Well Woman Yoga for Menopause, events and CPD

Well Woman Yoga for Menopause - Educate, Empower, Embrace

Well Woman and Menopause Yoga classes and mini retreats are for women of any age interesting in maintaining their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. 

Some women experience menopause during their teens, while for others it might not be until their mid fifties.  Whilst some women experience few, if any symptoms, for others the hormonal changes can wreck havoc with their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.  

Yoga can offer useful techniques to support women through these changes, and the support from other women in our women's circles can be invaluable.  The breathing techniques we learn in yoga classes may help with hot flushes, anxiety and insomnia to name but a few of the symptoms.  The physical movements of a yoga class might improve joint, muscle and bone health.  

Our mini retreats always begin with a womens circle - an opportunity to talk freely about your concerns, whilst supporting one another.  Many women find reassurance in our circles, leaving the event knowing that they are not the only one and they are not going mad.

Time spent in relaxation is invaluable in helping to cope with what for many women can be a challenging experience, giving us the tools and skills we need to move into a healthy, happy post menopause !

Monks Cottage Sanctuary, Eastham, Wirral, is a lovely venue, a real oasis of calm with a scenic garden and great facilities.

Kate trained in menopause yoga with Petra Coveney in 2020, and Francoise Freedman from Birthlight in 2021.

  • Simply Be - a womens day retreat

    How often do you get the opportunity to Simply Be ? Most of the time we are producing or consuming (even if that consuming is watching tv).
