Menopause marks a powerful transition in a woman’s life, but it’s often accompanied by physical and emotional changes that can feel overwhelming. From hormonal fluctuations and hot flashes to fatigue, brain fog, and changes in metabolism, this stage of life can challenge even the most resilient women.
At Soteria Pilates Winter Garden, we believe this season should not be faced with frustration, but with knowledge, support, and movement that empowers. By combining the strength of Pilates with expert education on women’s health, we’re helping women feel confident and resilient through every stage.
That’s why we’re thrilled to host a special workshop on Friday, October 10th from 6:30–7:30pm with Dr. Ben Lerner of Alliance Regenerative Medicine in Clermont, FL. He’ll be leading an important discussion on women’s hormones and gut health — two areas that directly influence how women experience menopause and beyond.
Why Hormones & Gut Health Matter in Menopause
During menopause, hormone shifts can impact sleep, mood, energy, and bone density. At the same time, gut health plays a critical role in nutrient absorption, inflammation, and even mental clarity. When these two systems are out of balance, symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or brain fog become harder to manage.
Dr. Lerner will share strategies for creating balance from within, giving women practical tools to support their bodies during this important life transition.
How Pilates Fits Into the Journey
While medical and lifestyle support are key, movement is one of the most powerful tools women have during menopause. Pilates is designed to be adaptable and safe, making it ideal for women of all fitness levels. At Soteria Pilates Winter Garden, our fascia-informed approach focuses on whole-body health and mindful movement.
Here’s how Pilates supports women in menopause:
- Builds Bone Strength: Resistance-based movements on the Reformer and Tower help maintain bone density and combat osteoporosis risk.
- Supports Pelvic Floor & Core: Targeted exercises strengthen the deep stabilizing muscles, which are often impacted by hormonal shifts.
- Eases Stress & Improves Sleep: Breath-focused movement calms the nervous system, reducing anxiety and promoting better rest.
- Keeps Joints Mobile: Gentle, low-impact exercises protect the joints while encouraging flexibility and stability.
- Restores Energy & Confidence: Many women find that consistent practice helps them feel more vibrant, connected, and in control of their bodies.
