Birthlight Well Woman Yoga for the Menopause (£0)

As a teacher or a professional, you may want to use this course to support your own menopausal journey.

As in all Birthlight courses, participants experience and learn to teach enjoyable yet effective practices that are accessible to all women.

The course includes:

• An integrated knowledge of physiology of the menopause as a process that ends women’s reproductive cycle but that can help them renew themselves in their lifecycle, whether they are mothers or not.
• Yoga Asanas for alignment, grounding and centring through physical changes: strengthening, bone-building and stamina-creating practices.
• Yoga breathing practices that help regularise hormonal fluctuations and promote balance
• Practical Yoga Sequences that women can use at home to cope with fatigue, adrenal depletion, hot flushes and insomnia
• Pelvic floor yoga the Birthlight way with special applications for the menopause (with bandhas)
• Pelvic and self-integrity (pelvic floor, lower chakras and the Hara life-centre) with yoga 
• Less known yoga practices to engage with emotions and access calm inner strength: transforming anger and grief with heart connection 
• Playful and creative flow practices to enliven Shakti – the hub of primordial feminine creative energy in women’s lives – during menopause years.
• Pathways to relaxation to soothe the nervous system, from quick easy practices to an exploration of deeper relaxation in restorative poses. 
• An opportunity to share with other women about the experience of the menopause in an honest and non-judgemental environment.

Belinda Staplehurst and Françoise Freedman come together to jointly tutor this Birthlight short course, drawing on their long experience of teaching yoga therapeutically for women’s wellness through life.
