Menopause Yoga Teacher Training JUNE 2021

THIS COURSE IS NOW FULLY BOOKED - Please book an ONLINE course in JULY or NOVEMBER or Join Petra Coveney in-person for a  course in AUGUST, SEPTEMBER or OCTOBER, 2021.

This is the 2nd MY course to be open to ALL teachers, including those who are not yet in a stage of menopause.

Please note: The difference between this course and the others is that it is focussed on professional rather than personal development.

The women's circle discussions will be broader and focus on supporting other women in menopause. It will qualify you to teach both MY specific classes as well as incorprate menopause asana poses, breathwork and meditation in your general yoga classes.

Women going through menopause benefit from attending yoga classes with other women who are on the menopause journey so that there is a shared experience and sense of community. 

However, many women prefer to attend general yoga classes and women in their 30s-40s may not realise that the are experiencing perimenopause symptoms. They may attribute these to dauily living and stress. 

This course helps you to become more aware of the symptons and signs of menopause in your students so that you can support these women by offering modifications for yoga poses and props. many women feel a snese of embarrassment or even shame if they have hot flushes, but you can make them feel relaxed and welcome in menopause-supportive environments. 

On this course, you will learn the 4x main MY yoga sequences for groups of symptoms (Hot flushes and Menorage/ Anxiety, Brian Fog and Fatigue/ Lethargy, Low Mood and Sluggish Digestion), as well as a specialist class to improve Sleep, and modifications for both preventing osteoporosis and working with osteopenia (weakened bones) which can affect 1:2 women in post menopause when their bone density to deplete.

• The course includes expert advice from a Menopause specialist GP from Newson Health. She will talk about symptoms, the health risks of post menopause and pros and cons of Hormone Replacement Therapy.

• Trainees have access to a library of Guest Speaker video talks on Nutrition, Aromatherapy, Qigong, Journal writing, Women's Circles and PDF handouts that are downloadable from the Menopause-Yoga website.

Graduates from the course can chose to join an international directory of qualified MY teachers hosted on the www.menopause-yoga.com website,  opt in to join a Facebook group and WhatsApp chat group for your cohort.

The aim of this course, as with the others, is support you on your menopause journey - preparing those who have not yet started it - and to Educate and Empower you as yoga teachers to Embrace the menopause as a positove opportunity for self insight and growth.
