Embracing the Shared Journey: Menopause Yoga
Every woman's journey is unique, yet there's a shared path we walk when it comes to life's transitions. One such profound transition is menopause. In the spirit of Menopause Awareness Month, let's explore together this shared yet deeply personal journey and the empowering practice of Menopause Yoga.
A Shared Yet Unique Transition
Our individual experiences of the world are unique, and yet, there are threads that connect us all. Menopause is one such thread. It isn’t merely a biological phase, but what Petra Coveney describes as a "bio-psychosocial spiritual journey". Menopause Yoga approaches this transition not as a challenge to be overcome but as a shared exploration of what lies ahead. Just as with any yoga practice, it isn’t about reaching a destination, but about embracing the journey itself.
Delving Deeper with Yogacampus
Petra is leading two menopause teacher trainings on 3rd October and 2nd November 2023. We invite you to explore this very popular blended course, combining live online sessions with self-paced learning. The course isn’t just about understanding the hormonal shifts women undergo. It’s about understanding ourselves, our bodies, and the shared experiences that unite us all.
Petra says "Menopause is a positive opportunity for self-growth, healing past pain reconciling the emotions of broken past relationships as well as befriending yourself a woman, befriending your body with self-love and compassion so that you can step into your post-reproductive stage of life feeling renewed empowered by this self-acceptance".
Menopause Yoga: A Tapestry of Experience
Drawing from both Western Medical Science and time-honoured Eastern traditions, Menopause Yoga is a heartfelt blend of knowledge, understanding, and compassion. It's not about fighting against the tides but about flowing with them, understanding the ebbs and the flows, and learning to harness the inherent power that comes with this 'second spring'.
Petra's own journey, marked by early menopause, is a testament to the power of community and shared understanding. Her courses are less about teaching and more about coming together, sharing stories, and finding strength in shared experiences.
Together, We Embrace Menopause
Yoga isn't just about flexibility of the body, but of the mind and soul. Menopause Yoga encapsulates this philosophy by asking us to be flexible in our understanding, to lean into the changes, and to embrace them with an open heart.
