ABSTRACT
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation at the end of reproductive life and postmenopause is the phase of life that comes after the menopause which begins 12 months after last menstruation. Changing hormone level during menopause may affect physical and emotional health. Stress as the response of the body to internal and external threats and relevant consequences potentially exacerbate the menopausal symptoms which in turn affect their work performance, relationships, standard of living and quality of life.Stress can lead to physical and mental symptoms in postmenopausal women. Yoga is good at addressing the individual at physical, psychological and social levels. In yoga, asanas and pranayama improve muscle strength, flexibility, blood circulation, oxygen uptake and hormone function. Relaxation induced by meditation helps to stabilize the autonomic nervous system. Therefore an intervention made in their dinacharya with yoga can assure better quality of life by preserving their health.
