About

Parallel to the increase in life expectancy by years, the population of women living in the post-menopausal period is also increasing. In order to have a healthy menopause, which is an important part of women's life, it is thought that the adoption of yoga practice without health risks by women and its implementation as a lifestyle may be effective in reducing the symptoms of menopause experienced by women. In line with this information, it is aimed to determine the effect of yoga training on menopausal symptoms. The research will be carried out with menopausal women between the ages of 40-60 in Famagusta region. Women will be divided into two groups as intervention and control. Personal information form and menopause rating scale will be used in the research. The intervention group will be given yoga practice two days a week for 10 weeks. Menopause rating scale will be applied to the intervention and control group before and after the research.
