Yoga For Menopause

Each one of us experiences perimenopause and menopause in our own ways with our own set of symptoms which can fluctuate and change over time. We can manage this by taking time to look after ourselves and listen to our bodies – tuning in to what we need when. In this workshop we will take you through two different types of asana (movement) practices as well as give you some breathing exercises to help you manage different scenarios.

The first half of the workshop will be a vinyasa, flowing class where Cathryn will take you through a set of movements to build strength and resilience in body and mind. This can be helpful to mobilise energy and burn off heat which we may need as cortisol levels rise. It is also a great form of resistance training which can help keep our bones and joints healthy.

Perimenopause and menopause can cause us to feel physically and mentally hot: flashes of extreme heat paired with seething rage. Our stress hormones can feel off the scale and our nervous system out of whack. Restorative yoga can give us the space to finally get into a deeply relaxed state and help shift us from the fight-or-flight mode to the rest-and-digest mode.

Kat will guide you through a restorative yoga practice that will encourage feelings of coolness and rest. We will use props such as bolsters, bricks, blocks and blankets to support our bodies as we stay in each pose for a few minutes. She will also guide you through some breath practice that can help balance the nervous system.

We will incorporate a Sharing Circle into the session with an opportunity for participants to share and talk about the perimenopause/menopause if they wish. We will end with a soothing cup of balancing herbal tea by medical herbalist Vicky Jennings.
