Harmony sits down with Siobhan Fitzgerald, a dedicated yoga teacher and breathwork practitioner whose work explores the ancient wisdom of Pranayama and its profound relevance to modern life—especially for women in midlife.
Siobhan shares how traditional Pranayama practices and kriyas can support women’s health through perimenopause and beyond, helping to regulate digestion, balance hormones, calm the nervous system, and heal emotional trauma.
She and Harmony dive into how breath becomes a pathway for energy management and how subtle energetic shifts through practice can lead to increased stability, vitality, and inner resilience.
With warmth and clarity, Siobhan discusses the importance of working with a teacher, understanding energetic imprints, and reclaiming embodied practice as a form of sacred remembrance and healing.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why Pranayama is so effective for emotional regulation and hormonal health
How specific breathing practices support digestion and nervous system function
The difference between general breathwork and prescriptive yogic Pranayama
Why perimenopause is a powerful time for spiritual practice and transformation
The energetic imprints that live in our tissues—and how breath can help release them
How kriyas and subtle energetics offer tools for trauma healing and vitality
