Power, Pause & Presence: A Menopause Workshop

This first in a series of Menopause workshops offers a compassionate and empowering exploration of the hormonal changes that occur during this midlife transition. Together, we will gently unpack what's happening beneath the surface - how shifts in hormones can affect energy levels, sleep, temperature regulation, joint and muscle aches and emotional wellbeing.

What to expect:

• Evidence-based menopause education
• Women's circle in a supportive environment to connect with like minded women
• Gentle yoga movement specificially designed for women in this life phase to assist with calming the nervous system, easing symptoms, and reconnecting with the wisdom of the body

This workshop is for you if:

• You are experiencing perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause (or think you might be)
• You are feeling disconnected with your changing body and mind and experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, low mood, brain fog, anxiety, sleep disturbance, hot flushes, joint and muscle aches
• You desire a connection with other women to listen, share and create community

What you will learn:

• Gain a clearer picture of the changes happening within your body
• Breathing techniques to help calm the central nervous system and reduce menopausal symptoms
• Gentle and mindful yoga movement, including restful, restorative poses to nourish the body and mind

What you need to bring:

• 2 x blankets

All other props will be provided.
