Is yoga good for brain fog during perimenopause?

Exercise

Yoga can be helpful for managing brain fog during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in brain fog.

The key with yoga for brain fog is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when brain fog is more severe, a gentler approach to yoga may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Yoga specifically may help with brain fog through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular yoga, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for brain fog than occasional intense sessions.

PeriPlan's day-type system adapts your workout recommendations based on how you feel, so your yoga sessions are always matched to your readiness level.
