Our community will be a group of up to eight women and the course tutors. 

Each Monday, we will meet in circle to discuss our "wins" for the week. Each week, there will be a key host or a guest teacher who will share useful information and lead a group practice, and be available to ask any questions you may have. You will not need to bring any special equipment with you, as all equipment for yoga will be provided, although you are welcome to bring your own. We will sit in chairs unless we're doing a yoga or other movement practice.

There will be some discussion as a whole group, in small groups and in pairs. You won't be expected to speak in the whole group unless you want to, and you'll have plenty of time to discuss any issues you wish to either in smaller groups or one to one with one of the tutors. You won't be expected to share anything or do anything that makes you feel at all uncomfortable - you are in control.

Course content:

Bi-weekly Yoga Nidra sessions led by Morven. Yoga nidra is widely used by women in their menopause transition and anecdotal evidence states that it has helped women to sleep better and reduced hot flushes and night sweats. Deep relaxation has been shown to reduce stress hormone cortisol and promote feel-good oxytocin which has a positive effect on sex hormones and menopause symptoms.

Bi-weekly Menopause Yoga sessions led by Morven - yoga to minimise symptoms and keep muscle, brain, bone and digestion healthy through the changes. During the sessions Morven will share valuable information about what your changing body needs regarding movement and relaxation.
