Menopause
Empower and Embrace
Are you going through the menopause? Do you understand what is happening to your body and the symptoms you could experience? Perhaps you have been experiencing hot sweats, rage, brain fog, anxiety? Menopause yoga workshops could be just what you need. Each workshop helps you navigate through different symptoms you may be experiencing, offering you different techniques including breathing practices, yoga poses and restorative poses to give you the tools to help you manage these main symptoms of menopause.
If you are an employer and you need to offer support and guidance to women who are going/gone through the menopause, I can come into the workplace and run classes.
I offer a 10 month menopause workshop course exploring key symptoms of menopause. Each month we will look in detail at the symptom and then give you the tools to help tackle it. The workshops will offer a safe space to 5 ladies who will share this 10 month journey together. We will share experiences, listen and be heard in our Women's Circle at the start of each workshop before delving further into the theme of the month. Themes will include:
-
Hot Flushes and Night Sweats - the workshop will encompass cooling breath techniques and cooling sequences. We will have discussions to help understand triggers, as well as lifestyle and diet tips to reduce hot flushes.
-
Release the Rage - Rage and Irritability - the yoga practice this month will include breath awareness and grounding sequences. We will look at coping strategies and holistic approaches to this symptom.
-
Anxiety and Overwhelm - calming restorative yoga poses, seated meditation, wellbeing guidance and gorgeous restorative positions all to help address and tackle this common symptom.

The sense of community, trust and companionship, we will gain from spending this quality time together will enable us to see and feel real results.
