Jodes Milne 🤍 The Reset Room

As World Menopause Awareness Month comes to a close, let’s keep the conversation going — this transition deserves understanding, not silence. 💛

In my latest blog on The Reset Room, I explore how yoga can support us through menopause — not by fixing it, but by helping us move, breathe, and rest with steadiness through change.

Yoga invites us to reconnect with our bodies, soothe the nervous system, and reclaim ease when things feel unpredictable. It’s one of the simplest, most powerful tools for this stage of life.

If you’ve been wondering, “Is it too late to start?” — it’s never too late. Yoga meets you exactly where you are.

🚨 Exciting Update! 🚨

If you’ve been following This Is Menopause, you know how passionate I am about supporting women through the messy, powerful midlife transition.

Over the past few months, I realised something important:
Menopause support isn’t just about handing women more facts.
It’s about helping us feel at home in our bodies again.
It’s about strength, safety, and support that actually understands women — and allows us to take back ownership of our bodies.

✨ And so… The Reset Room was born ✨

A new space I’ve created for:
🧘‍♀️ Yoga + breathwork designed for midlife bodies
💛 Nervous-system friendly movement
🧠 Evidence-based wellbeing
👭 Connection, compassion & community
🎉 Special events & workshops (including menopause-focused ones!)
🌿 Support for ALL stages of life — with extra love for midlife

📍 I’ll be sharing all upcoming events, classes, and offerings over on my new page:
👉 The Reset Room (please give it a follow!)
The Reset Room Podcast

🌐 And my new website is live: www.resetroom.com.au

This is the next chapter… and I’d LOVE you to come with me.
Thank you for being part of the journey so far — it’s only getting better. 💫

Warmest,

🌼 World Menopause Day 2025: Lifestyle Medicine + Yoga 🌼

This year’s theme is Lifestyle Medicine — recognition that what we eat, how we move, how we sleep and how we manage stress all matter a LOT when it comes to menopause.
https://www.imsociety.org/education/world-menopause-day-2025/

If you’re curious about how yoga fits in, here’s what recent studies show:

• Yoga and gentle movement have been shown to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
• They also support better mood, improved sleep quality, & overall wellbeing.
• Small, consistent practice over time makes a difference.

✨ What you can do this October
Try these lifestyle medicine steps + yoga together:

1. Do yoga/mindful movement 2-3× per week
2. Prioritise sleep: wind-down routines, limited screens
3. Hydrate, nourish with whole foods
4. Practice breath work or meditation for stress relief
5. Connect — community or support — share what you feel

Let’s use this Menopause Awareness Month to lean into practices that put wellbeing back in our hands. Yoga is one of them. Your body, mind, and future self will thank you. 💜

🌿 Thinking about yoga but not sure if it’s for you?

Research shows yoga is more than stretching — it supports both body and mind.
✔️ Improves mood and reduces stress
✔️ Boosts sleep quality
✔️ Helps with flexibility, balance & strength
✔️ Builds resilience to life’s ups and downs

These benefits are powerful at any stage of life, and especially helpful as we move through midlife changes. ✨

With Menopause Awareness Month coming up in October, it’s the perfect time to explore how simple, consistent movement like yoga can become a tool for self-care and wellbeing. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced — just willing to give it a try. 💜

🧘‍♀️ Join me for a class, or start small at home with a few minutes of breath and gentle movement. Your future self will thank you.

💡 New from the Australasian Menopause Society: their latest fact sheet on complementary medicine gives yoga a green light — meaning it’s generally safe, and there’s some evidence it can help ease menopause symptoms.

For many women navigating perimenopause or postmenopause, yoga offers gentle, grounded support to:
🧘‍♀️ ease muscle and joint tension
😌 regulate mood
🛌 support better sleep
🌬️ reduce stress and anxiety

I teach with these needs in mind — inclusive, supportive, beginner-friendly sessions that honour where you’re at and the transitions we move through.
