Second Spring brings a 700-year-old practice to the menopause transition — tai chi designed for hot flashes, sleep, mood, bone health, and pelvic care. In Chinese medicine, menopause is called the Second Spring — a renaissance, not a decline. This app brings that philosophy into daily practice: short sessions you can keep, with video instruction for every exercise. ◆ 40 TAI CHI EXERCISES Eight categories, each addressing a specific menopause concern: • Cooling (Hot Flash Relief) — Cooling Breath, Water Hands, Rising Moon, Shade of Tree, Silk Fan • Grounding — Root Stance, Mountain Pose, Embracing Tree, Sinking Roots, Tree in Wind • Hip & Pelvic — Hip Circles, Pelvic Rocks, Seated Butterfly, Hip Swing Flow, Pelvic Floor with Breath • Spine & Core — Spine Spiral, Cloud Hands, Silver Cord, Gentle Twists, Vertical Breath • Weight-Bearing (Bone Density) — Horse Stance Hold, Bow Stance Hold, Step & Hold, Dragon Steps, Iron Feet • Breath & Calm — Dantian Breath, Cooling Exhale 4-8, Heart-Center Breath, Moon Breath, Three-Part Breath • Flow & Vitality — Cloud Hands Flow, White Crane, Wild Horse, Sunrise Sequence • Evening & Restorative — Settling Down, Moon Salutation, Seated Restorative, Closing with Gratitude ◆ 8 DAILY ROUTINES • Hot Flash Relief — 5 minutes to cool and settle when a hot flash rises • Morning Vitality — wake the body, move the breath, set the day • Evening Settle — unwind the day with gentle restorative movement • Sleep Prep — slow the breath, soften the body, invite sleep • Mood Reset — ground when the day feels bigger than you do • Pelvic & Hip Care — mobility, softness, attention to the pelvic floor • Bone Builder — weight-bearing tai chi for lifelong bone strength • Full Body 15 — a complete session ◆ 5 GUIDED PROGRAMS • Second Spring Foundations (14 days) — the essential practice, one idea per day • Reclaim Sleep (21 days) — nightly tai chi for better rest • Cool & Calm (14 days) — daily cooling for hot flashes and anxious days • Stronger Bones (28 days) — weight-bearing tai chi for lifelong bone health • Hips & Heart (21 days) — open the hips, soften the heart ◆ FOR PERIMENOPAUSE, MENOPAUSE, AND POSTMENOPAUSE The journey lasts years. The practice adapts. Seated options throughout — for low-energy days. ◆ SECOND SPRING PREMIUM Second Spring requires a subscription after a 7-day free trial.
