As I begin yoga teacher training, I’m embracing Mudita—the joy in others’ success. Yoga, Pilates, the OOV, and family connections each support women through menopause and movement challenges, offering strength, stress relief, and shared joy.

Menopause throws a lot of numbers at us—hot flashes, pant sizes, hours of sleep (or not). But the ones that matter? Breath. Movement. Joy. In this post, I share why your second mountain might just start with Pilates, a hike, and maybe a slice of pizza. Retreat details inside—come breathe, laugh, and thrive with me.
