Menopause Workshop - reenergise for your Second Spring

In Menopause Yoga we associate Winter with menopause and Second Spring with your post menopause (when you no longer have a menstrual cycle). Spring is naturally the season of growth and renewal as we emerge from late Winter. But many women going through the menopause become stuck in the Wintering hibernation state and feel exhausted by fatigue - an extreme physical tiredness and a mental or spiritual weariness. 

This is not surprising considering the events of the past two years that haave severely affected our nervous system and, as a result, our endocrine hormone balance.

This 3-hour workshop led by Petra Coveney - senior teacher, trainer, and author of 'Menopause Yoga - a Holistic Guide to Supporting Women Through Their Menopause Journey,' will give you the advice and guidance you need to boost your health and wellbeing, refind that ellusive energy, and practice a 90 minute Menopause Yoga session to help lift a low mood, stimulate your sluggish digestion, build bone density, cardio heart strength, resilience and alleviate brain fog.
