insomnia, as well as how to manage overwhelm and find calm and balance. There are some brilliant quick wins here that suit everyone, whether you’re new to yoga or an old hand at the practice. 

This episode is full of practical advice. and I love how simple and discreet Libby’s suggestions are. I’m sure you’ll find them useful!
