In this menopause yoga for hot flushes workshop we’ll explore the physiology of what’s going on, and the triggers that can aggravate these intense symptoms.

Hot flushes are the most common menopause symptom. Symptoms can vary from a mild glow to an endless torrent of sweat, and for some, it can cause insomnia, disrupt work and destroy confidence. Hot emotions are also common and, when rages seem to appear out of nowhere, they can feel bewildering to you and those around you.

To coincide with World Menopause Day on the 18th October this workshop will offer a toolkit of techniques, guidance, reflection and support to help you move through your menopause journey with ease and confidence. It will provide an enjoyable and safe space where women can come together and share their experiences, laugh and embrace the changes while also learning from one another.

Beginners to experienced yoga students are all welcome.

This workshop will include:
• An introduction to the stages of menopause and how hormone changes
affect our body and mind.
• A safe and supportive women’s circle.
• A yoga practice especially designed to soothe hot flushes and hot emotions, including breathing techniques, gentle vinyasa flow, restorative yoga and mindful meditation practices.
• Journaling and self-reflection.
• Handouts
