In this episode Gen X journalist Ann Marie McQueen sits down with Niamh Daly, a yoga educator, menopause specialist and the creator of Yoga for Menopause & Beyond teacher training. Based in Ireland, she helps women worldwide navigate perimenopause and postmenopause with evidence-based, body-first yoga practices. Her latest book offers an empowering, realistic approach to movement for midlife women.

💬 Top Quote from Niamh Daly:
"Perimenopause isn’t just a time of low capacity – it’s a time of true capacity. Before menopause, reproductive hormones have been making us tolerate living beyond our actual capacity."

Highlights:

• How traditional yoga doesn’t always serve midlife women

•  The overlooked late reproductive stage and what it means for your body

• Hormones aren’t the whole story. Why your nervous system is just as important as estrogen.

• Strength training vs. yoga for bone health – what actually works? 

• Forget the ‘successful aging’ hype. How extreme fitness goals are setting unrealistic standards for midlife.

• How perimenopause forces you to reassess your life

• Emotional releases in yoga. Why we cry on the mat—and how instructors should handle it.

• Why self-advocacy in yoga class matters more than ever
