The menstrual cycle affect half the population. And the majority of people practising yoga are women. Yet we rarely even discuss how the hormones change every week through the menstrual cycle and how it affects us - in daily life or in our yoga.
This training is based on my book Teaching yoga for the menstrual cycle - an āyurvedic approach where we delve into the hormonal cycle both from a Western perspective and more in-depth of the āyurvedic perspective and how it relates to our yoga practise and teaching.
Each session will consist of a lecture/teaching time, q&a and a yoga practise for womb or menstrual health. Including:
Why we need menstrual cycle awareness
The Western approach to yoga + the traditional culture
Introduction to Sāṅkhya philosophy
Introduction to āyurveda as it relates to the menstrual cycle
The five great elements, dosas, prana/apana
The Western hormonal cycle
The āyurvedic cycle, the dosas, the “ideal” period, periods related to the dosas
Menarche to perimenopause / our life cycle
Yoga for each phase of the cycle
Yoga for common complaints
Class planning and one-to-ones
and more…
Expect each class to last 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The classes are recorded and you can access them through the online portal for 1 year. For privacy, I will not record attendees’ voices/videos (during question time). If you can not make it live you can email me any questions you may have which will then be discussed in the live session.
Who is the immersion for:
yoga teachers of all traditions
yoga teachers in training
yoga practitioners with a strong interest in yoga (as a whole, not just stretching/exercise)
people with a love for and strong background in yoga but might also be interested in āyurveda, women’s circles, red tents, womb wellness, own self-development and self-care.
We welcome all however the required reading Teaching yoga for the menstrual cycle - an āyurvedic approach and teachings on the immersion are for people with experience in yoga such as teachers and people who love yoga.

This is a further training course for your own personal and professional development rather than a teacher training course. And I encourage you to join us live where possible.
