yoga for menopause with joy wolfe

In Asian culture, menopause is called the ‘Second Spring’. Western culture tends to have a bit more of a negative spin on this time of a woman’s life. This series is to ‘open the discussion’ on this topic. ALL are welcome! This series is for younger women to prepare for a healthier menopause in the decades to come, peri-menopausal women, post-menopausal women, and/or their partners to better understand the physical/emotional shifts in their life.

Menopause is different for every single woman. Symptoms (some not so known) will be discussed, what lifestyle changes can ease some of these symptoms, yoga postures and breathing techniques to ease some of the more uncomfortable symptoms (e.g. Sitali breathing for hot flashes, supported Child’s Pose for insomnia).

April 6th- Bed Yoga; 15 minute yoga series to do before getting out of bed in the morning. Healing Goddess Guided Relaxation.

April 13th- Restorative Yoga for Menopause

April 20th- Energizing Yoga for Menopause
