Menopause: Yoga Practice No.1

Posted on by One comment

I have a new website to run alongside this one. It focuses on women’s health and the different cycles we live with and move through. I know we don’t need to talk about this everyday but we should be able to talk to each other if we need to.

I have posted my first blog about the menopause and yoga. This will be an ongoing series. As I read through different resources, the main self-help is to calm the nervous system and give ourselves permission to do what we would tell our family and friends to do: take time out, do something you love doing, give yourself some space to work out what you need, nourish yourself …

There are plenty of ideas about yoga practice during menopause. I am not sure about particular asanas (postures) stimulating specific endocrine glands but I am sure about the effect on the body, to bring it to a balance and to open the joints and heart. I am sure about the effect of the breath on the mind, head and body. I feel myself move from agitation to stillness when I gift myself the time to pause. I have changed my own practice and am beginning to feel the effects, particularly during the night. The last two nights I haven’t woken until 5 am and I went back to sleep. That’s not happened for a while!

Yoga Study Group: Friday Morning, 13 November

Assuming we are still allowed to meet …

An invitation to meet on a Friday morning every six to eight weeks where we can meet in person to talk about yoga and share practice. I am really happy to be able to teach online but would like to meet in the real world too. I thought this would be a great way to support our online lessons. If it’s popular I will organise to meet more frequently. There is the option to attend online if you would like to come but do not feel comfortable meeting as a group.

Yatton Rugby Club may seem an odd choice of venue but the room is immaculate and private – my parents are involved with the running and upkeep of the club so I feel comfortable and confident that the space is as safe as it can be. With a maximum of six people in the room (including me), we can socially distance, wearing masks when we travel off our mats. There’s a small kitchenette for teas and coffees.

  • Topic: the klesa
  • Cost: Full rate £15 / Lower rate £10

Required: your own yoga mat and face mask. I will provide tea and coffee but if you would prefer to bring your own please do
