Is yoga good for low libido during perimenopause?

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

The key with yoga for low libido is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when low libido 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 low libido 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 low libido than occasional intense sessions.
