Yoga For menopause Saturday, January 18 1:00-4:00pm
MENOPAUSE is one of the most significant times in a woman/person's life. So why don’t we celebrate it? Menopause can and should be a beautiful time in a woman/person’s life. No longer tied to children or family obligations. No longer burdened by periods or worried about getting pregnant. You have accumulated years of experience and wisdom that you now get to pass onto others. You are the revered Queen or Sovereign of goddesses!
This course is designed to bring awareness to this topic, practices that can help alleviate symptoms, and empower individuals in their own health and self-care journey.
We will also create a ritual space for people to talk openly about their experiences, share their wisdom, and to honour and celebrate each other in whatever phase you’re in. This will include a meditation practice to clear away the old you and step fiercely into the NEW YOU!
This workshop is open to ALL - whether you’re not quite there or already past menopause. We all have something to learn and share with each other! No previous yoga experience required. This course can also be beneficial for yoga teachers and anyone wanting to support others in their menopausal journey.
Topics include:
What is menopause and signs you might be there
Common conditions related to menopause such as stress, insomnia, brain fog, restless legs, and those dang hot flashes!
Not so common conditions such as formication (not what you think!) and joint issues
Pelvic floor health & my favorite core strengtheners
How Yoga can help
Other topics including lifestyle, sexuality, the importance of sisterhood and getting support from loved ones
Please dress comfortable for yoga practice, bring yoga mat, water & writing material. You are also encouraged to bring an item/s that can represent letting go of something in the past (can be real item or something to symbolize it), as well as something that can represent what you want to embrace for your future (think new, bold, sexy, etc!)
*This workshop is meant to open dialogue & bring awareness to menopause. In no way is it meant to diagnose, treat or act as medical advice. Each student is encouraged to consult with their health care provider and use their own discretion in deciding what part of the practices would be best for them.
