Hot genius Catherine la O’ guides us through how yoga can help us navigate wtfopause with really useful tips on choosing a class for the moment you are in, and making your practice your own, even as a beginner. Catherine has generously shared some practices for this page with us, and this interview will give you insight into how to use them.

Have you ever had one of those days where everything is getting on your nerves and you just can't seem to get your mood right? This class was made for those days. In the first part, we will get moving to get back into your body and work off that frustrated energy. At the end you of class you will be ready to settle down in a nice comfy restorative pose to bring your nervous system back to center.

This class is perfect for those days when you feel deep body WTFatigue. There is little to no movement in Restorative Yoga. You are invited to settle into reclined postures (usually 3-4 poses within a class period) using the support of props for long-hold times (anywhere from 5-20 minutes). You will be guided through fundamental breath awareness (pranayama) and meditation (presence) to foster a gradual and deep release of physical, emotional, and mental tensions. In this class, you'll get some love to your sore legs and feet, relief to your back body, and quiet time to breathe and be still.

Having problems sleeping? Try this restorative yoga class where you will be put in comfy resting poses on the floor supported by props and at the end guided through a Yoga Nidra ("yogic sleep") practice to promote healthy sleep.
