What the evidence says
This is a restorative yoga pose, and the evidence for restorative postures is mostly in self-reported calm and reduced muscular tension rather than large trial data specific to menopause. It's a low-risk, low-effort way to force ten minutes of stillness into a day, which is the honest reason it's here.
