Hi, I'm Vanya Panamska, founder of Leela Vaya
On a Mission to Help Women Restore Hormonal Balance
When hormonal changes during perimenopausal or menopausal make you feel like a stranger in your own body, you don't have to accept it as your new normal.
You can restore, without medication, your body's natural rhythm and feel like yourself again without sacrificing your career or relationships.

Hormonal Balance Starts Here
At Leela Vaya, I combine my extensive corporate leadership background with ancient practices like Hormone Yoga Therapy, Iyengar Yoga or Ayurveda wisdom, to help over 700 women to restore their hormonal balance, naturally, without medication.
I've refined these simple but powerful techniques to fit your busy life.
You can practice in the comfort of your home.

From Personal Health Project to Life Mission
Ten years ago, at 35, breast cancer changed my path completely. I lost my breast, my cycle, and my sense of being a woman. Through my search for natural healing, I discovered Hormone Yoga Therapy (HYT) during my treatment in Austria.


After just two weeks of practice, my cycle returned. This powerful experience led me to train directly with Dina Rodriguez, the 97-year-old creator of HYT. Now I combine this proven 35-year practice with my background in mindfulness and Ayurveda to teach women how to restore their hormonal balance naturally.

FAQs
Find answers to your questions about hormone yoga therapy and well-being practices.
Hormone yoga is a specialized practice designed to support hormonal balance in women. It combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and mindfulness to address hormonal fluctuations. I wrote an full article called What is Hormone Yoga Therapy to answer the question in detail.
The results speak for themselves. Hormone Yoga Therapy, developed by Dinah Rodrigues, is designed to naturally reactivate hormone production through specific dynamic yoga sequences and breathing techniques. A study by the American Menopause Association and Dinah Rodriguez showed remarkable improvements in women aged 50-60 who practiced HYT for just 30 minutes, three times weekly. After three months, their hormone levels increased by 154% on average. Even better, all participants reported their menopause symptoms either completely disappeared or became minimal - without medication. The study confirmed that HYT effectively reactivates hormone production and brings emotional balance. It's particularly effective for younger women experiencing premature menopause, helping restore hormone levels and often fertility. The practice also improves common concerns like hair loss and skin elasticity.
Absolutely! Women of all ages can benefit from HYT. I've worked with women in their 30s experiencing premature menopause, as well as those in their later years. In fact, HYT's creator, Dina Rodriguez, is 97 years old and maintains active practice with excellent hormone levels.
Not at all. Hormone Yoga Therapy is designed to meet you exactly where you are; whether you’re just beginning your transition or have been in menopause for years. This practice gently supports your body in finding its natural rhythm again. It’s never too late to bring more energy, emotional balance, and inner harmony into your life. Many women in their 50s, 60s, and even beyond experience meaningful improvements from this practice.
It depends on your unique situation.
If your cycle stopped due to a complete depletion of your ovarian reserve (a natural part of menopause), it’s unlikely to return—and that’s okay. The goal of HYT is not to reverse menopause but to bring more ease, vitality, and well-being into this new phase of life.
However, if your cycle paused due to hormonal imbalances, stress, or medical interventions, there is a real possibility that with regular practice, it may return. Many women practicing HYT have restored their cycle, improved fertility, or simply found more emotional balance and energy—even without a full return of menstruation.
Ayurveda literally means "science of life." This 5,000-year-old healing system comes from India, making it one of the world's oldest medical traditions. What makes Ayurveda extraordinary is its timeless relevance. It's not just another wellness trend that will disappear next year.
Unlike modern medicine, which often follows a "one size fits all" approach, Ayurveda recognizes that each of us is completely unique. You have your own special energy pattern that affects everything from how you digest food to how you handle stress. I wrote an comprenhensive article about What Ayurveda is, click here to read.
Yes, Absolutely! Hormone Yoga Therapy can be practiced by women of all levels, including complete beginners.
