Many women feel isolated and alone when they go through the various stages of menopause. Our menopause awareness workshops give women the opportunity to share experiences, learn, make informed choices, as well as feel a sense of community. And without the pressure of contributing if they don’t wish to.
This workshop includes:
-Perimenopause and menopause - What’s the difference and what are they?
-Symptoms - Most of us have heard about (or experienced!) hot flushes but what are the other symptoms that are often overlooked?
-An introduction to HRT (hormone replacement therapy) – science-based evidence, plus alternative/natural remedies
-A specifically tailored yoga practice to support women going through perimenopause and the menopause. This will include breathing techniques and mindful meditation exercises to help manage some of the main symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, lack of concentration and low mood.
-Delicious and nutritional snacks to finish.

37 degrees – hot enough to have a good sweat, but not so hot that it will leave you feeling faint.
