Women's fitness
Original Body Care resourceWritten and reviewed by Mallika Some, instructor at Body Care by Mallika. Open her profile.Menopause and exercise
Exercise during and after menopause supports muscle, bone-loading movement, mood and the kind of facial tone Mallika sees declining in this decade. It does not replace medical care. Body Care classes stay live so load and Face Yoga can be adjusted for hot flushes, joint pain and energy that changes through the week.

Mallika's menopause teaching is practical rather than clinical. She notices thinner skin, less muscle tone in the face, and puffiness from unused facial lymphatics. She puts Face Yoga in the same programme as the body's work so women are not told to choose between a smaller waist and a face that looks more tired than when they began.
Questions students actually ask
Should I avoid heating practices if I flush?
Often yes — say so at the start of class. Live teaching can drop a jump or a long hold. A recorded video cannot see you overheat.
