For millions of women, menopause comes with more than just physical changes; it brings silence, stigma, and a quiet sense of loss.
Every woman who has reached this age, knows this all too well. Years of hot flashes, anxiety, and sleepless nights.
Breaking the Silence
Every year, about 47 million women around the world enter menopause. Yet, for many, the experience remains misunderstood, even dismissed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines menopause as the point when menstrual periods stop for at least 12 months, often accompanied by symptoms like mood swings, memory lapses, fatigue, and hot flashes.
All over the world, programs and retreats for menopausal women are springing up to provide community, support and understanding of this critical life phase. Such retreats teaches women to explore relief through yoga, nutrition workshops, weight training, and mental health counseling,
